Small Scale Military Headquarters

I have a commisssion coming up. One of my customers wants a bunch of remote mg-34 with the protector shield.

It seems that all of the 21st Hetzers came without these items and he wants me to make him a few.

Would anybody else want any ?

Cost dependent, I would want a couple.

I'd be interested in a few if the price were reasonable.

That is a great idea--let us know with the cost.
Any ideas on matching the paint

Hey Matthew, can't wait to see your remote MG's ...I know they will be fantastic. Mine took way too long to make and were one offs...keep us posted! Will you be doing any of the front left fender notek lights? 21st left those off too.

I was thinking $2 -$3 for the MG and $2-$3 for the shield.

How does that sound ?

Any more interest in the notek ?

1/32 scale is not really my thing because it is too small for my big hands

But now a days a job is a job.

.......... count me in. I'd buy @ least 4 .

* Thanks Matt !

.......... it's better'n tryin' ta make'm yerself.

I may be.

Definitely sounds reasonable to me. And I would also be interested in the Notek as well.

Yes, I would be interested. I fashioned a couple shields using thin styrene sheet glued to an FOV MG-42 that don't look too bad, but I would like to see how yours come out

Id be interested in at least two.

I'm interested in a couple.

I would be good for one.

Hey, pickelhaube are you going to be able to make these or is there not enough interest to make the molds?

I remember when I got mine I was pissed that the machine gun and shield were'nt there, so I called the vendor raising hell and was told it was never on the model to begin with .

If this ends up being a project you do I will take at least one, maybe I'll buy another just so I have two that look correct

Well this project will be done !!

My commissioner came through and I will get started on it hopefully next week.

I have a Mg- 34 in 1/32 scale . Now I just need to make the shield.

Any more interest in the Notek light ?

If they can be done for that price or less, I would be in for 2 sets. If the price was similar, I might want 2 Noteks.

Are your big, meaty claws up to the challenge of 1/32?

I am not sure

I do need somebody to watch my back when I go in.

>>> and that includes Notek. ... but what concerns me is the amount of Flash ! ... especially on the MG's . The guns themselves are fragile enough w/o having to cut and pick it off. They could easily be broken. The Noteks are another thing.

Flash is an issue with resin parts. Let me see what I can do. These things will be small and fragile.

But Verlinden has made a fortune using it.

BTW Verlinden products suffer from flash, holes and GIGANTIC POUR STUBS. I SAID GIGANTIC.

On that note any advice on how to remove verlinden pielces fron their bases? I dought some artillery shells and im afraid i might damage the smaller pieces.

Also id be interested in at least 2 noteks as well

I have started my Firefly kit and hope to get started on this custom mod this weekend.

Hopefully the shield and the notek will not be a big deal. The Notek will be the challange. The shield not so much.

Notek inspiration. I got this a few months ago

I think that I will get a chance to start on this project on Sunday.

The Notek and Mg remot prototypes are done !!!!

Moulding and casting should start next week.











These parts finally complete this model.

The Notek is a tight fit on the lamp stub. But I am sure you will want to glue it on beause it will be easily lost.
The Mg set up will have a piece of piano wire cast into the Mg and its holster.
That will thread into the shield and go through tiny brass tube that fits snugly into the Mg hole on the 21st Hetzer mg location.
The brass tube goes alll of the way down into the hull.
This will allow you to turn the mg .

No glue will have to be used to mount the mg and it's shield.
