Re: Normandy Customs
Great Work Normandy. It's funny the Sturmtiger is one I barely started and didn' t finish either. Yours looks great even unfinished

Re: Normandy Customs
Thanks Jon,
The BMW is the Indians Jones bike with Pickelhaube's custom wheels and sidecar.
Matthew's sidecar kit is just fantastic, I got six.....

Re: Normandy Customs
A bridge that size can do without a sidewalk. Looks great though!

Re: Normandy Customs
I love the bridge Normandy!
Here is an idea to cover the road.
Its 12" x 18" and can be cut to fit.

Ive used it before and it comes out pretty good, you may want to add some woodland scenics moss on the edges and in some of the cracks, plus spray it with dull coat to remove the shine.

Re: Normandy Customs
Jon, You won't believe it but I had that on the bridge as road surface, then went with Lamax's brick
road. I didn't like the look of ether. Oh well I'm happy with the way it looks now.
Thanks for the interest and comments guys!

Looking good. I agree with the other guys, I too am on the fence with that sidewalk, but the rest looks fantastic!!

Re: Normandy Customs
haha! well I guess we all think alike! I like the way it looks! If you put it up on a shelf with stuff crossing it, it wont even be noticeable anyway! Very cool!normandy wrote:Jon, You won't believe it but I had that on the bridge as road surface, then went with Lamax's brick

Re: Normandy Customs
Love your customs but I only have one question -
The Panzerjager...... is your model the 2 man crew Panzerjager, or the initial one guy model? I believe the 2 man model only came out as a one-of prototype before the end of the war. The 1 man model saw action at the end of WW2 at the Austrian Tyrol where a Sherman platoon fought Nazi's with the assistance of anti-Nazi German Army troops protecting French prisoners in a castle. The 1 man Panzerjager attacked with the Nazi's and was destroyed with a single Sherman round of the U.S. prototype wire guided round that wrapped itself around the Panzerjager legs and caused it to collapse. Pic of the Panzerjager is on page 118 of the book "The Last Battle".
Your stuff is super.
TTT

Re: Normandy Customs
Hey TTT,
My Jager is the two man crew....
Commander:
and Driver / Gunner:
The book "The Last Battle" by S Harding, sounds like a great story and is a true account of a not
often talked about battle. The part about the Panzerjager sounds like a movie I saw "A Long Time Ago
In Theater Far, Far Away"...............
I have plans for a second Panzerjager but that intel is classified.
Thanks for the interest TTT!
