Marder 3

One of my current 1/18th projects, was requested by a gentlemen, who has since decided he no longer wants it, so will finish it then decide what to do with it when it is finished. Have a lot of time invested into this vehicle. http://i1313.photobucket.com/albums/t549/aracula/Marder3005_zpsdd7ea8c5.j...

Crafted the road wheels, had to pour 48 of them, took awhile to get them all made.

Re: 1/18 GERMAN 15cm sFH 18 Howitzer

I cast a lot of the parts now, but almost all my hulls are still hand crafted from styrene plastic sheets.

I never could bring myself to destroy a 21st century toy or any of the other 1/18th ones to make a different version, just prefer to make it from scratch.

1/18 GERMAN 15cm sFH 18 Howitzer

I know they recently built a 1/16th version of this gun, but I wanted a 1/18th version so I decided to build one, and am almost done, I also molded the parts so should be able to reproduce them fairly easy, if anyone else might be interested in one, just let me know. Will post some pictures of it so...

Actually is 24 road wheels per side. And a 1/16th king tiger track actually works pretty good for this project :)

Re: Aracula's 1/18 Stug IV Review and Finish Project (Finish

Very, very nice, I can build pretty good but my painting skills need work.

Now are you using enamel paint, or acrylic?

After you put on your weathering dust, what are you using to keep it on?
