Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey Guys,

I know one of our fellow board members made some side skirts way back when. I think it was Gary 38.

Does he still make them ? I made a few in the past but never sold them and shelved the project. Is there still a demand for them ? The ones I made had a few rivets on them with the panel lines and also had the first plate pigeoned toed like the original.

How much did he sell them for ? I remmember that his were lazer cut or something like that.

Also , I was hot to trot on more Panzer IV customs. My Wirble wind went over very well . But the Panzer IV's are hard to come by now.So that is why I did not continue with any more Panzer projrcts.

The Hummel is based off of a Panzer but the bottom hull is hollowed out. So I would have to modify the whole bottom hull.

This leaves the boggie wheels and tracks. So if I casts the tracks and wheels all together this is a whole new tank kit.So that would add at least another $60 to a other wise $200-$250. Making the kit $260-$ 310.

But at least you will not have to hunt down and pay for a mother tank.

Any opionions on this?

skirtzen? Is that what Madana wears when she tours in Germany?




(you're going to smash all my british helmets with a hammer now, aren't you..)

I got a Pz4 from a fellow board member
its the tan RC one
missing the rail to mount the skirts but I would be interested if they dont cost a ton of money

Hey Zelda,

Thanks for the tip.
I ran a search and here is Gary's post.

He was offering the skurtz for $12. They are laser cut flat with panel lines. Mine will be pigeon toed as per originals rivets, panel lines AND hangers UNPAINTED for $20 . A little more expensive but a lot more detail.

Or I can do the Plain Jane for $14. I made my originals a few years before I even knew that there was a Ground Pounder web. I can also do the European shape skurtz or the front cut out style if you like so you can have 3 styles to chose from.

Fortunatley or unfortunatly and ETHECLY I do not have a copy of Gary's so you will NOT GET A COPY OF HIS. THIS ALSO MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF

Is there interest ?

Aferguson,

Hmmm.....

Pickelhaube Id be interested

Yeah it looks like its missing something for sure

I'd be interested.

I will try to get some pics up with my schirts.

Any opinions on the cast resin Panzer Mk -IV chassy ?

These might give you some ideas, To be true to 1/18 scale the skirts would be almost paper thin, even some of these are to thick.

These look fantastic, this battle damaged look is exactly, what I was thinking of doing with the Side Skirts.
Is there a gallery or thread for all of the Woofer's custom?

PM sent to you Fritzkrieg,

Matthew,
Are you thinking of doing the Skirts with single panels, and battle damage, How much extra $$$$$

No just solid pieces. The way I will make them they should be able to be snapped on the panel lines and make the indivisual panels.

I'd be interested in a prepainted set.

The Hun is the painter .

I am the builder

I am not sure that these will come prepainted. His stuff is custom and the custom paint jobs will not match the stock colors.

I did match the base paint to the original yellow in the Past. But I could never match the green X's.

The base color for S-1 would do fine.

Id rather they not be painted
pickelhaube would you be making the racks they hang on?

I was not planning to do the racks. Don't all of them come with the racks ?

I would be interested in the skirts also.

The RC versions don't have the hull racks.
