That looks great! What’s the story on the foam foam rubber tracks? I must have missed that. I’ve been putting off my build because the tracks look very time consuming.

I think Matthew can tell you what they're made of, but they go together faster than the resin and pin tracks.
There are two pieces per side and they are glued together to make one full track per side. I like the look of the resin
but they take some time.
Build the Tiger its a nice kit, Matthew did a nice job.

Hey Guys,

No foam just a resin rubber that seems to be working out well.
But it is a 24 hour set up time for the rubber to cure.
I agree the hard resin piece by piece does look better but a days worth of work to use them.
The cast rubber , 5 minuets !!!!

My next consignments are 3 Sdkfz 222.
One was my first panzer gray coloring .
It was a little bit of a challenge but I worked things out and the next will be much easier.

Pickel yet again more outstanding work! I'll say it once more, the washes make a huge difference in the look of these models.
I need to practice a little with them before doing a major project.
Great job on these!

M-10 ? Is that the US M-10 or the German Ersatz M10 Panther disguised as the US M-10 Tank Destroyer?

Sorry about that.
I plan on revamping the m-10 this year but I am dealing with some health issues and I am still work on storm damage on my house.

Very nice looking Matthew! The first thing I see is the brake and clutch lever/handles in the correct position, something
that wasn't on the original kit. Then the gas can and mounting bracket.
I've got six of these and I see they need updating. :shock:

Thanks for spotting those details Normandy.
I also swapped out the cables for thinner ones.
I also made a wooden ( plastic ) floor platform.
I also made wire front fender braces.

I have about 40 hours into this little rascal.

Matthew are the added details just for this consignment or will they be offered for existing kits?

I made the slat floor for this consignment.
If or when I remake the molds I will probably make it to go with the kit.
I guess I could make the fender wire as well .
The break handle flip would have to me done by the modeler.
It took 1-2 hours to do.
