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

This is a bridge I've been working on, it's a fish tank decoration I got at Petco a while back.
It started out 15" x 5.5" x 3" or 4"

The length and height are the same but its now 9.5" wide.

Looks cool! The BMW R75 looks cool! Where did you get that?

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.....

I've done some more work to the bridge.

I added some styrofoam blocks to the walls of the bridge to make it look more in scale.

cork was glued down on both sides as a walkway / sidewalk.

working on a diorama, just trying some ideas.

I am on the fence with the cork side walk but the styro hand rails look way cool and better looking.

A bridge that size can do without a sidewalk. Looks great though!

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.

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!

maritime96 · Post by **maritime96** » Mon Jul 29, 2013 3:19 pm

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

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!

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

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!
