A german birthday small cake! They had'nt enough flour and cream to make one that reaches the edge of the plate at the end of war, so you reallistically added some small pastries around the cake.
Seems you had trouble with molding the 12 candles, they are too short...

No, I just built three of them in 1/35 and the wheels don't look like that.

A paper panzer of some kind? It resembles something from the Tiger line more than the Panther, if I am using the interleaved wheels as a clue.
They partly remind me of the Tiger (P) and partly of the E-100 and yet neither.

You guys are on the same track I went down when trying to figure out the wheel. Like allot of German stuff, this wheel is unique to the tank it was put on. Porsche only made a few suspension systems, The Elephant, The Maus and this.
I always loved this model of the Jagdtiger, I think the smaller wheels make it look even larger!
Im trying to make a 1/16 version. I think I made it slightly to small though, so before I enlarge it I may cast it and send a copy to Mathew in case any of you want a Porsche Jagdtiger
Here is the real thing.
I will have to change the inside portion again as you can see the real thing has a slightly larger lip. Scratch building is hard!! My hat is off to those of you that make it look so easy!
