Here is a quick pic of the SDKFZ 223 I built from card stock. I will post more pictures when I can.

I hope you like it.

Thanks,

Major Hoover

Looking good & welcome to the board. The SDK222 is a vehicle I'd like to see in 1:18. 21c has already done a 1:32 example that looks great. That's also an interesting collection of books you have shelved behind the vehicle as well

Many thanks...

I have been lurking around the board for some time and finally decided to post something.

That book shelf is mainly my wife's (although I have Clauswitz and Machevilli there).

Thanks again for the comments

FINE WORK THERE! FROM CARDBOARD NO LESS!
WELCOME ABOARD AND PLEASE CONTINUE TO SHARE!

Very very nice, and out of cardboard too! Amazing. What did you make the wheels and tires out of?

That looks pretty good MajorHoover. What part of Texas do you call home?

Mark

what scale is it and what card model did you use?

Thanks for the comments!! I appreciate the warm welcome. This is a great board!

Some answers to your questions:

Moth - the wheels are made of wood. I buy them from Hobby Lobby. They come in several sizes and seem to work well in this scale.

Aferguson - it is 1/18 scale (approx.) I actually built it from scratch using some diagrams scaled up on a copy machine as a rough template.

For Kamikaze, I live in DFW (Arlington, Tx)

Thanks again for your comments,

Major Hoover

Great job! That thing is awsome!

Welcome ---and nice job---hope to see more of your work!!!!----RED---

Very Nice I`m a BIG fan of the 222 myself & have materials sorted for starting my own sometime.

Though I`d love to see MORE & Larger photos of this if at all possible

! How long did it take you to build it?

That's cool!

Thanks for the nice comments!

It took me about two weekends to build it.

I take some additional pictures tonight and post them. I also have finished my M8 Greyhound and will post those as well.

Thanks again,

Major Hoover

Hi,

Here are a few more pics of the two armored cars I scratchbuilt.

Thanks,

Major Hoover

Awwwww WOW MajorHoover these two are Really Beauties

Well done Sir on two Very Well done custom vehicles. These are superb.

I don`t suppose you still have the scaled Templates of these two to post online for all of us who would like to try our hands at them?

I was helped a lot with ref material with a M8 though still not got started on that.

You however are truely kicking me up the arse to get started (thought that was the NCO`s job not th officers....LOL).

The 223 is amazing as already said.

TWO Outstanding vehicles I`d love to add to my collection.
Maybe you could start a mini line of these to sell too? I`d be interested

Thank You for sharing

Whenever I see a 222 I think of Lieutenant Grueber's 'little tank' from 'Allo Allo'.
Nice work!

HAHAHAHAHAHA Now who`s going to make a "Allo Allo" Dio then with Renee,Gruber etc & Don`t forget the painting of the "Fallen Madonna with the Big boobies"

Here are the scale drawings I used for the two vehicles.

By the way, I loved Allo Allo as well ...absolutely hysterical!

Thank`s Very much Major Hoover,these help a Great deal
