Not my favorite model, I fear, though you've done it up fine.
Must thank you for making me take another look there. Some I'd forgotten, some I think are new. I can't believe I'd not remember that Libelle!
Trust me, you've done Tobsen77 a great service!

PS Does anyone know if they are willing to sell parts from kits?

Tobsens models always bring a smile to my face. Its always great to see what people do with them.

Tobsen77 gets weirder yet with the OctoTank:

One wonders if they'd sell tentacles separately...

I'm beginning to think 'unnecessary' as realizing should be able to completely cannibalize any kit I'd get...
For instance, Labelle would appeal more if it had a rear seat for crew to allow the pilot to, you know, pilot. A second cockpit section could be added aft the engine. Oh, I suppose I could double the engine AND wings...
Don't necessarily like the 'tail' anyway, but nondescript enough to fit most anywhere, and Bob's my uncle.
Even the first model here, 'not my favorite model,' I'd end up splitting into a diving bell and tracks for something else. Come to think of it, the Octo's tracks look a heck of a lot like the upright tank...

How many times have I thought 'now, that's just uselessly insane! Oh, wait a mo...' ;)

I suppose. Can't really think of a use for the body tho.

Unfortunately, no breakdown of parts on the website. I was wondering if the tentacles were separate from the 'tube' ends. Almost like rocket tubes, which would, without tracks, make it a potential rocket sub. ;->=

Like that little tank,nice painting Grimm 8) Now show us more :)

Hi there... Grimm, always a suprise :) really great paintjobs, can't wait to see them in the flesh. Maybe you can bring them to Tactica...?
If anybody needs only parts from certain kits, feel free to contact me :)
Cheers,
Tobi

No need to, I heard they got cold ones there :)

What, the scaly things you ride??? :o
Thanks for the offer of parts, but I'm still cogitating, and still think whatever I tried to cobble, I'd find uses for the spare parts. However, if you could include one 'exploded' pic per offering, I'd be grateful!
Really appreciate you speaking up; fine, fun work you have there!

I have pics of the unassembled kits for most of the models and will deliver the missing ones asap ;)

And thanks to Grimm's thread, I now own one of those - just got it, with a Treffas Wagen, from the post office this morning. I only had time to take a rapid peek, but the parts are very nicely done. The Treffas Wagen is surprisingly big in the flesh. http://www.tobsen77.de/products/treffas.php (http://www.tobsen77.de/products/treffas.php)
The packaging: brilliant, with very rigid boxes, parts in small bags, packaging to absorb impacts - best I've seen.
Can't wait to get started on them. 8) 8) 8)

Yes, Tobsen, you have some wonderful things on your website. lovely vehicles. That pilot by Bob Olley is wonderful, too :) All good things.
And nice to see your work on here again, Grimm :)

And to take the review further, I have assembled the Treffas Wagen (which I had mistakenly believed to be a fictional design and was surprised to find out it had actually been built! http://www.landships.freeservers.com/treffaswagen_timrigsby.htm (http://www.landships.freeservers.com/treffaswagen_timrigsby.htm) - which makes it cooler - I need to study more). Very little, and easy, cleaning of the resin was required, and the fit of all parts was excellent, right down to the front roller which actually rotates in its yoke. I was also pleased to see that the paint I am using (GW Foundation) adheres to the resin without any preparation. Some very small bubbles, all on the underside, were easy to fill and eliminate.
There is some bad news of course: I might be spending more money on other models....

Another weird vehicle from the wacky Germans. Less strange than the Octotank tho and perhaps more @ pulp than at VSF:

I've heard nothing but 'great service' from folks, but I'm the first who can claim it before I even bought! :-*
Hope to have an order, soon. There have been so many great, new offerings from so many folk, it's easy to get lost/side-tracked. ::)

A WWI/WWWI oddity. Not sure if this is based on a real or an imaginary prototype, actually o_o

Hmmm... I'd hate to be the loader in that photo with two gun breeches recoiling into the same space, never mind the noise and fumes :o.
The model though has machine guns, though they would end up shooting the engine exhausts off :)
