I've just completed doing the "Basic" paint work for my Weirdwar German Super tank.
It is the Panzer VIIe "Säbelzahntiger" ( Saber-toothed Tiger), it's name derived from it's Long Fangs (twinned 128mm cannons).
All it needs now is some weathering and a coat of matt varnish.

I started a new post rather than "Re-vive" the older one of its build up which can be found here:

Scary, old chap. Keep going. Will be great use to keep away that TMP mob with the pitchforks and torches when they come for you.
-
Great stuff.Make sure you pay your road tax on it tho!!! Inspirational as always.

Interesting! You might want to add a couple of ladders, though. It's a long way up without an ice axe and crampons! :D

Thanks for the comments!

I thought exactly the same thing. If you look at the back of the tank in the first picture you can just about see a ladder to get onto the rear deck. :D

Now that's some great Weird WWII kit! Dual 128?! That will ruin your fresh OD paint job real quick.
Great stuff,

Here's the completed Säbelzahntiger ( although it could do with a pintle mounted MG!!)
It's a little shiny as the varnish isn't quite dry.

I had a bit of a nightmare with the decals as some of them came off when I was handling it ( I had to repaint the damaged bits by hand, what a pain!!)
Hope you like it.

I love it. And I´m afraid I´ll have to buy a 1/35th scale King Tiger to build a "Mammutpanzer" myself.
-
After Geuden's thread I want to see the recovery vehicle. ;)
Really, I would expect something this huge to be taking refuge in tunnels like the German guns at Anzio.
-
That's another awesome vehicle mate, I'd like to see the face on the traffic warden trying to give it a ticket lol lol
There's one thing missing though....................the steam boiler. Ah wrong section lol
The Weathering really sets it off a treat, Grrrrrrreat job. (That's the next up from Well Done)

Rudi, Pappa usually uses the force but when he's tired he has to join us mortals and paint by hand lol lol

What a tank! :o
I would be pleased to see some group shots of your WWW2-Germans. ::)

Rudi,
I was wondering... that huge AT gun you're working on hasn't got anything to do with this beauty has it? :-*
And could I please have my garden hose back? :(
-
Thanks for the comments!
Just a quick pic of my German army so far......

I'll take a better one in some "natural" light as my digi-camera is playing up a bit.
Hmmmm...... should i be concerned about Rudi's AT gun...... ???

Methinks I'm gonna stay away from Germany for a while (at least the 1948 version lol). Very nice PM, are there more detailed pics of the balloon somewhere around?

THat won´t do you any good! With all those excellent motorways you Belgians built, they´ll be rolling all over Antwerp in no time! lol
Suuuuperb work, PM. I REALLY REALLY need to do some 3W2 stuff again.

Willie!!! You promised not to tell!!!! ???
Anyway, I only borrowed your 4" diameter garden hose (can't imagine why you want it back, living in an appartment...) to illustrate to a certain party what I consider "small" lol
OK, OK I'll return it tonight!

"All those excellent motorways" hé... Well - as it happens - Chris, I am into civil engineering and my job involves supervision on part of the roadbuilding process in Belgium (I drive 70-80.000 km a year in a country the size of a doormat...).
I can tell you: "excellent" is a groce overstatement: there isn't even enough money available for proper maintenance. BTW, on the positive side: I'm working for a German manufacturer supplying a product that prolongs the lifespan of asphalt based in Rheinland-Westfalen... lol

Alright, maybe "excellent" is only relative - everytime I went over to Belgium, it was an easy drive, no congestions (on weekends), even when there was road construction... ;) More than I can say of Germany. But then again, it is customary here to lament our motorways.

I see your point, but take my advice: don't come over on weekdays (or bring your sandwiches...). I assisted at a meeting in Brussels some months ago and the German contingent was running late. When they finally arrived, one of them said: "Riesenparkplätze haben Sie hier!". Guess that sums it up nicely lol
