Do you know if anyone make the Sdkfz. 6/3 "Diana" at 1/56 scale?

Warlord has it in their "Duel in the Sun" book, so it'll probably be here soon.

At least anyone makes the standard Sdkfz. 6 and the soviet 76.2mm M1936 field gun. I could try to make a scrach built version of this vehicle.

Finally, I'm making the body of de Diana. Still waiting the base vehicle.

The wheel of the gun are not correct. But don't have the skills to make styrene circles.

Yes there is. I've the Shapeway's model.

Lovely model and fits very well with Perry Miniatures crew.

On the workbench at the moment.

It's very expensive

Yes, it is an expensive model, but worth it IMHO.

Thanks.

Your Diana already looks great! :)
It's an interesting vehicle, as are all those German SPGs made with captured guns or vehicles.

Your build is looking great so far. Odd or lesser used vehicles always make for a fun modeling project.

Nice start!

I can laser cut you some plasticard circles - just let me know what you need (within reason) and we'll work it out. 
I ttakes longer to fire up the Windows 95 workshop PC than it does to cut them (If it's stupid but it works it's not stupid lol )

That shapeways model...  expensive and pretty basic IMHO...

The Diana finished. Not 100% exact, but, with my skills it's all I can do.

Wow, would love to have a model of this ;)

The stering wheel and the headligths are from the Rubicon's M3/M3A1 kit. The gun is from Great Scspe Games. The rest is from scratch.

I'm with the others - a nice bit of scratch building.

This is one impressive scratch build. And amazing that you went the long way. I am currently thinking about the Diana as well, but most likely going to use the Sd.Kfz. 7 kit as a starting point und just scratch build the cabin.
Title: Re: Sdkfz. 6/3 "Diana"
Post by: cromojaro on February 09, 2020, 11:19:37 AM
My initial plan was making the cabin and wait until the Sdkfz 6 being available from  Blitzkrieg Miniatures (or another company). But a friend told me "you can do all by yoursellf'.

Done. Tomorrow with more light I'll post better photos.

When the isolation finished (or the shops can ships postal orders), I will add a Perry's crew.

Stunning scratch building. I'm honestly surprised you consider the wheels to be beyond you when you've done just a bang up job on the rest of the build.

Straight lines are easy to do in styrene with a sharp knife and a metalic ruler. But circles are more complicated. And finally I bought a punch tools kit to do small circles. The rest is only patience.

LOTS of patience!
