German Combat Walker
« on: 04 August 2009, 07:34:59 PM »
Pictured below is Standartenführer Zinngeschirrmann's (shown with his signature twin lugers) personal PzKpfw II Ausf N, during Operation Köstlichesfrühstück leading SS-Panzersturmkampfgruppe Zinngeschirrmann. 

Originally an PzKpfw II Ausf A, it has been progressively upgraded through the war, shown here with additional armour plates tacked on above the hull to protect the driver, while providing him with a better field of view.  The forward Anti-Aircraft MG34 has been removed for unknown reasons, while the rear AA MG has been retained.  Rather than having the later 'umbrella' type antenna, it has also retained the earlier wire-frame type antenna.



Inspired by Agis and Pappa Midnight mostly, I used a 1/72nd scale halftrack hull, and a Games Sweatship Imperial Guard Sentinel kit to bash together a combat walker for weird-war games.

Really cool little Mech. 8)
I love the idea that it's been upgraded as the war progressed.

BTW: That's some crazy looking firepower it's got mounted for such a small walker....the Allies better not underestimate the little blighter!!!!! :D
