Ehrhardt E-V/4

Hi... an early w.i.p. picture

Excellent! I've been hoping Company B would get around to doing one, but I know their list is a mile long. Thanks for doing this.

[Mancha]

I always love to see your work.  Without consulting other pictures, however, I have to wonder if it's long enough?  Looks a little stubby.

You're welcome;) Tobi is sculpting it for Black Army. I'll let everybody know as soon as it's ready.

Looks great so far, Tobi!

Great news! I really look forward to add this to my Freikorps forces. Please don´t "undersize" it. I rather have it too big than too small. I agree with Manchas comment, even if it can be hard to judge from the photo angle. Looking at the picture below the Ehrhardt look a bit bigger:

How about a Garford next?

Scale is 1/56th I hope?

Scale is 1/56th I hope?

Roughly, yes.

How about a Garford next?

The Garford is one of the things on the list of things I'd like to commission from Tobi, but I dare not inflict more than one project on Tobi at a time, as he has his own company, and is quite busy building items for it:) It may be something simpler next, at any rate, from my end, just to give him a break from these bizarre shapes I've been hounding him with.

That seems to ee an Ehrhardt E-V/7 from what  learned from the picures... We' ll see, how it turns out

Thanks for the ID! The text only said Ehrhardt I think... 
Anyway. please just do a big and nasty Ehrhardt bristling with guns. I am sure it will receive a lot of attention among wargamers

[Tobsen77]

Would you say that the front wheels are smaller in diameter than the rear wheels?



Tobi

[Schogun]

Maybe just slightly, but not enough to have to cast two separate wheels?

I agree with Schogun on this one, Tobi. I can see what looks like a slight difference, but he puts it best. Really not needed in a model for wargaming. It looks like a few milimeters difference - certainly not a massive distinction. I'm, by far, no expert on this vehicle, so if anybody knows more about it, I'll defer to them. But from where I'm sitting, yeah, looks close enough to me.

If you check this (and other pics in the www), the question should be, if the wheels on your pic might be replacements.

Edit: removed the pic link, as it doesn't work any more

Considering the model, I'm with Schogun and Doc Twilight: one size should fit front and rear axle

[Tobsen77]

Thanks guys... there seems to be more than one wheel type. Anyway, I'll do 2 sizes and whoever casts or assembles that beast can choose





The soldier is Artizan 28mm, scale should be fine. The reference was the YouTube video here, check 0:42
