Bison II

[Fitz]

Apparently this self-propelled gun ended up being called "Bison II" due to a model-maker's error, and like many nicknames given to German WWII vehicles, it was never used by the Germans themselves.

Its proper name is 15cm sIG 33 auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen II (Sf), which is a hell of a mouthful. I'm just going to keep calling it Bison.

The base model I built this up from was by Bergman, though all that's left is (most of) the  hull. I replaced the running gear and gun, rebuilt the engine grills, and cobbled together a couple of crewmen from some figures by someone whose name I've forgotten.

As usual, when I've decided to do some paint chipping, I've gone completely overboard. This looks more like shrapnel damage than normal wear and tear. Scale is 1:100 (15mm)

That looks really nice, who's the maker? It reminds me of the one Perry Miniatures is making in 1/56.

Great paintjob, and great model! I've never gotten into the north Africa campaign myself (I think it's the shorts), but there are some intriguing vehicles to paint and field on the table.

Nicely done

With the reference to Bergman - I assume it's a 3d print. M Bergman has produced 3d files for a huge number of mainly WWII vehicles.

It's a 3d print, printed on my old Elegoo Mars Pro. The base model was designed by M. Bergman, but I've modified it fairly heavily. I use Blender for all my 3d design.

Thanks, I'm not familiar with all the 3D sculptors out there.

m Bergman is one of the very early prolific sculptors out there, initially on Thingiverse but gradually moving stuff to Wargaming 3D. A multitude of very nice 1/100 (mostly) scale vehicles/pieces.
