This is looking great  , if I was being hyper critical I would say the 76mm main gun barrel looks a bit oversized.  But regardless of that I'll definately be buying one when available and have to say, I'm continually amazed by the quality and speed of the work you produce in plasticard. Top stuff.

Thanks... I oversized the gun on purpose, it looked a little too tiny in realistic scale.

already excellent model!!

not a bad idea to oversize the gun, but adding a real scale alternative could prove wise for the rivet counting customers

Ive been looking for one of these for a long time.

Thank you!

I agree. Tobi, if you'd also do a realistic sized gun, I would appreciate it.

Hi,

I reduced the gunsize. With more details coming up it looked a little too big.
I'll start riveting this week, then come the wheels

Just out of curiosity, Tobi, what do you use for rivets? Or is that a trade secret?

I even sell the tool I use to produce rivets. It is a very complicated finemechanic piece of engineering, so it is not cheap. It produces rivets in every size! Order now, only 50 Euro!

Nice, both the car and the rivet machine

I just wanted to post the (almost) final pictures... here they are:







Only the Maxims are missing and some putty here and there.

Cheers,

great stuff 

[Mr.Marx]

How soon can I buy some?

 

[Doc Twilight]

"When can I buy some?"

Soon as he gets off his lazy butt and mails it to me... *grin* Just kidding. Whenever Tobi's ready, I'll send him payment, and then it'll be shipped here. Probably three to four weeks in transit, and... given current time at the Caster, I'd say... April at the earliest, maybe? Some of his stuff gets here pretty quickly, so it's a possibility.
