wow that is beautiful. this is the first time i've seen one.

Hey Jerry, if you get a chance I'd really appreciate seeing a photo of this beauty next to a Tiger in the same 1/10 scale. Thank you.

Ah, one of my absolute favorites.

It's like a Tiger cub. ;)

Wow, I have always liked this tank even though it was a VK prototype. Is thia a kit or did you make it?

It is on its way to me. I found it "over there" at an extremely favorable price so I bagged it.
It is made by Nils Hermann.

I'll post more photos when I have it in hand.

Jerry

You know, this lights the bulb over my head: Pz I F. ;)

Since tracks and sprockets really are the only thing that stands in my way of a scratch build (I would kill for a set of metal 1/16 Pz I tracks), this would be ideal since Tiger parts could be used, assuming the links cound be cut down to transport track width.

I even have the Panzertracts on it too.

Jerry, you have a beautiful little baby there! :eek: I'm sure it will grow up to be great someday. :) Are you sure it's yours? :confused: It doesn't look a bit like you............

rex

Sssshhh, she's adopted.

Jerry

Jeff, Kenny Kong was making a set of 1/16 metal Tiger I travel tracks, but I am not sure if they are still produced? Here is his site and I attached some photos of them from his site. They are still listed at $120, just not sure if he still makes them?

Dumb question. Do you still have Nils panzer I & panzer II? Some pics of those would be neat as well.
rex

Rex, not a dumb question at all... I do still have them.

plus Nils' hetzer tracks on my Hetzer, his PzKw II based Bison lower hull( longer hull with six road wheels) that carried a
15cm sIG 33 howitzer- but I don't have the upper hull...yet- although I asked him to make me one.

I promise when New Baby arrives I'll take a new family photo.

Jerry

Jeeeze I aapreciate everyone not jumping on my PzKw IIL slip.... this is a PzKw II J....The II L of course being the Lynx...

You guys are so kind....

Jerry

Heck .... I knew that ..... I just didn't want to be the one to cast the first stone. But hey, I still think it is a nice Stuart.

After a month my new little baby was delivered by the armor stork. The Others greeted him warmly...

Like that Panzer II F?, Panzer I and the Hetzer as well. Very nice addition as well. Is one of the rubber tires off the rim in the 2nd photo?:cool:

Hey tanks, MAUS45. Yep the tire is broken, split; it was inside the model. No worries though I'll make a mold to vulcanize my own rubber tires anyway.
It's a topic for an entirely new thread but I vulcanize/ make any tire I want with tire retread rubber. It's tough, cheap er than casting types) and it's really easy to work with. I need to get a new supply of rubber though.

Jerry

Jerry ....
You build gas engines, transmissions, bodies ----- and now tires? Where will it end?
rex

It will probably end when one of three things happen:

1. when I meet and marry a lady who says "enough already" and I'm crazy in love enough to listen...
2. when I run out of space.....
3. well maybe when I kick the bucket...

While it will likely be Nr 2 I'm hoping against all odds it will be Nr 1....

Jerry

~~~~~~~~~~

If number one happens, can I have your stuff :confused:
rex :)

I decided to weigh the II J and was surprised to find it weighs a hefty 29.5 pounds. Small but chunky. Like me.

Jerry

I can see it coming. The Rex Ross dating service for forlorn tankers. Tanque,, I would be very suspicious if Rex asks for a picture, or people start telling you that your on line picture looks a lot like Brad Pitt. jot

Oooooooh I get it now you guys.... d'oh!

Yeah sure, Rex yeah that's it. I can't blame having to take pain
meds anymore so the mental slowness it's all mine...

I just survived one that would have swapped everything I had
for a Klondike Bar...
