Stolzdorf. My buildings/battlefield/gadgets.

Post by Rad_Schuhart »

Hi guys. I finished my tank army but I felt I had to start building some buildings to spice the things a bit.

First if all I must confess I copied Marco Peter´s job in a 90% I hope he feels honored and sees it like a tribute, lol.

Everything is on early stages of developing, but I have many ideas for it.

The tower is expected to have a fully working spotlight with pan and tilt, with obvious working light. It will have a MG 42, which may have sound, lights, and IR combat functions. Also Im planning to add a small stove in the tower, and of course I have to paint it too.

About the machine gun nest, Im planning to add the MG08 that midlife showed us some time ago.

Hope you enjoy it, and I will be glad to have feedback from you.

Hi Mick, it is 1:16 scale, lol. I think it is about 45cms long and exactly 10cms wide but I will measure it when I arrive home. Anyway nowadays there is such a small RC equipment that I think I could do it in a 1:35 scale too. :D

Really cool! You corrected some of my errors haha, so I saved YOUR photo for future builds! :-P
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Yes, Rad has definite perfectionist tendencies.. :shh: My eyes were drawn to the nicely appointed Kubelwagon (Tamiya static version, upgraded to RC? )..
Our British members ought to be good at building guard towers like that nifty one ( :thumbup: , by the way, Rad), as it was the British who invented the Concentration camp in the first instance (for use in against the Boers in South Africa) 8O .
Not a proud addition to the massive list of great British inventions.. :D

That’s a rare admission mate, I have lots of South African friends from that area that to this day are resentful of that part of their ansestral history.
But hey, I imagine Gaul should still be hacked off with Rome !!!

After googling and youtubing for a while, now I know how to do the small mountain for my machine gun nest, and looks like a good way for doing a bunker too:

No need to watch the entire video, lol, you can jump.

I added this. I had no idea about what to write, so if somebody has a better idea, I am all eyes.

This is some roof detail. The roof slides so I can access to the inside much better for adding details, figures and so on.
