@HERMAN BIX - A lot of the parts are already up on Shapeways.


@cannedheat - But then I won't have a complete "Panzer" collection. Got a Panther to do up then I'll have the set PzI to PzVI.

Just one of each, though I'm planning on doing the Jagd and Stug line sometime in the future.

Looking good. What did you correct on the exhaust pipe?

The exhaust should tilt to the left and away from the tank. The HL exhaust tilts to the left but remains level with the tank(looking from above).

That switch setup is pretty sweet! Very ingenious. But....no smoker? You even fixed the exhaust...gotta have a smoker. ;)

BTW...could you take a sideways shot of the exhaust? I'd like to get an idea of what you did and how far angled it should be. TIA

I don't have smokers in any of my tanks. I find them to be more trouble then they're worth. I made a fan smoker for my first Tiger but the novelty soon wore off.

It should be a bit further over to the right (bottom pic).
