Hi everyone always a fan of armour when I'm not building and getting myself in over my head I sometimes happen upon a wonderfully designed and built piece. I have always been a fan of the Dicker Max (amongst many other vehicles) and happened to purchase some items from Mr Micheal C from the forum and while we were talking the other day this piece of armour happened to become part of the discussion.

Of course once he and I worked out the details this beauty arrived at my doorstepImage

Michael and I have been incontact for quite some time now on the forum as I have developed some great friends while being a member hereImage I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to acquire this machine.

For those of you already familiar with this unique build thanks for looking. For those who are not familiar with it enjoy!

It's running Clark electronics

Incredibly the real thing only had a maybach 6cyl engine! I am working behind the scenes with Mr Maxmekker on an actual Maybach 6cyl engine sound files. He is the Clark board wizardImage


Here is the extensive list of items that went into its design...

Another member of our forum Mr Dgsselkirk did the wonderful paint jobImage

He is quite a talented builder and above all a great and helpful personImage

Now to the pictures.....ImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Carl, so glad it arrived more or less in one piece and a wonderful new home where it is being enjoyed and appreciated all over again.

Nice machine. Panzergrau colours aren't that common.

I was able to get it outside today after work. I always think natural light does a better job to show the paint job on these modelsImage ImageImageImageImageImage
