Hi Zak,

Two wonderful vehicles to go into the diorama again. Like the chair, is it inspired by Ieka?
Cheers,

Remember when I used the wrong word for  IKEA and YOU took the mickey out of me Kevin ?
Or is this a new show (Ieka) that has opened up in Driffield, if its not a new shop just you wait till tonight

The bits and pieces are resin parts from an Azimut resin kit. It is a German Command Trailer and as such could have been used during V2 launches.
Here are all the parts and some construction.

Cyril gave me a completed Famo - I have weathered and repainted some of this, it is still a work in progress.
Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 12t Sd.Kfz.8
Halftracked prime mover of Wehrmacht troops, the Zugkraftwagen 12t heavy traction powered vehicle. The Sd.Kfz.8 was manufactured primarily at the Daimler-Benz factory in Berlin - Marienfeld and the Kruppwerke at Mülhausen, some also at Skodawerke at Pilsen. Manned by a crew of up to 13 and powered by a 185 net horsepower- this machine was used as a support tractor for the V2 troops, although shown in a few photos towing the Meillerwagen.

Hi Msea,

Didn't spot that faux-pas by me 'Ieka' instead of 'Ikea'

Though if Zak has his way, it'll be 'Ieka' for me when he's chasing me for naughty comments...........

I think if Zak has his way its "Ieka" for the lot of us.

The command trailer needs weathering and some dry brushing to complete it.

Next it will be this Opel Blitz Maultier from Italeri, but with a cabin on the back for control and so on.
Maultier means mule.
I picked one of these up on EBay, I will have to scratch build the rear cabin.

Opel Blitz Maultier 3t S-type with radiocabin based on the S-Type, with the rear running gear copied from the British Carden-Loyd carrier. Cables inside for connecting the antenna's with the transmitter truck radio installation.

It is amazing what you get done by not watching TV and or sleeping.
This kit is quite nice considering its age, the plastic was a little brittle.

[MSea]

My only question is how do you fit 38 hours into a single day

I agree about tv Zac, the amount of programmes available to watch has gone beyond saturation point now, a lot of it is mindless drivel.

More done, some scratch building involved - it's only a box really.
Undercoated.

[zak]

Painted in dunkelgelb and now the details are being painted.

Just about finished, I have included a photo the vehicle modelled as well.
