I repainted the Awe Striker and put a motor of a Chap Mei buggy. The Beast Blaster I purchased incomplete. Thus I added some parts: Last weekend I purchased an incomplete large scale Hotwheels vehicle. The first picture shows the vehicle as purchased. The other picture...

Last weekend I bought a large Howitzer scale 1:18 on a flea market but some parts are missing. This cannon is no longer being sold in Brazil. Could anybody indicate a website with close-up pictures of that Howitzer? I would like to identify the missing parts and to make replacements.

I have added my personal type of a minute man rocket on a ramp and a tank reservoir to the Cobra fortress. The vehicle dominated by robotes in front of the fortress I have also changed because a white one if more visible on pictures. The rocket is a scale 1:144 Saturn rocket and the black...

My dioramas are never finished while they exist, but I wanted to finish the Cobra fortress for the time being. Here is it, occupying a total of approximately 2 square meters, with a population of about 100 and 25 attacking robots: The sizes are as follows: Front wall with cannons: 100...

In the weekend I added another building an a heliport to my large Cobra fortress under construction. All made of old plywood and cardboard. It's becomming a kind of "Recycle Castle". Today (Oct. 20, 2012) I have added a catapult jet ramp an some other parts. I have also put some more figures. I...

I have just updated the photobucket album with 11 more pictures of the Cobra fortress under construction. The top of the blue tower is about 1,35 meters above ground. Figures and vehicles are added only for purpose of showing the sizes (see my prior post of October 3, 2012). The gorund floor is...

In our neighborhood there is a reform going on in one of the houses and they threw away an in-built wardrobe. I picked up a lot of plywood, cleaned it all and started a project I wanted to do for a long time: A massive cobra fortress. By following the link attached you can see the work in...

That tank definitely should be produced. Why don't you offer that model to Hasbro for production? May be your masterpiece is a little bit too sofisticated for Hasbro but I think a simplified version with customization left to the customes would do it. If Hasbro were not interested, you could do...

I had an incomplete 1985 GI Joe Mauler tank and an also incomplete firefighter truck from Playmobil. Together with some other parts I made the firefighter tank you can see following that link: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/Klausmerkel/Feuerwehrpanzer%201_18/ The next days I have to...

Some years ago I needed a WWII landing boat and built one myself. As it was my first attempt, the boat got a little bit clumsy but it served its purpose. Here is the linke to the pictures of the boat in a JP diorama: http://s16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/Klausmerkel/Jurassic%20Park/...

That is an absolutely great model that you have built here.

The Citroen 2CV was nicknamed "Duck" in Germany and it became one of the most famous cars for University students. The entire production of its last years - in the early 80ies - was exported to Germany. Either you loved that car or you hated it because it was somehow complicated, in particular...

No weapons at this time of the year, I thought and made a Christmas crèche at scale 1:18. I fact I have a full set of figures of the holy family vut I could not find them. That is because most of my about 2,800 figures are individually packed in small papar sacks and boxed. Thus, I had to get a...

On September 17 I published a thread showing a watchtower of the Roman Limes around 200 A.D. The respective diorama still is not ready but I have made some progress. I have made the Limes palisades and a Germanic house. In fact the Roman Limes was made of palisades until abround 100-150 A.D. and...

You did an outstanding job with that truck.As far as I can see you turned it into an authentic M26 from WWII.

By the mid of the 1990s once I bought a Burago model of the 1931 Mercedes SSKL because I found it to be nice on a shelf. Some time later I travelled on business and when I came back my little son had used it for playing and by that had turned it into scrap. I bought another one, then a 1959...

I have some APCs from the toy manufaturer Lanard like the one in the attached picture. Can somebody tell whether that is a pure phantasy car or whether it represents an APC actually produced?

Very interesting indeed. I have the small tank in a version a little bit different as well as the cannon but I never knew that these were similar to Bundeswehr items. Chap Mei has a lot of interesting vehicles and above all figures. Normally they are cheaper and more simple than Hasbro. You can...

I am not sure whether I put this in the right section of this forum, but I have found the following blog with excerpts of a vintage magazine for technical inventions. It also contains a category "war". I found the blog absolutely amazing and I think it contains some great ideas for making a...

The watchtower is finished. Now I have to build the Limes wall and find some more Roman soldier figures. Most important: I have to find a space for the diorama. The walls of the watchtower are 27 cm wide, the balcony 40 cm and the roof 42 cm. The building is 62 cm high. As you can see in the...
