Hi Freddie! Wow that's cool. I didn't know they were making them so inexpensive now either. It was just a matter of time I suppose. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Here's two of masters for the Panther ammo.

and here's the first proto StuG ammo box.

Green Painted Panther box

The ammo will include all case and projectile markings for the specific ammo type. Should have photos by the end of this week.

Hi All

I'm having fun with this little side project that has much become bigger then I originally intended. All casings and projectiles are in the mold and while I wait I created the artwork for the labels. There will be one at each end and also on the inside. These were based off originals and main text will match the ammo within the box. I'm not 100% sure of the codes but tried to match what will be on the ammo casings as best I could.

The scale is micro so photos aren't that great.

regards
Tim

Work in progress

Here's my first attempt at applying the markings on the casings and projectiles. Sorry for the poor quality pictures, I kinda rushed it.

Panther Ammo

I've seem both white tip and no white tip versions. I have both available.

The tips on these will be silver

Spent Casings (each type has specific markings on the base)

Quite a collection there!

Nice is a pity word to describe them...

Tim, you are good at this!
I am glad to have you among us in this hobby.

Thanks Kent and Antony. I really appreciate it.

Antony, thanks for the interest. I am waiting to get the Tiger I boxes completed to take nice photos of each set to post with the prices. Should be very soon.
Here's a close up of the casing markings.

Thanks again
Tim

Hi Tim, superb workmanship again, I do not know how you can build a model and work at a tangent with all these other projects, what ever you are taking, send me some
regards
Jeff

Thank you Jeff.

I'll tell you what I'm drinking as soon as you tell me what you are drinking to make such excellent parts out of metal!

You'll notice I havn't spent any time on my Tiger recently. That is going to change immediately now that I have the ammo boxes and ammo somewhat under control. I'm afraid Kent's Panther progress will pass me up at the rate I'm going.

For anyone interested, ammo and case prices posted under "Craftsman Section"
