My Sd.Kfz 7

[Paul Morris]

Hello Michal.

Why 7? SDKFZ 7 All very nice models and a great collection.
Cheers Paul.

[Michal Matata]

OK!

I will think about it. I will build 2 Sdkfz7, one with vierlink flak and the second will be Sdkfz 7/2 with 37mm flak. But my speed of the building is very low. Now I am finishing my private tank museum, because I don´t have space for my tanks and my workshop is too small.

Best regards

Michal

Hello everybody ,

I am finishing the work of the front wheels. I made the new hub and tire. Tire is made from special rubber. I made special looking on the hub as on the real machine.

Congratulations. I really enjoy your updates, each one bringing some new inspiration and showing real skills. Although some who have posted recently were talking rather bluntly about detail as an "obsessive, compulsive" disorder, your posts very powerfully make the case for the opposite point of view. I'm with you on this.

Thanks for showing us a range of skills and demonstrating that with a bit of imagination, anything is possible.

I'd enjoy the undoubted pleasure of assembling any Armortek model out of the box but I also get a huge amount of additional satisfaction from the research and the challenge of realising in miniature selected details which might enhance the overall model. In the process of doing the research, I've made friends in three continents.

Keep it coming, we love it.

stephen i think that sums it up, its allabout choice, but i do admire the skiil level and attention to detail this forum throws up, great build michal on your halftrack, could you post some info on the tyre production. regards simon manning.

Hello guys,

Thank you for the nice comentary. I had big problems to realise some details but these are the challenges that I'm trying to handle it for me, and I want to show that it is possible to do it. Sometimes I'm thinking, if it makes sense. It is a very very long time, that it is necessary to spend in my workshop. But on the other way, when I sit down to the finished model, I'm glad I've done it.

Have nice day.

Michal

About tires I will write next time.
