Hello Lacopo,

Thank you for your comment. I like doing everything as closely as possible to the original, but all it takes me very long time. Each door takes me one day.

Have a nice new week
Michal

Hello everybody,

I am sending a few photos of the completion of the rear panel with the towing complete. Most parts are made of aluminum, and any parts are made of fiber glass.

Hi Lacopo,

Thank you for your very nice comment. I looked your fantastic PANZER III and it is the best quality and the perfect camouflage. VERY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.
I finished the towing complete without the smallest details. After working on the doors it was the second most complicated part on my half-tracks. Only air connection is about 28 pieces. It was too many hours in my workshop.

Have a nice sunday

Michal

And this is the final version of towing complete with the lubrication points in grey colour. I was starting to paint the halftrack. The left side is the first.

Hello Paul and Simon,

I am pleased when I get a compliment from such masters as you two. I am trying to make the most of the details by the real, but it's very long time in my worshop and I have to go as most also to my office to work.

Have a nice evening

Michal

WOW! A work truly spectacular! :shock:
With what material you're making the maquette? And then at the end you realize it with the brass or other material?
Keep it up! :wink:
Ciao,
Iacopo
