i like the model and the exhausts, very clever, regards simon.

Heiko that is really cool flame effects on exhaust! Great work and fine details on your P4. One question, will the small lettering hold up on the rubber tires under RC motion? Seems like track horns would knock them off easy? Great details - look forward to see combo gun turret, flak turret. Best regards,
Bob

I built the Wirbelwind Tower of poly but is not quite ready

[Heiko Sattler]

Hi men continue in my building report

The tower is not finished yet, here and there still a few clichés are missing but an end is in sight. I have built the tower in two halves so I always childishly approach all parts you never know.
The tower itself is built of 1cm thick poly and thus megastar and light weight with technology the whole tower weighs just 3.5 kg
The original tower of Armortek is made of aluminum but weighs 12 kg:

Der Wirbelwind Turm ist jetzt auch Fertig hier die Bilder

[Heiko Sattler]

Slowly I am finished with the construction of my Panzer IV. Technology is also in it, and it goes to the painting. Here are a few final pictures before color comes

Today I have shot my vierlingsflak
Luckily, there was no pipe cremator or loading inhibitor

Wirbelwind 1/6 gun Test

Hi Heiko, just superb!
If you could pipe some of the smoke you are producing up those barrels using maybe bellows to produce a pulsing effect it would be ( with a little clever editing ) totally convincing, i just love it, keep up the good work .
Now I'm thinking that I should keep my quad flak and do something similar , what would your price be to convert our 2cm quad ?
Regards festive Phil

Hi guys

Now comes slowly color in the game the casters are after almost a week finished here a few preliminary pictures of the tanks is at least primed

[Heiko Sattler]

I wanted to show a Panzer IV, which after the damage in the field by (for example, mine hit) was led back into the Nibelungenwerk, which was converted there to the commandant.
According to Walter J. Spielberger, command posts were only changed from the damaged P.IV, so all reconstructions and parts in rust protection have been met, especially since the material and time constraints at the end of the war had to go quickly.
At the camouflage I decided for a classic three-color camouflage.

The rollers are pre-finished. The tank itself has so far only a basic wash. And 100,000 small scratches. With such a chunk everything takes a little longer. Alone for the scratches I have used 1 week. So I still have a lot of work before me. But you can see where the trip goes. Enough written here a few pictures

Fabolous weathering Heiko

[Graham Hough]

Brilliant work, I am looking forward to seeing the finished version. Excellent.

[Heiko Sattler]

Continue with the exhaust pots, they should look as if by the heat in part the color peeled off. And to which the oxidation begins. They are not quite finished yet.
