Text of the page (random words):
frontkämpfer frontkämpfer remembering the german soldiers of both world wars and their equipment with special emphasis placed upon the ostfront both factual and fantastic wednesday 18 february 2015 an old project returns the monstrosity from the front way back in 2011 i posted my plans for an improvised tank killer on an old 38 t chassis following a move of house it was boxed and retired recent reading has kindled my interest in the royal hungarian army often belittled these troops fought bravely against the red army and others for nearly four years their equipment was in short supply and what they had was often second rate however they fought right until the end of the war the final stages spent defending what little of their country was unoccupied and then retreating west now the honvedseg was equipped with domestic and foreign afvs in 1942 a good number of panzers 38 t were provided by germany the magyars had a distinct lack of anti tank capability and thus are prime candidates for using my frankenstein vehicle cobbled together from an old tank chassis and a salvaged f34 cannon sourced from a t34 76 the vehicle will lend some much needed punch to my nascent honved platoon side elevation i am intending to use various warlord plastic sets for the infantry soviet winter and german both early and late converting as needed i will be using a few woodbine m16 ww1 turkish heads to add a bit of variety these helmets were in use for the duration of the conflict by germany also in addition i will be sculpting the odd moustache i find the easiest way to do this is with heavily thinned squadron green putty as my usual epoxy never adheres wip commader he ain t got no time for the monkey business the commander szazados frigyes higany is nearly finished and tank needs some bits added not least the foul weather tarp but this may be added to the spray queue soon posted by ritter von krautheim at 05 58 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 28mm conversions honvedseg modelling oddballs saturday 7 february 2015 part 1a panzerbefehlswagen 740 r after taking a pause it became glaringly obvious that the aerial had to go the t26 kit is an absolute dog but i couldn t justify the over scale antenna by such reasoning after all i am attempting to make something good toothpick is a spacer until the epoxy dries i prised off the already glued aerial amazing how resilient super glue is when you don t want it to be and removed the tree trunk supports i have made a new frame from thin brass rod and need to visit my local unfriendly model shop for some appropriately sized styrene rod other bits of stowage have been added along with an unditching log still to come is some gap filling and the soft stowage both achieved with a mixture of epoxy putties also i have a bit of chain that will look quite good when artfully draped now time for a coffee and bath posted by ritter von krautheim at 04 30 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 28mm conversions imagineering oddballs vehicles beutepanzer friday 6 february 2015 upcycling a question of command nice shot of a panzerbefehlswagen i with the new year has come substantial resolve both to get fit well less unfit and to get some of the long considered projects completed i spent most of my january free time improving a diecast panzer iv toy more of which in another post however this left me needing a command vehicle for my kampfgruppe as can be seen frame antennae come in different shapes now i could have gone for a bog standard command vehicle like an sdkfz 250 or 251 but i wanted something different and with a frame aerial i like the look of the panzerbefehlswagen i but couldn t find one online and also didn t fancy forking out for another model thus i decided to think outside the box and produce something unique a quick trip to the loft produced a rather nasty t26 bought from an ebay seller it was warped and the track units are different lengths both being too short it cost me very little and i suspect it is a knock off so i didnt mind chopping it up the solution to my problem came to me at about 05 00 today after the nitrazepam wore off i would create a beute befehlswagen after a day of tinkering bending and sanding i present the panzerbefehlswagen 740 r figures for size reference this monster was cobbled together in an unidentified workshop at the request of an officer short of a mount he didn t wish to waste a gun tank so had his men create a custom vehicle from parts the aerial from a scout car the cupola from a written off panzer iii and some sheet steel cut from a destroyed hanomag all these mixed with some ingenuity and the command vehicle was born rudimentary mg port shown as can be seen it is not finished needing tidying up filling sanding and more detailing also it is far from perfect having an overscale antenna however any thinner and i think it would be prone to breakage during a game the supports will be replaced as they look like tree trunks rear hatch and home cast stowage boxes the track units have i hope been disguised and a coat of gunk will help this process further the lucky commander is already modelled and just needs to be seated in his cupola and then this should be ready for the spray booth it will be in soviet green and panzergrau with a winter over paint making it usable for almost the whole war i am currently deciding which technique should be used to portray chipped and worn whitewash anyway i am pretty happy and hope this

vehicles marder iii sunday 4 january 2015 new stugs for old i don t like christmas faux festive cheer crusty celebrities and depressing decorations amazing little books beautifully produced that said this year the lady wife gifted me two fantastic books by adh to add to the library the thin but fact filled tomes detail stugs from bagration to berlin full of informative text photos and colour profiles they are a boon to the enthusiast i have long been of the opinion that almost anything goes when it comes to stugs and perusing the images shows myriad variations now about ten years ago i bought one of tamiya s 1 48 stug iii b kits great kit but it got worked on boxed and shelved two house moves and three children later it was an abandoned project then these books gave me an idea resurrect the beast and produce an endkampf oddity to my amazement i found most of the bits in the attic not the hatch this will be made from plastic sheet epoxy concrete armour and sight aperture as can be seen the project is nowhere near completion however the beast is taking shape concrete armour heavy stowage and fender damage is in place hatches running gear armament aluminium stuk 40 in topfblende and a bit more clutter to add rear view showing stowage etc a commander will be peering out of the hatch trying to spot the rapidly approaching ivans this project has cost me very little and feels like a freebie this makes it even more appealing yes i paid for the kit but after a decade it doesn t count posted by ritter von krautheim at 13 16 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 20 june 2014 mystery vehicle as discussed on tmp i saw this beast on a very poor documentary concerning nazi cows or some such nonsence the clip is very short perhaps 2 seconds long however the vehicle sd kfz 10 can be seen and the armament is not a german pak36 38 or 40 the shield suggests that it is soviet as does the lack of muzzle break the cannon barrel is just visible in the last half second i am sure it is another of the numerous field conversions seen so often but if anyone has more details i would be very interested posted by ritter von
