German half track

German half track build
This was a big pain in the bum to build
I built the whole thing , painted it then decided the back part was to high , so cut it down and repainted it.
I had sloped the sides all the way up , it didn’t look right , so I changed it to straight sided then sloped at the top, repainted it.
Then the bonnet looked to have to big a slope so I cut it down and repainted it,
Then decided the slope of the bonnet was still to high so cut it down and repainted it.
Eventually it came out as I wanted it.
Hope you like it as I will never be making another...

Stunning work Dean! well worth all the changes! it looks great!

Great work ..it looks so good

But how much does it weigh !?!? It looks very heavy

awesome work

That’s incredible wooden building work that you’v created a German half track.

Impressive effort! Your dedication to detail, scale, and simply making things "look right" is impressive. I certainly would not have that level of patience.

Fun series of photos of the halftrack and crew "in action."

Thanks mate
It’s not too heavy , it’s only thin ply , Although you wouldn’t want to drop it on your foot.....

Thanks for the comments ...
I’m glad t looked right in the end ... I really should spend more time planning things ,
I just get up one morning and think , right I’m going to make a. Half rack , and make it up as I go along
Obviously I had a few photos as a guide , but that’s as far as planning goes ..
I wish I had planned this a bit better as I made a lot of mistakes .... but I enjoyed building it ..

Looks absolutely marvelous. Well worth the effort.

Knowing your previous form though, I must inquire:
You're not going to burn it are you ....?
