Hi Mike,

 

I will most likely scratch build one.  I am leaning toward a Tiger II or
maybe a Jagd Tiger/Panther.  The Tiger has more room but the Panther looks
better.  I have used 1/8th inch Syntra, blown PVC Sheet, and might use the ¼
inch which is what "Fields of Armor" uses.  Very strong and light weight.  It
can be strengthened in the drive areas with plywood.  I would have put EV
warriors in it, but they seem to have all been purchased by other tank
builders.  I have lots of 4 view drawings of most vehicles but would love to
find some real plans to take over to Kinko's for enlarging.

Any suggestions for good motors to replace the EVs that don't cost a ton of
dollars?  I am also looking at some sale paintabll guns that seem to be
pretty good based on the reviews.  Only $45 for a PMI Pirahna R6 or a Orion
Viewloader.  Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.  I will take all I can get.

John

John--  Are you looking for a kit or going to scratch build?  I've found a
number of free plans, or more correctly, 3 and 4-view line drawings from
which you could build a reasonably scale model from.  I plan to build a
Jagdpanther using this method.  I have been trying to find a paper (card)
model of the Jagdpanther in order to scale it up and create templates for the
flat plate sections.  The hull itself of wood, plexi/lexan or plastic sheet
could be built for very little money.  I know what you mean about the prices
asked for those models.  Awesome they may be in function as well as cost!   I
bought a decent used 911 a few years back for less than some of these models!


 

In any event, I have been scouring the internet of late searching for plans
and drawings I may have an Elefant drawing on the hard-drive.  I can post it
here if you like.  Your might also consider a Hummel if you're after a big
one.  I like the Maus myself:;  simple, striking and big.

 

Mike

        Thanks Mike,
         
         
         
        Some pretty awesome videos.  I want one, ust don't want to have to
pay that
        much to get one.  But, I could always spend the kids college fund and
tell
        them to get more scholarships.  :-)
         
        Thanks again,

        Here's a link to the Panzerworks site with videos.
        http://www.panzerworks.co.uk/movies.htm  There's a video of an
Elefant near
        the bottom.  Check out the one on the lower right entitled "Bangs".
