Modified Trident Bergepanther & two Famos (Alsacast & Wespe) recovering a Herpa Sturmtiger in a mountain pass in 1/87 scale using Preiser & ROCO figs
C&Cs encouraged. PaulE.
You're always welcome Scottie. Hope this turns out OK, lots of gardening to do & the 4, maybe 5 automotive pieces have to be finished as well. I have a crowd of Preiser civies I hope to use as crew, riggers & diggers. PaulE
Some background. Herpa Sturmtiger's hitch was small bump in plastic. Had to scratch one to accept B&T clevis. Had to scratch cable end sturdy enough to support B&T tension.
Modified Trident "naked" (no winch-no spade) Bergepanther to Flak Bergepanther w/extension of hitch to prevent fouling of B&T on tracks.
Wespe rear & Alsacast front hitches reworked to accept ROCO tow bar & drop pins.
Rear Alsacast hitch replaced w/drop pin modified ROCO hitch.

Made one mellofahess in one corner of the mancave, but think I'm done foam carving. Now for the gluing & plastering before the painting.
C&Cs welcomed. PaulE
Looking the "Dogs" Paul, your progress so far is commendable. Can't beat '87 scale for getting big things done in a small space, moggel on meistro. Rick H.
Some base progress.
The last forty figs have been swallowed up as replacements elsewhere, so here's another batch. Some more replacements & the riggers, diggers, & crews for this project.
C&Cs encouraged. PaulE
You gotta love this scale to want to do that many figs. at one time. I get bleary eyed just looking at them! It's easy to visualize the loss of an armoured vehicle in that type of terrain. Will you muddy it up to show that the sure footed Sturmie got a little too close to the edge or perhaps blown off in an ariel or artillary bombardment? Looks good so far can't wait to see the gardening. Rick H.
Thanks Rick. It's lots more fun if you do all the gear they normally carry. Because these'll be working crew, their stuff will be in their vehicles, so they're pretty boring. I'm going with a final drive failure that put it over the edge cause I don't wanna carve more foam. PaulE
