I just realised you can't see it all together in its splendor the side armour can be added or removed and still have to build the armour for the other side

Tank looks great. Like all the little details and the tracks in particular.

Awesome work LDD! great to see a post with actual pictures, the mini tank destroyer isn't too bad either

I built something not too dissimulator in shape some time ago, it's probably knocking around in a box somewhere still.

Very nice, more pics!!!

about bloody well time to finally chuck out a product of your own!!!! blimey!
the tank is truly grot lovley sweet! the tracks look very good...I recently went for thicker PC for such details... but your thinner stuff looks way more fragile and even more convincing that way!...I am wondering if there is a subliminal message hidden there?...looks like grot writing there...

cant really tell if it is based on a Russian or an American tank... but these two are my guesses...hmmm....

how did you do all these washers and nuts?... they look premade? I want them too.....

now... not to have you with too much smugness left due all the praise...how long since we see some lick of paint there?...

Excellent work LDD, seriously cool. Reminds me of a mini Jagdpanther

Thanks for the praise guys

The tracks were an absolute pain to be honest several kinds of tubing, punches, plastic putty and a hell of a lot of stress, I was actually going to use some 1/48 scale tank wheels but thought what the hell make my own.

Noodle you need to dig out the tank me want to see that one I have dug out some of my old ones to take another crack at making them look better.

The pre made rivets and bolts are our very own Zinge Industries resin sprue which I have to say are bloody marvelous, however the small ones although very nicely detailed can easily disappear into the carpet, I have found a technique to help with this using black tac to stick the nut to it while you trim of the stem sprue.

I am disappointed it was based on the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer back to the drawing board I guess then come on paint I have only just got back on the horse for god sake baby steps mate baby steps

Dam you me but glad you guessed don't feel so bad now

Just one other pic to give you an idea of scale, the grey one is the FW one obviously .......

funny... a brit making german tanks...I always try to make british looking tanks

after taking a look at google I have to say you nailed the tank type look to a T... no need to change a thing here!... should have been obvious to me due to the gun at least...

thanks for pointing out that it is a zinge product... how diod you glue all these lil ones to the tanks surface then? zinge does resin right?... that means super glue?... what kind of method do you use to get multitudes of tiny parts on the tank then?...glue an area with super glue and then add the part or drop of glue to the part and then on to the tank?...

German armour rocks sorry but it does you guys had the coolest looking vehicles in WW2 Although Maxminis WW2 Yank Orcs look pretty dam cool

I use the dob of superglue on a scrap piece of plastic card and a new very sharp X-ACTO knife to gently stab, dip and place method, same thing with the plastic rod bolts but obviously liquid plastic glue instead.

Just one thing Don't use the cutting mat for blobbing liquid plastic glue on it takes of the markings and turns the glue green hence the spots of green in the pics

Ok, I'm confused.....it's not been a year already has it

Great work dog....that's an awesome little piece of armour. Nice job with the tracks

That's a really great tank LDD.

Well dont expect too much next year then

Da Grotz Panzer corps! Nice work there LDD! Me likey!

OK its that time of year a little update well I have been working on several things of late but nothing finished ( no surprise there ) however I got even more sidetracked with being offered a commission job ( yes surprised me as well ).

Any way Jim from "Models and Minis" http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/616158.page asked me if I would be interested in making him an Orc driver, so I said I would give it go so here is some of the WIP pics so far.
Check out the Grot plane and tanks if you're a green fan and the IG stuff some nice conversion parts I know I have a few pieces myself

Bottom pic is Spellcrow head with hair added just to show scale

That's really good LDD, the proportions looks suitably orky ... looks like a real road warrior .

Shiny. That's a superb start.

You got the inspiration then

Thanks guys done a little more but not much still trying to fill him out a bit

Ok been a while but thought I would add these :

Doing these for James again at MAM for some Grot bombs, not finished yet best you get the idea ......

?????????wut??????


Cool looking facesculpts....will they be available somewhere? Also...welcome back, thought you'd be a ghost or or something...

Hello old friend

Still lurking around yes they will be evetually when I get them finished and posted.

It's for Models and Minis he has a thread on here, he makes some scratch built kits which I bought a few of and he asked me if I fancied doing some sculpting for him so I gave it a go

These will be heads and shoulders only as they are for a grot bomb launcher he is making, check them out

Those grot heads look hilarious great work You should really sculpt more.

Great tanks and Ork LDD....

And the Grot heads....

I am trying to sculpt more but finding the time is a nightmare always something needs doing, plus I ain't as talented as you noodle
The way you crank it out just amazes me plus you can paint, scratch build, sculpt and 3D sculpt god I hate you

Thanks Sanka nice to see you back with us your thread popped back up so dropped by, notice your still tinkering with well everything you little mek you

Holy cow! I love that feeling when I find a new blog that includes some plasticard mastery; all that white card is somehow really exciting. Great grot tanks, dude, and also some fantastic green stuff work on that driver's legs.

I'm gonna have to have a trawl back through the rest of your blog to see what I've missed!

Man, those grot tanks are simply brilliant.

EDC

Thanks guys I try

Ok not much to show but something at least, must say the bike is not mine but a guy who does produce some rather nice stuff from eBay ......

Anyway I needed a rider and so I used the rider that got casted for M&M, I did a little alteration here and there and came up with this still WIP but you see where it is going.

It's a present for my Nephews 21st as he loved my orks and that bike model, but don't tell him .......

Looking good that bike, i'm sure your nephew would be chuffed! i would be
