matti64 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Really impressive. Liberation from the tyranny of kits. Once you've finished your first scratchbuild, you realise that anything is possible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave N Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Super impressive. One day when I've got the hang of building kits without destroying them I will try a bit of scratch building... Excellent work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well known by Märklin, Fleischman and Trix. Lots of cars, trucks an buildings are also made in this scale. Roco (Herpa mowdays) was big in this scale concerning military vehicles... For sure, brilliant model making! /André http://www.smallscalehobbies.com/minitanks-herpa-roco/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
