HL-10 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Dragon's 1/6th scale type82 Kubelwaggen. I built this some years ago for a magazine review. Due to it's size I had to put it away in the loft where I rediscovered it today. It needed some repairs, and I've lost the passenger side mirror/indicator. When I built it I added a loads of extra detail as it was very simplified, and toy like. I rebuilt the poorly moulded floor grid out of wooden drink stirers and rebuilt tool and weapon clasps out of wire and plastic. The weapons and personal gear comes from various manufacturers. So now fixed, it's back into the loft as I have no where else to put it! Thanks for looking Angelo. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You could always move the car out and park it in the garage It looks really good and I especially like the personal weapons. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Exactly, how big is your loft? Please sell it to someone who will appreciate it. I was buying your story until I saw the helmet in one of the photos. The detail of the liner puts the helmet on it's own as model. Honestly if you don't appreciate the model sell or give it to someone who does. I will happily take it off your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 It's not a case of "not appreciating" the model, I do, very much. I worked hard to achieve the finished product. I just don't have the room to have it on permanent display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
