    Thank you folks. Yes, it is a lot, but not all, just the potential Dornot dio US. The Med. Tank & Tank Destroyer Cos., Transportation & Maint./Recovery Platoons, and Artillery elements not shown are for other WWII US projects. Many are still WIP.

        Paul,
        Thanks for posting. As always I am impressed by the sheer volume of your efforts. Still looking for Corbitts for the Eberle inspired Clamshell and Shovel projects I want to do as I was watching your quarry efforts back when you were in MM.:thumb2:

            Good for you Paul.
            Loads of work, but will have loads of appeal.

              Thank you gentlemen. Rick, if looking for 1/87, they are still available through they who import ROCO or Herpa products as well as evilbey (generally cheaper than importers). I paid $10 + shipping last year for one. PaulE

                A couple pics of WWII German WsIP units & unit elements. The majority of kettens, swimmers & kubels are in bits being upgraded.

                A lot of semi-scratched & conversions are visible. The original idea was a small kampfgroup of various platoon sized elements, but as you can see mission creep took over. PaulE

                          Paul,
                          Thanks for the closer ups!
                          Really like the pioneer trailers, WIKING perhaps? What was the base model for the trailer behind the MB4500 in the second shot? Same question for the generator trailer in the third shot. Great stuff!

                              You're welcome Rick. I don't remember what they originally were, but yes they are Wiking based. I think the large genny trailer was based on the rear third of a ROCO MB 4500 firetruck. The truck towing it was originally a ROCO MB 4500 ladder truck. The ROCO MB 3ton firetruck & pump trailer model was the basis I used for ambulances, radio & telephone switchboard vans & small genny trailers. The ROCO firetrucks were & are less expensive new & used than comparable trucks in this scale, very well detailed.
                              Thanks Peter.
