Whilst looking for something My 12t Halftrack could pull around I happened across this beast.

Then I saw a camouflage painted one and the 'Oh shiny!' gene kicked in.
No build photos but this is how it ended up:

The wheel units are pretty basic and are missing all the detail regarding brakes, cables, hoses and the such. The soft plastic tyres are just a tiny bit to large and needed all kinds of glue to get them to stay put!

The larger platform with the mesh stows away under transport, the railing folding down. Just not an in this kit. the stowage place is there, you jut can fold the rail- Could I have scratched it. probably. The two 'steps' should also have an open mesh but dont. they do fold though. (or should if some tw*t had not got glue on the FOUR PARTS FOR THE HINDGE!)

Hr. Grübber posing in front of the wheels- Did I mention it was big! The black thing sticking out from under the platform is a pair tweezers holding the platform up. There is no fixing mechanism to hold the dollies to the platform so it falls down all the time.

Comments Welcome

That’s a huge bang stick Ian. Extremely well executed as well.

Too long for the shelf Tony lol.

As I find more info, I might just scratch the missing details and find a way to keep the wheels on!
