Lately I have found it more convenient to post build progresses on facebook, since I have many non-paper model building friends that are not on this forum. This build is one I just completed and posted progress there.
I decided I did not want to have folks on here miss out that otherwise would so I'll share my pictures. As far as the build goes, this model builds up nicely and is rather robust except for one part - the articulating joint. I think this could be designed differently and more robustly. I had a breakage there near the end of the build caused by a curious grandson. Though I was able to repair and finish the model, I don't feel as though I can display it for any length of time without additional support.
Anyway, some history first: This is a "what-if" livery of a real life prototype Raumer S minenraumer. It is a 130 ton dual engine articulated beast intended for mine clearing duties. It was too slow, so only one prototype was ever built.
The allies captured it at the end of the war from its storage facility but it is unknown what ever became of it. Most likely it was scrapped.
