I’m sure you have all read the Question and Answer section of past FSMs right? Well, a couple months ago, I (Anthony Wan) had a question in there about building a 1/16 or larger M88 Recovery Vehicle from the AFV Club 1/35 kit. Well, that’s not working too well. I can’t seem to find a place to start. I have a basic idea of what I want in mind, but don’t know how best to approach the project. Here’s what I want the finished product to look like.
Click on this link, it’s a German website, so don’t expect to be able to read it.
Now, scroll down the left sid links bar to the “modelle” button.
Scroll down the new page to the one that says “Bergepanzer 2 “Büffel” in 1:16”
Now, enjoy the pretty pictures and then tell me how I’, supposed to go about building something like that.
I want to have a moving dozer blade, and crane arm. Some working lights, and suspension. That’s basically all…unless…I could put a full interior in there…nah! maybe later, first the ACTUAL VEHICLE!!
I have no experience whatsoever in large scale R/C vehicles, only a couple store-bought kits.
While on that website, look in the “Galerie” There’s a lot of what looks to be R/C armored vehicle “dioramas” They have actual mud, sand and water set up in a large “Super-diorama”. All of those checkpoint gates, garage lights work!!! Check out all that detail!!!
