Shaun,
yes, they are as accurate as possible. The cannon is modeled on a German ww2
50mm PAK anti-tank gun and does actually have working suspension for recoil
and ejects the empty shells out of the breech :)....the machine guns are just
as close as I could get to belt fed MG's...and as youve noticed now"grin" I
get references from modeling sites on the net....I used to build a great deal
of model tanks when I was a teenager...Lego has resparked my passion....expect
the street scene to increase in size, and many many more tanks, half tracks,
etc are on the way :).
DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY LEGO HAT THAT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR A GERMAN WW2
HELMET???
Please help me.
I can feel a room sized diorama coming on!!!!

| Carl, Brilliant work. I've made a fairly cool Panther tank (lotsa slopes), but need some tracks. Where did you get yours? Also, the Vader helmet (with the mask & some of the bottom trimmed away) would make a very good stahlhelm. Kevin (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)

| For a German WWII helmet, you can custom make somthing that works pretty well. I cut down a motorcycle helmet, and one of the flare-necked castle helmets. Glue the bottom of the flare to the top of the motorcycle helmet, repaint, and you get (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars)
