Tamiya Famo with trailer

[Jogy]

I't's a big model even in scale ...

The box was a present last year for my birthday and put in the closet for better days. In 2011 I started to complete a lot of ongoing projects, that for various reasons were never completed. My work turned the desk finally empty enough for the trailer and Famo.

The box is very well filled with sprues and other components. On PMMS is more to find what's in the box.

I have also some aftermarkets sets for this kit from Aber.

After collecting various books and information on the internet I started working on this project. I have a book from WWP and the Nuts & Bolts 12, so enough information for detailling this kit.

Now some pictures from my work in progress ...

And a bit more details ...

This for now, hope you like it.

The Sd.Kfz. 9 is one of my favorites. I still have a second kit in my stash for TMD's crane.

Nice start and already some nice details on the engine there
also glad to hear that there are more than me who have unfinished projects cluttering the buildarea!

Awesome!!...Can't wait to see progress on this one.

Are you planning on using resin wheels? I would recommend it, as I have personally seen the vinyl kit tires disintegrate over time.

Any thoughts on a load for the trailer?

(I mean, like...who doesn't own this kit?)

Another raised hand...not sure I will tackle another halftrack. Just too much you have to do to make it right.

Great start Johanna!

Raised hand No famo here

but

Am very much looking forward to watching this one being built up

 

[Jogy]

Thanks to you all for the nice support. I do have also the Famo without trailer in stash and lucky enough I have still enough space after a visite to Germany (Modelbau Koenig and the new Sockelshop, where some of my work is showed.)

What will be on the trailer .... I don't know, because I'm a person how makes a lot of ideas but has problems with concentration and finishing work, so I do step by step and the future will learn and show what happends with this project.

So please stay tuned, more will come

Johanna

 

[reconron]

[modelguru]

[Jogy]

Hi,
Thanks!

I have a small update because it goes slow, live is not that fun at the moment, so the building proces is also going very slow.

But I have some pictures which shows the wheel test. This part is ready for painting, but when I will start with that, I don't know.

The pictures.

This for now, till later!
Johanna

 

[jknaus]

[Bagge]

know the feeling, hope it soon gets better nice build so far!

 

[Jogy]

Thanks, it will take some time to feel better, but I still have some energy for the build and started with the tracks.
I goes slow but that isn't important.
