Hello everyone, my name is Chris. I am building a tank factory which will have three Hetzer tanks in various building phases. The building is a kit from Germany by Modellbau. It is of MDF material. An overhead crane is included. Finished painting walls and flooring.

So I finished applying a simulated concrete paste over the wood on the load bearing beam/posts and weathered it. Nothing is glued…just test fit. Next I will finish painting the crane and doors.

Adding plugs to equipment

The plugs are pretty big so I cut them down.

 

[Down Time]

Outstanding!!

The walls, benches, air compressor, heavy machinery have been glued down. Going to make a rack for the compressor hose. Waiting on some German decals to affix to the machinery and doors.

Going to use spare idler wheel as a hose reel. Paint it up and mount it on the wall.

 

[Former1]

Nah…

didn't like the idler wheel reel idea so I went with something simpler.

I liked the use of the idler wheel as it probably would have been used in the factory. Never mind. Pantherman

 

[Former1]

I did too but it just didn't look right on the wall.

Looks fine, wheel would have been a nice touch, but this looks more "practical".
