Nice to hear from you again. Thanks for those pics as they are ones I do not have ! The first one especially is fantastic. It is hard to find pics of that limber that are so clear. I see from that pic I made a few mistakes. It is always true when you build something as soon as you are finished you find the perfect reference ! LOL I will have to build another now and make it so it can be put in molds and make copies of. The problem with the kit you bought is I think they used an earlier mark of the limber. Those limbers changed at least 3 times I can see from the pics beginning in the late 1930s up till 1945. I think I have the wheel done pretty close now and it has the wider look you are looking for. I got out my old resin and found that the 2 gallons I had from years ago when I closed my little business had gone bad. I had to throw them out ! Exoensive mistake. I ordered some new resin. Now I have to see if my old set of vagabond RTV is still good. Hope so. That was even more expensive!
Anyway thanks for those excellent pics. Do you have any more like the first one ?
I found my old old mold I made of the master pattern for the wheel. After I received some inexpensive resin in the mail I cast a new wheel. Now I do not have to scratchbuild another wheel! Whew.
The 105mm limber get pretty weathered after being rolled through Earl Scheibs’ paint shed.
Now I will add all the plethora of stowage these things always seemed to carry.
Looking very nice! Particularly like the steel outer part of the wheel like how there are some small worn parts and dints that really make it look lifelike!
Thanks Sam for the kind words.
I began altering a Riich horse from walking to standing pose. The muscles will be changed next. I think Riich did the best job so far replicating the standard German harness.
