World War 2 Tanks, Halftracks, Jeeps...everything.

Hi there, it's PhiMa, your local CABG WWIItard. I know I haven't posted much stuff over here in a while, so I'll just go ahead and make one HUGe topic with everything in it.

Marder III Ausf. H (German Mobile Artillery)


Snow Camouflage PzKpfw VI Ausf. G 'Tiger I' SdKfz 181 (German Heavy Tank)


StuG III Ausf. F8 (German Tank Destroyer/Assault Gun)


BMW 325 (Einheits PKW, SdKfz 3) (German Jeep)


Kettenkraftrad (German...Motorcycle Halftrack thingy )


PzKpfw II Ausf. C (German Infantry tank, Africa Camo)


M4A3E8 Sherman Battle Tanks (American Medium battle tanks)

(That Fancy-Shmancy Front slope was designed by RumRunner on Flickr)

Mark III Valentine Cruiser Tank (A15) (British Cruiser Tank, Africa Camo)


SdKfz 250 (German Halftrack, Africa Camo)

(These are for the people who have no WWII Knowledge. ) Enjoy! And yes, these are all built at the same time.

Whoa PhiMa! Your building skills never cease to amaze me, I love them all! I especially like the detail you integrated into the tanks.

Great work here!

I love them all! Keep us updated on your builds!

Remove tires and treads and add repulser lifts = win!

Is that a 1x4 tan grill on the Sherman?

I'm really loving the attention to detail here. Overall, I would give it a 4.9 out of 5, just because the tracks on the Valentine tank are brown, which seems odd. Great job!

So many tanks. :3 You make me really jealous.

LOL! Now that would be an epic win! Don’t forget the bley, gray, black, and white on those desert camo ones

Outstanding work PhiMa! The detail is first class.

(In best Homer voice) Mmmmmm........... tanks.......... *drools*

All I have to say. Wow.

I can not even begin to explain what I would like to explain about your awesomeness at building tanks, trucks, and other vehicles used in WWII!!! That is all...

Hey, Phi, can you add your armies to the pictures?

All great but I really like the American tanks the most.

Nice job Phima. The Shermans are my favorites, the techniques you used are inexplicably made. Very nice job.

One question, do you keep everything you make, or after you take pictures is it scrapped for parts for another?

This picture is about 9 months old (I hope to take a new one sometime this month...) but you get the point. Yes, every vehicle I build is kept in one piece.

Thanks everyone!

Man, for a German, you don't seem to be shamed by your history. I thought that Germans didn't like to talk about the war.

...Nope. We understand that it's what happened, but it shouldn't be forgotten. If we were to deny it happening, to not talk about it, we'd be just as bad as the Nazis. Sadly there are still enough people who believe Hitler did the right thing (Thankfully only a small minority of the german people)

It's a History lesson. We can only learn

Bump$. Nice tanks. How did you make the brownings* in the shermans?



$ yes, i know it's wrong.

* I'm that good.
