"Nsl Goliath & Mammut take 2" Topic

Hello again all,
Posted new pics of work in progress.
Please do give feedback.
I'm thinking should I put covers on the top part of the tracks or not ?

Wow Z that's pretty slick…I agree the rear door is too high. I like the chunky feel to them and the track system. Are you planning on a combatwombat turned barrel? Or is that a stump gun like the stug3 assault gun? The top covers for the tracks are a good idea… do u mean like Schrutzen side skirts also circa stug3-4 etc?

Overall I like this whole concept! Please keep posting updates

Thanks for the feedback Twoball.
Still not decided on the barrel,might go plastic plug way like on my chieftain ( castrarunis.blogspot.com/2014/02/using-176th-172nd-kits-for-15mm.html)or leave it short ( sort of a missile launcher barrel,like a tank mounted gustav)

By track top guards , I mean the plates where the crew can walk on without getting thrown off by the moving tracks.

the gw , WWI gothic trac is over done . the LVT style is very nice though and the low turret is cool

Thanks for the feedback Ming31,
So you would suggest LVT style with side doors or LVT style with only rear access door and lower tracks? Which would make the more sense ? Any ideas anyone.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

My cal is lvy style , rear door only with the cool turret . it give a cleaner look . and it looks like it would be easier to cast . It would not hurt if it fell in some rtv .

Ming31,
" My cal is lvy style " , didn't quite understand this, please explain.
As others have suggested before,the GW style has been overused & come to think of it , it might only look nice on a tank destroyer like vehicle.(have to try this also).

Originally I envisaged my NSL as having large slab like vehicles designed to show military might & strike fear in the heart of their enemies.Now I have revisited the design with a lower profile.

Would appreciate any more ideas.
Thanks
