"Grim Reapers in 6mm - Vomag style" Topic

Guys,

My buddy Dave H. has been up to something, and maybe with sinister intentions, but you tell me……

Dave writes: The subjects of this batch, the Panzer IV/70 (A) was born from earlier German attempts to place the 7.5 cm L/70 into a Panzer IV turret. The design simply reused a modified Vomag Panzer IV/70 (V) superstructure (armed with the 7.5 cm L/70 gun) and placed it on a standard Panzer IV tank chassis. The result was a much taller and heavier vehicle than the Panzer IV/70 (V) version. In theory, this would have sped up the whole production process, but in reality, only a small number were built by the end of the war.

Nice.

That's some great painting.

Hi FlyXwire!

Another excellent vignette by your friend, Dave H.! Some very nice details on both the vehicles and the background scene in what looks to be a cemetery.

I painted the Jagdpanzer IV/70A for the GHQ catalog a few years back and have some of my own that I need to paint. My German Tank Encyclopedia says that Alkett produced 278 vehicles from August 1944 until March 1945. This is a pretty low production number compared to the Vomag versions.

Pete, thanks for clearing up my thread title.

Dave's "A" models here, as he describes, are of the Alkett produced variant.

I can't recall seeing his graveyard base in a game before, but he's always got lots of eye candy to take in!

Great minis, great terrain!

I do not know of what to be amazed by in the first place: the tanks or the graves? Very good diorama!
