A “Paper Panzer” hence it existed only on paper though some sources say a hull was found in the closing days of WW2 for it. The Panzerkampfwagen VII Löwe (Lion in English) was designed to have the L/70 high velocity gun and a 1,000 horsepower Maybach engine.
Plastic and wooden models made by me with over 80+ builds posted here. Be sure to click on “Older Posts” near the bottom of each page. All armor/military models are 1/35 scale, F1 cars are 1/12, aircraft are 1/48, submarines are 1/350 and wooden models in various scales. After a 40+ year hiatus I am trying to hone my skill sets as best I can while having fun. It’s been a very steep learning curve after being “out of the water” for decades!

French Char 2c
Largest tank by volume ever to reach production. Had a crew of 12 but was too late to see action in WWI. By the beginning of WW2 it was hopelessly outclassed. Number 92 Picardie broke down due to a mechanical and was captured by the Germans. It’s fate is unknown but presumably scrapped. This is the 1/35 scale Meng kit with tailskid kit added.

Le Hussard
Plank on frame wooden ship model of the 1848 Le Hussard by Artesania Latina. First wooden kit I ever made back in the ‘80’s. Somehow it survived four major cross state moves in one piece.
Maine Peapod Lobster Boat
Model by Midwest. Unique tapered hull at either end permitted the lobster boat for gaining access to tight rocky areas of the Maine coast.
Seabright Dory Lifeboat
Wooden boat model of the Seabright Dory by Midwest. Lapstrake hull construction and used by lifeguard stations. They are now made out of fiberglass.
