OK Dadio and myself have been busy making a new toy.
Just a couple of pics of the progress so far.
Gun shield needs fixing, Shell basket needs attaching and I have built the biggest magazine there is in the world for the 20mm shells, then a nice paint scheme camo
Flak 38 20mm
Scale just under 1:1
Does it fire??
Yes it does fitted with an AK gearbox and we are going to use 100rd Mid cap magazines so plenty of time for reloading.
When will it be ready?
3 weeks time taking it to Zero Bravos game San Marino so if there are any budding FJ gun crew who have not booked for a £25 Help 4 Heroes game Book it and come along!
Will update as and when
Awesome work as ever fella's! That really is fantastic!
looks very cool , dibs when you finished with
Cracking job Grommit
it's been hard not talking about it , such a relief it's out in the open , it just makes me laugh every time i look at it .it's been fun to make and a good division of labour between Hänschen klein and myself , it's also been fun using as much re cycled material as possible from bicycles to trampolines , she took her first faltering shots tonight so if you hear about any suspicious missing aircraft on the new's Mum's the word
here's the heart of frankengun's monster.

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
cant wait to see it finished and painted
Fantastic guys!
I guess I am in the wrong zug at San Marino .
On the other hand I am happy to be on the right side
Looks great, can't wait to see it finished.
Looks great, thought I heard some mutterings about this at Foy and there it is!
Now we just need the allies to build a plane to get shot down.
I've fired a bullet on every continent. Nearly hit someone, too.
Wow
Hope I never get infront of that. Amazing work guys
i seem to be the architect of my own doom as i'm booked on to San Marino as allied

Doh! Or you'll know its weaknesses..!? Can't get over how good it looks already chaps - always amazed by the ingenuity of the builders on this forum. You put some of the professional manufactures to shame!

“I wanted to come to the Volga at a specific location at a specific city. By chance it carries the name of Stalin himself. So don’t think I marched there for this reason – it could carry another name – but because there is a very important goal... this goal I wanted to take – and you know – we are very modest, we have it already."
Adolf Hitler, November 1942
"Comrades, Red Army men, commanders and political workers, men and women guerrillas! It is on your perseverance, staunchness, fighting skill and readiness to discharge your duty to the country that the defeat of the German-fascist army and the liberation of the Soviet land from the Hitlerite invaders depend! We can and must clear the Soviet land of Hitlerite vermin."
