Excellent.

The tracked box car will be great to support the Spinne in my painting queue.

They look really good . Are the doors on the sides and rear of the cabins separate pieces so they can be displayed open ?

Unfortunately no due to sprue space limitation.  :(

Well its nothing a little cutting and sanding won't fix . Always wanted to build an ambulance version with a couple of stretcher cases . Anyone know which company  makes wounded 28mm figures ?

Use Warlord plastic figures and the stretchers from Rubicon's SdKfz 251 ambulance.  Covermost of the figures with blankets - hardly any converting needed!

The Maultier kit designs look excellent.  Another incredibly useful addition to the range!

There is also a version that will replace the normal 7-plank standard trunk with a 4-plank trunk too!  ;)

Excellent.

I can see the Maultier being very useful with the Copplestone Castings Polar Perils figures.

After a few months of fiddling around on this minor project,
finally get the initial sprue layout done!





Any comments?

That looks good.

Now, who wants to do plastic German infantry in cold weather gear?

This isn't a minor project, it's another great kit subject!  I would buy several of these.
