can´t tell you how much time - but it´s not so difficult as it might seems to be.
If you are interested I´m certanly glad to tell you some of my modelling "secrets" .
50 degrees are unpossible - believe me. 35-40 degrees are maximum. 35 degrees sometimes lift your Panther/ Tiger in front.
Sherman and T34/85 are a little better for climbing because their weight is a little more in front. Certanly you can drive your Panther/ Tiger backwards but this seems not very real...
Hi,I´m intersted in your modelling "secrets".
I want to build a "playing Area".Size will be 50x120cm.
I want to build some hills,a little forrest,some military positions with killed tanks and some ruins.
It also has to have some Trial areas where its difficult to past.
