Roadmap for the rest of ’22 and early ’23 + Topic changed for September
🕑 Added 2022-09-07 15:22:42 +0000 UTCHere is what I have in store for the rest of the year.
I’d like to get the Panzer III / IV family of tracks completed without dragging it out. Further I’d like to finish work on the early half of Panther Ausf. D production and start the new year with a topic I enjoy truly in order to keep my motivation high.
Rest of the year is pretty short, december is non-existent when it comes to productive spare time work, neither is the first half on January - that's why I already started to prepare stuff.
Further I'd like to finally manage to switch over to a proper executed release schedule instead of this mess right now. You guys need to read only twice from me a month: the preview and the release - that's what I'm working towards right now.
August post release remains as stated: Fryday 9th September.
Hetzer Backlog is being worked on again. Release TBA.
September:
Topic Change! I’m not getting done with designing the Panther stuff in time, subsequently can’t finish the model kits either. I'm not willing to haste the desgin process and sacrefice the quality that is possible with the data I have (most stuff was mesured and some scanned at Breda.)
Further I need to have the parts and video available before the release as a preview, not post release date.
In case you’re upset with this decision – contact me, we’ll find a solution that works for you.
New Topic: Panzer III / IV single link workable tracks:
- Type 1 tall guide horn -> corrected and up detailed, derived from my scanned type 3 core instead of data I got from a private collector.
- Type 1 short guide horn -> same as above.
- Type 1 experimental curiosity that showed up on social media…
- Type 2
- non-generic pins included
1/35th high detail version and optional new "beefcake" adaptation for older printers.
Pre-supported versions included.
October:
Panzer III / IV single link workable tracks:
- Type 4
- Type 5a
- Type 5b -> The channel does own this one as a original
- Type 5c -> new to us guide horn, scan based.

Channel Milestones:
- new Tier allowing to catch up on previous releases. This was requested many times now. Full content preview is available soon, contents are pre-scheduled here on Patreon by the time it goes live.

November:
Panther Ausf. D -> switched with September:
- Initial radiator cover w. & w.o grill.

- Grills for air intake, outlet and radiators.
- Flanges for “Schnorchel” port.
- Armored cover for “Schnorchel” port.
- Initial style of engine air intake cover.
- (Engine hatch? Conflicting data atm – I will climb an Ausf. A to verify first.)
- Lifting hooks.
- Workable Panther Early Track – very minor changes and up detailing, mostly based around me having partial 3d scans from 5 tracks of 3 different vehicles by now.
- MERCHANTS ONLY: Early Access to the full updetailed Panther Track family.
Personal Note: I'm going way over budget with this release, this is due to my personal enjoyment of the topic itself. Please keep in mind I have to ballance cost for data gethering & equiptment usage with the budget this channel allowes for. My time involvement is currently not taken into account anyways - it's still a spare time project and will remain so for a long while. Thank you.
