Confused PzKpfW. Löwe

Hello everyone!

I am having a little trouble with modelling the German Prototype heavy Tank Löwe. The turret is fiendishly difficult .

Anyone have any advice? Can anyone help me out? I have been working on improving my style but this one just seems that little bit too tricky. Anyone done anything similar to this?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Here is what I have managed to create thus far. I am not too happy with the shape of it but it really is the best that I can do. I have provided my reference materials too. The gun is a real big issue.

As far as I can find out, metal was never cut for it.

Thanks Guys. I am aware that it was "Paper Panzer". Has anyone taken a look at what I have made up till now? Your thoughts? Anyone want to give me a hand designing the front of that turret?

Monty,

I could help you out. Send me your files and I'll go over them for you and see what I can come up with.

Hi Oragus,

Been very busy with work etc. I just read your response. The turret issue was sorted out eventually. I worked at it a bit more and finally managed to make something presentable. I will post it up tomorrow.

Long time no see. Good to see things are still in the works. I have been too busy to give my mod any real quality time. I will be posting up some of my finished stuff for people to look at etc.

It will be finished one day.

All the best,

Monty.
