Hotchkiss TT6 - 1/35 my prototype

[tryModel]

Hi all,

Let me introduce another very simple paper models. I was ask to build a model of the French machine that few people interested. Do not expect any breakthrough design. The model is simple.

A little history ...
In 1950-1951 gg. commissioned by the French military firm Hotchkiss task to build a prototype light armored vehicles for the transport of six soldiers on the battlefield. Upon request, it was decided to construct two machines: an armored personnel carrier to transport infantry and armored vehicle for transporting goods. These cars were built in 1952 and was designated TT6-52 and CC2-52. After field testing machine received a number of enhancements that have been adopted not only by the French army, but - with some design changes, even the German Bundeswehr. In Germany, on the basis of armored personnel carriers Hotchkiss TT6-52 was built by a family of light armored tracked vehicles.

I like it much, I like this kind of small vehicles. I have in mind the build of some similar vehicle, the soviet T-20 'Komsomoletz', but this Hotchkiss is also very attractive.

"tryModel's" models have a way of coming out really nice. The potential for "greebling" is incredible.

Agree with Zathros on the greebling. The model may be simple but the graphics cry out for details. A couple of copies and you can raise the panels to turn this little fellow into a great detailed model. Continue on and thanks for sharing.

I agree. texture is everything. print out a few pages and make layers. im hoping to make a ktinga Klingon warship that way, not making it with lights all over but just a few as in the first movie. the highlights will be the greeblings.

I'm still working on a model ... I try to make it simple. You're right, there is room for improvement. I never published finished models ... deliberately. Everyone has the opportunity to put forward its position ... and yes, texture doing a lot. The model will be able to download (as usual), then you can show what you can do ...

Post more pics, PLEASE!! I love looking at you white models and all the panel lines. They make my Brain Happy!!

Hi,

prototype is completed ... missing a few details (antenna, holders canisters, ...). There's plenty of options to improve ... belts, wheels, loopholes, ....

I expect comments ... if there is interest, I add downloads (range 1.5 A4 pages)

tryModel (simple as it gets)

That looks very nice indeed!! Many people look but not all post. I would not take posts as an indication of popularity. Your models stand onn their own merit. They preserve a piece of history, and that matters, a lot!

That is looking impressive!! and I agree I wish all card models came with an option for white with panel and detail lines! Great Work!!

Trymodel, you could easily change your name to "I make models" or something like that because you are way beyond "Trying"!

Thank you, but I will stay at the "Try". Here I can find many amazing models on several levels above. I admire the work that is presented here, I would like get to this level sometime.
