Detailed Description

This lot consists of one original Arnold N scale 4-axle flat wagon that has been individually transformed into a unique Wehrmacht military transport inspired by the Second World War.

The wagon measures approximately 90 mm in length.

The wagon carries a highly detailed 3D-printed German WWII Elefant heavy tank destroyer, officially designated Panzerjäger Tiger (P), Sd.Kfz. 184, with vehicle number 224.

The Elefant was produced using a high-quality 3D printer in N scale (1:160) with careful attention to proportions and characteristic details.

The vehicle was carefully cleaned, prepared and primed before being individually airbrushed and hand finished in a historically inspired Wehrmacht camouflage pattern from the WWII period.

The Balkenkreuz markings and vehicle number 224 were individually applied by hand.

The overall appearance, camouflage, markings and arrangement of the military load are loosely inspired by historical WWII Wehrmacht vehicles and military railway transports. This model is an artistic interpretation created for a unique handcrafted N scale project and is not intended to represent an exact reconstruction of a specific historical vehicle, camouflage scheme or documented railway transport.

The wagon also carries individually detailed ammunition boxes, wooden crates and sandbags arranged around the vehicle to create a realistic military transport load.

The original Arnold wagon was completely disassembled, carefully prepared, primed and individually airbrushed by hand. The wagon body, chassis and wooden floor were individually finished and detailed to visually complement the military vehicle and cargo.

The DR markings were individually applied by hand.

The vehicle is secured on the wagon with individually made track chocks. The vehicle, ammunition boxes, crates, sandbags and all additional accessories are permanently fixed and are not intended to be removed.

After completion, the entire model—including the wagon, vehicle, cargo, paintwork, decals and additional details—was protected with a clear matte varnish to preserve the finish for many years.

All components and accessories were designed and produced in N scale (1:160) with attention to correct proportions.

The original Arnold wagon used for this project was in perfect condition before conversion. All buffers and couplings are complete.

The wagon was individually assembled, inspected and tested on the track after completion. It rolls smoothly and operates correctly behind a locomotive.

This is not a simple repaint of a ready-made model. The wagon and its military load underwent a complete hand-finishing process involving preparation, priming, airbrushing, hand painting, assembly, decal application, detailing and final protective coating.

The entire project—from the original concept, through the design and printing of the 3D components, painting, assembly, decal application and final varnishing—was carried out entirely by me.

Many hours of careful manual work were invested in creating this model. It is not a factory-produced military wagon but an original handcrafted project, making it a true one-of-a-kind collector's item.

Although the model has been protected with a clear matte varnish and remains fully functional, the hand-painted finishes and small 3D-printed details are not as durable as factory-applied finishes. Please handle the wagon, vehicle and all details with care.

Condition Note

The original Arnold wagon used as the foundation for this project was in perfect condition before conversion. All hand-finished paintwork, 3D-printed components, detailing, decals and the final protective coating are entirely new and were created specifically for this unique model.

Please also take a look at my other auctions, where I offer additional handcrafted military wagon models. Every project is individually created with different military vehicles, camouflage patterns, cargo layouts and details. I never produce two identical models—each one is completely unique.

Packaging

The original box is not included. The complete model will be carefully and securely packed to ensure maximum protection during transport.
