1:1 Panzerfaust w/ moving parts (hopefully!)

Well, the faust isn't a bazooka. For a bazooka, you mean the Raketenpanzerbüchse, an 88mm anti-tank weapon, commonly known as the panzerschreck. Think of the faust as an RPG.

This full-size paper model should cause a lot of double takes and enjoyment at a gun show. I can imagine many people there wanting pictures of themselves holding the paper Panzerfaust. And this could be a great introduction to the whole hobby of paper modeling for many attendees.

Good analogy on this.

Thanks. I try my best, especially since I'm very interested in this ww2 german stuff.

I might be missing something here... maybe someone can help. Is this Panzerfaust downloadable? If so, where?

Thanks

Werner, He is posting it on his deviant art page (link on bottom of his post) on Friday. I say this as I am waiting eagerly too. Very cool job, Rocketman.

Cheers, Rob

I think Panzerfaust is supposed to mean "armoured fist" or "armour fist". At least that's what a number of websites about the weapon say.

Panzer: German for "armor", "Faust" meaning "fist". The term "panzer" has the same application as "armor" does in the English language, so "panzer" could mean anything from the type of armor that clads a tank, or armor as a synonym for armored fighting vehicles. In any event, the name was meant to denote a sort of knock-out blow that could "punch" through armor.

@Werner: I try to release designs every friday. So, y'know, the whole thing has been drawn up, testbuilt, revised, converted to pdf, and put on my deviantArt queue.

They had an 88mm bazooka, too? That must have been a fearful thing!
