slowly
the hull comes together
a nice strong, interlocked box with each piece helping to align its neighbors |

poking holes
and cutting holes
i could not find anything in my books to correspond to the rounded corner at the front edge of the tank, so i trimmed it off rather than try to cut the holes in the outer pieces and hope they will all line up i glued on the pieces and then cut the holes... which was a little messier than i liked i used the cover plates to mark where the threaded holes would be to bolt them on and punched those into the body this is not really a model of the hull of the tank, but rather a model of the hull of a model... i don't have the references to really know how the hull would strip down |

and here is the start of the drawing
in corel draw
i started by guessing the guy was 5' 7" tall which gave me a 9' inner diameter, and a 5" flange seemed reasonable |

and here's
today's building
i went back and looked at my own wespe photos and confirmed that the hull rear was a welded plate and that the rounded corners in the front i cut off really needed to be there i tried blackening the holes in the side where things bolt in, which worked, but only sort of i may have to use a black wash on them |

fits perfectly since i drew the roller mechanism my guesstimates taken from screen shots of the youtube video having its frames for bolting the sides of the tank fit perfectly is hillarious |

It looks like they used Sherman Tank bogie wheels for the rollers. Intriguing concept for your diorama.
