Each year Volker puts up an Advent Calendar. I have no idea what the theme will be this year, but he announced that it will be up around midnight tonight for the first model. He typically leaves each model up for two days, so check back often. www.racepaper.de/race/xmas/xmas2016.htm

Day 2 is the front of a Mercedes Service Truck in yellow.
I'm kinda hoping it isn't all Mercedes. I'm needing to see a couple Volvos if I'm to do the Anheuser-Busch OTTO

Seems like Volker is releasing "tow truck" related papercraft. The Mercedes looks good, anyway.

The Yellow Mercedes Truck Service Truck ended up being a four-pager. Full of detail (translates to : Parts that have unknown function and/or location)

Well, at least they aren't all 'currently-sold' Mercedes. That 1960 LS has me interested.
I guess I don't know the Sprinter very well. I was thinking of it as more of a light delivery van, not something that could be used as a wrecker

The only thing I hate about their advent calendars is you can't go back and download previous ones.
So if you miss a day, you are stuck like chuck.

I was told that you can use Wayback Machine to pick them up, but I haven't checked it out. Or you can post a request here for files you have missed

Of all these so far, I think model 'e', the G-Klasse is the first I'm going to build, and then I think I might do a Follow-Me truck mod of it.
It just looks like one to me

If you all are following this, the bonus models all seem to be variations on W-chassis Mercedes. Considerably less daunting than some of the carriers

Awesome! can you share?

Post by Vermin King on Jan 23, 2017 13:46:02 GMT -9
Probably shouldn't. I'd asked Volker what his policy was on sharing repaints, with the photos above, and he didn't respond. I believe that was his way of saying 'No'
Did you get e_16_011? You should still be able to get it thru the Wayback Machine. I just changed the body color to yellow, removed the cutout in the back bumper, changed the side stripes, and pasted in the LED Follow Me sign I found on the internet.
If you use Gimp, I can walk you through what I did pretty easily

And the new advent calendar is starting. This year has the theme of '1/87'
Day 1 is a motorhome

Looks like Day 2 is part of a race track or something.

My guess is that it is going to be an RV park

Just flashed across my mind that we are in advent, so it looks like I lost 11 days of Predes Calendar. Fortunately (for me) 1/87 models are not my cup of tea.
Thank you Predes... anyway! ;-)

There is a mix of RV's in 1/43 and 1/87, so I'd still check

Uhmm... it seems I'm not really in an "advent mood" so I've forgot to check the calendar every day. I'm afraid I've lost the "Piaggio Ape" model, one of our glory ;-)
