I sculpted the first one of these 15mm Zeltbahn tent masters way back in late 2005 and they’ve been kicking around my garage since then. Although I’m supposed to be painting Panzers I felt like doing a little sculpting so finished off two variants of the original tent this week.
One of the variants open on the other side, and the other is sculpted in two parts to represent an open sided tent. The idea is to cut a couple of thin pieces of 0.8mm wires and use them as poles to support the open side. I’ve placed the masters down next to a base of Flames of War German Panzergrenadiers.
I plan to mold these over the weekend and then try a few resin casts and build up a custom objective for my DAK Germans. Right, now these are out of the way it’s back to painting!

Stuart – they look great!
Any chance of these being available down the road? I’m thinking they’d be ideal for the nromandy stuff I’m doing.
Hi Peter, sure. I’m just casting up a few now and they’ll go up on the store page next week most likely. I’ll be selling them for $2us a piece, cast in a sturdy white resin.
Excellent. Moving to Aussie in April so will put the word around at the local club over there as well.
Did you ever start to sell these Zelts? I can’t find a store anywhere…
I finished making a master mold for them. Three Zelts, including one with an open flap but closed the store shortly afterwards, mainly because I made more regular money from simply hosting Google ads on this blog.
