I'm a sucker for these (mostly) colorful artistic interpretations of reality. I've only scanned the line drawing of Mr. Bruce Culver. And the only one I copied myself from the Internet is the Krupp look-alike from the website of the talented illustrator Vincent Bouguignion. The rest I found scattered on the Internet over the last decade. The aim of this sheet is triple: to document them and to credit the maker or the (book)source and to compare the information.

This 251 /C /1 Riveted is said to be from a game, though to me it looks like a small scale model. (who knows?) These marvelous drawings must have come from a 3D design program. My guess is Yahoo's Sketchup. A crisp well detailed 251 /C /1. Love to hear who did this huge job! The frame. Now who can translate it for me? Left rear hull construction Front hull construction. Nose section Complete hull with fittings Someone added the other body versions difference to it Bare tractor Fitting the track gives a good view of the entirely different track I'm a big fan of this great artist.
