Thanks for the thought Andy! I found it in the U.S. on a used\new model site and it is in a sealed factory box for $14.00 US dollars.

I will be watching your build log. Keep up the great job and stay on task!! [:-^]

22

Very nicely done! Very unusual and interesting subject…looks to be quite small as compared to a Panther or Mk IV…[tup][tup]

23

Andy one day to build and another to paint! Not only am I impressed but in awe also. I wish I could build that fast and get as great results.

24

You probably could if it was all back to basics, Thanks guys and Manny this thing makes a Hetzer look big.

25

Ive just about done this one , ive added an old figure just for sence of scale and not as part of the build.Oh well i enjoyed that.

26

Andy you make weathered and beaten look beautiful! What a great job! [tup] It is amazing how small and tough this AFV looks.

With shipping I picked up this kit for $21.00 total and it should be here by Friday. What a great diorama vehicle.

27

Quick and fun, can’t argue with that! Nice work on this one Andy, the addition of the figure really does show the tiny size of the vehicle. Only recommendation I would make would be to add some bare-metal wear on the surface of the idler from contact with the tracks. It also looks like you added the wear to the steel road wheels on the right hand side but not the left?

28

Looking great Bodge!!! It’s amazing just how small these tanks were, especially when you’re so used to building panthers,tigers and the such.

29

You dont miss much do you Bill, i hadnt finnished painting that side up when i took these photo,s but its done now hense why most of the shots are from the side that was completely done,still its done now and thanks guys for lookin in.

30

Bill’s attention to detail is super scarey isn’t it Andy? [:-,]

31

Andy,

That explains it and wondered why there was only the one shot of the other side. [;)] Always the trick of the photographer to put the best foot/side forward!

32

Cool build the camo looks nice I like how it’s just dark yellow and green.

[:)]

33

Thanks again guys[tup]

34

That is one small tank. With the figure on it you can really see how small those tanks were. Excellant job all around, you nailed it on this build.

What’s up next?

Nice one Andy. Neat little piece of armor. You were right to add the fig for scale.

36

cheers guys for comments, Rob as for whats up next,ummm do i finnish one of my three builds that ive started and shelved or do i do something else. The vehicles ive started already are a jumbo sherman, famo and a jagdpanther oh yer and a panzer 4.Or i could do a figure. I know a lot of you on this site think im quite good at figures but im of round a friends house tonight where 4 of us are getting together for a figure tutorial from a member in our club who is a very talented figure painter so i hope to improve my skills a bit.

37

My God, Andy that looks just spectacular and to add to the surprise the time factor, You deserve a nice cup of tea after all that work.

Brilliant,

Terry.

38

Cheers and all the best.
