Well fellas, At the end of last month I took the Elefant to Modelforce 2012 and got a gong for it. But I felt I still could do better so I tweaked things a bit, especially on the groundwork: a bit of more drybrushing and stuff and now I call her definitively finished. So, fine gentlemen, I present to you: [glow=red,2,300]PanzerJäger Elefant[/glow] [shadow=red,left,300]s.Pz.J.Abt.653[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]Galicia, Polen 1944[/shadow] My third ever finished build is a fact ;D Thanks for lookin'! Cheers

Very nice work all around wouter, the base and figure really show the "monstrous" size of this beast.

Tony, very glad you like her mate Bill, thanks fella. I have to admit I also thought of her to be monstrous in size...untill I started on a Merkava IV kit...that piece of IDF tank is much bigger than a KT or an Elefant Spud: I ain't joking: this started out as my second ever build and my third finished one T: thanks a lot mate, glad you like it . Finished builds will take a while from now on again I'm afraid ;D Mr. Dan, thank you Sir! Cheers

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Thanks dude CSS...and that's a good question ;D I currently got a lot of builds on the go in various stages...let's see: PzKpfw 38(t)E/F Initial Tiger II African Tiger I Merkava IV StuPa (Brummbär) PzKpfw III ausf M Stürer Emil Panther F NachtPanther 1:48 Tiger I late mmm...that's too much I reckon ;D ;D ;D however, the Merkava IV needs to be finished by September 4th (hope so ) and the African Tiger I should be finished when the Afrika GB ends...pfffw, stress all around ;D ;D ;D looking at my current finishing rate of builds I should be busy for another 5 more years ;D Cheers
