Thanks Tojo! Fellas, i did some thinkin' and i didnt plan on havin' any figs with the Marder. Its gonna be a stand alone and im thinkin' on all hatches closed so im gonna skip out on the mid to front engine to drivers compartments and concentrate on the rest of the build. No sence in doin 8 hours of modeling that wont be seen..... Gary |

nice start on the beastie old chap and very sensible missing out parts that won't be seen, gets you to the painting stages much quicker!

If it ever came to pass they we would have to pick 2 or 3 models and that's all we could build forever... this, and it's variants, would be on the short list. Here's the Marder I built a while back. wingnutmodels.com/MarderIIIM.html And now you know why I too was going to ask what's the fid between yours and mine. |
