Well this will be my Christmas Project. panzer Iv was too quick  Ive been after this chap for a long time but the price was a killer. But Steve at SKminiatures looked after me in Telford Box Art     This needs a lot of work to get it right if you look at his legs you will see a big gap under one of them. the rifle but isn't sitting into position like it should and ill need to fill some seams. I hate White metal Figs  resin is far easier to work with, With some luck all this will be fixed this week and ill have Primer on him. Ill need to have a chat with Leo about a camo Scheme on him and hopefully we will come up with something good Leo is a Friend of mine and a collector of German stuff. |

Primer on  one niggle to smooth out on the helmet  once i fix all the gaps and the helmet ill primer it in gray. i used Tamiya White Fine surface primer here for the white metal. so ill use gray after the gaps are done and i can begin painting the face |

lol thanks for the offer Lucas but you would have trouble getting it to Ireland Made a start on the Gun don't know if you can see it but i added some back likes to look like wood grain. I painted the base with old wood and new wood mixed, both panzer aces and once dry covered it with burnt siena oil, Once dry it will get a gloss coat to protect it and then i can do the metal work Yes i removed the hair since taking the pic  |
