Tamiya Marder III

[Steve Hutchinson]

Absolutely Philipp

Your figures are looking good

The Marder is looking well used too

Practice in all things, and as Vinnie used to say

The figures support the main act, Armour

Eyes are the hardest part of a 1:35 figure, many skilled painters don't bother more than a dark wash.

I know it isn't the easiest thing to do, but look yourself in the eye in a mirror, you will see the proportions of

white to pupil, and try to recreate it

You ares till finishing builds at a rapid pace,

Well done

The figures look good Philipp. That round looks huge. I used to be in the Army and I was on M1 Abrams tanks. Back them we only used a 105mm round and that thing was heavy as hell. I could load the hell out of it though to the point, several tank commanders used me as a loader during range qualifications. Worm me out. My tank crew would be getting some R and R and I was loading for several tanks.

[Philipp Gross]

Thank you Shawn

To be honest I have no idea how large or heavy a Pak 40 shell is. Probably a little lighter than a 105mm though At least the poor sod would have had more space than in a proper tank

Fun fact: The Japanese kept the 90mm gun for as long as possible because the 105 was considered too heavy for the average loader...

Those figures convey a real sense of urgency to the scene Philipp. Great work.

Thanks Vincent

Not sure what's going on but something certainly is

Here's some dirt, grass and dead leaves will follow:

"BUGGER, there's a flock of T-34's behind us!"

Perhaps

Very Nice Philipp

[Philipp Gross]

Thanks Steve

The gunner looks fairly excited, maybe there's a group of Tigers coming over the hills instead

Base complete, minus a little bit of paint around the edges, which will follow tomorrow.



Grass tufts by Noch, the leaves are self-made from real leaves with a punch.
