Yeah, I also need to get a Panzer IV to make Syrian as well in my scale. That and the rest of the WWII German equipment used by them...

Apparently I never got a proper all angle walk around of this project posted. Especially since I finished up the mechanic figure earlier this year and positioned him on the engine deck.

Without further ado…

Great pics Carlos. The figure looks great - looks like he's looking for a dropped tool :giggles: I like the finish and pose of the turret on this one.
Thanks,
John

State of the art result Carlos!

Looking very good, dynamic with figure and of course, picture quality just excellent!

Outstanding work Carlos. I never saw the OP so it's a win for me :wink: Well executed figures always elevate a model to the next level. :shoutout:

Yeah, I wish I could have gotten the figure to fit into one of the open panels, but his pose was a bit off. Not sure what he’s fussing about… :whistle:

Well, this one was not easy once I started the deep dive into the engine area :headslap: I suppose it all depends on how much I deviate from what comes in the box.

I think the figure really adds a proper dynamic to having the engine deck grills opened up

I’m happy to hear that you were able to see it this time around Chris! And yes, I agree about what figures can do for a build.

And for all the compliments on the photos, that is a result of Bruce’s continuous coaching on my work there. He has been a truly priceless mentor in this area, besides being a great friend. The credit is all his.

Thanks again Gary! The build I take credit for amd like I said above, the photos would not be half as good without Bruce’s help.

P.S. sorry that your reply didn’t get included in the above post as well, but out of habit I hit the damn submit button and once you do that, editing won’t allow adding another quote… :headslap:
