Ian

Me build an SPG don't make me laugh lol. No I haven't got an SPG in my ever increasing stash lol.

This is Tamiya's 1:16th Wehrmacht Tank Crewman I've already Tank Crew version so thought I'd give this one a pop...

Besides I need the practice as I've seen some seriously good resin figures from the Falklands conflict and thourght as we are

approaching 30 years since. I'm going to buy a Marine and a Para figure and try a tribute build.

Looks like you are getting to like this figure lark.

A nice clean build and well painted as well.

Yeah it's growing on me, it's very satisfiying when they turn out like this one lol

Looks beautiful now. It would be good if the highlights on the uniform are lighter, in my opinion.

That's really good David, excellent painting there! I do think the eyes are a bit off, the pupils could be bigger to reduce his stare a little?

that's only a tiny point though, and it doesn't detract from a great figure.

David, an excellent first go a larger scale figure....

As I found out, they are really difficult to paint, so full marks for having a go!

I'm glad you are getting satisfaction from building and painting these figures....That's all that matters really.

I look forward to the next one.

Well done.
