Thanks Gary! :D

The 'Tiger cub' has received its oil bath:

Its not entirely dry yet. I'm plannung to do some experiments with other methods to add a little more character to it, but for the most part it's good as it is right now.

The Panzer is completely, finally and permanently done*, time for the rest.

As the TV cooks say: I already got something prepared. I once made that base for my BT-7 but ended up making a bigger one. I want to keep things compact here:

Image

MB's figures are as usual very well made with resin-like heads, but this time I had some heavy mould seams to clean up. Still not entirely done with filling the gaps and other stuff.

Image

"Hey Fritz?"
"Yes Hans?"
"Where is the bloody gun?"

:lol:

I added a few "chalk" markings (in that ancient horror called Kurrentschrift) to add the chassis number and point out a few flaws made by the assembly crew (= me). Yeah, I'm so very funny :P

I have to admit I'm in awe of your demonstrated capacity to read Kurrent. It and Sütterlin usually defeat me when encountered in corespondence :oops: .
In my defence: I can read Fraktur and some more structured handwriting! :lol:

Also: the Tiger kitten is nice what with the markings, figures and base :D !


Best regards

Nice looking Pz I F, Philipp :D

and well thought out diorama too ;)

Less is more :D

The figures look just right for your theme, are you changing heads or using the MiniArt ones?

Nice one :D

Thank you Steve! The figures are made by Master Box, not Miniart. Thankfully they have much better heads, so there is little reason to replace them. :)
