One big final polish before E-bay

Thanks for popping by and all comments and advise is welcome

The uniform is "sliming" for Herman now that he's all painted!

Thanks Adam

a few weeks at weight watchers has been a big boost for Herman :lol:

He still can't get into his little tank though :oops:

Enjoy your shopping in the USA ;)

Loved it and it has been a real motivator to get more kits finished, and some figures too :roll: 8-) :lol:

Hope you like it

Great build - it really shines in the "beauty pictures" it! :D

I know I've said it before and probably will say it again in this thread but the awesome painting really makes this look so much better than is really has any right to look! :mrgreen:

And Herman came our really awesome, especially given that he looked a bit like a troll initially :shock: !

And all of that while slaving away to paint heads for me! :o
(Thanks again for that and I swear I won't boil any brains any more - all thanks to your honest advice! ;) )




Best regards

Thank you gentlemen

Much appreciated,

Herman is now on his way to a new home, with his little tank

A £15.15 donation is also on its way to PA too.

Loved the whole 70's build blog, but back to reality with the other builds,

The T-34, The Adler and 232 6 wheeler, and finally the Pak 35, Pak 43 and Sd.Kfz 7.

I also have another head painting project, for 25 heads :shock: ;)

Thanks again

regards
