If only the traxks were in focus we could enjoy the pictures. :-P
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

I like your work Herr Wittmann and I really like DIY stuff. I gotta agree, I wish your pic was clearer so I could appreciate it as you intended.

Weathering on track (rust) and tank are great. A talent I would love to have (but don't).

Ecam,

I've mucked up 4 HL tanks. The pictures are in another forum.
If ever I can help; feel free to ask.
