You need to buy that guy a bottle of something very high quality, Herman.

Is it just me, or does the tank commander in the ushanka look like a cross between Mussolini and Marlon Brando? :haha:

Very very nice figures Herman.
They should compliment your tanks nicely.

Now I wasn't real keen on another hassle with a P IV in a hurry, but as I paint figures like I operate on open hearts, it was a deal.

Now I feel have not done nearly enough in exchange for the huge effort he's put in on this Verlinden crew.
I'm more than happy to do a lot more on his tank but I really wasn't sure how far to go even though we discussed it in depth.
He got to run wild with the fugues, I got to try different ideas for a PZ IV. G/H
The commander figure in the splinter jacket was one I wanted to ride in my Zu-Fuss Panther.


Thanks Brendon, massive effort and I really appreciate the hours you put in. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Germans might not have had the smartest leader, but they certainly had the smartest uniforms, and these wee figures really do model them exceptionally well.. :clap: :clap: .it's like a military model catwalk :thumbup: I particularly like the three in the first pic, who look a bit like like German Genies emerging from (Tamiya) bottles :D If I had three wishes, I'd have three Tamiyas commanded by these!

Doc did a great job on mine! Sadly they were broken apart at every joint by customs. I tried to put in a claim with the post office but the letter I got back from them basiclly said go pound sand. Customs was looking from drugs, seems Scotland is a hot bed for drug smuggling. :/
