X-Mas came early this year
Re: X-Mas came early this year
My next project will my Panther Ausf.G
But I am still waiting for stuff to come in for that Panzer, so in the meanwhile I might make a driver and radio operator out of the two stock figures which do come with most tanks, to fit into my Ausf.F
I think I must cut them off just below the shoulders, and make some support inside the hatches in front of the turret, to put the both of them onto.
I am also expecting a couple of motorcycle goggles to put onto the driver and radio operator's faces.
As I am always messing up the figure's eyes, these goggles might skip that issue. Besides that, I think the goggles will look great on the guys peeking out of both hatches.
Must figure out some things first before I start cutting the guys.......
To be continued.

As I look at the handles I just made......they look like German handgranates, hahahahahahaha!
But no matter what you guys say...they will stay on the hatch

Re: X-Mas came early this year
I love what you have done on the hatch !
Sometimes it’s the little things in life that seem to make a bigger difference than they intend!
Great commander and the idea of goggles on your two crew is an innovative solution to both eye painting and dust in ya face if you were in s real vehicle on a dirt road in summer in Europe !

Thnkz for the compliments.
Re: X-Mas came early this year
Btw, this figure is from Torro too just like the one in my Panther-G.
The legs need to be amputated to make 'm fit into the cupola.

Re: X-Mas came early this year
Hi Rob, When I have to fit handles on to a flat surface I first of all pin vise a couple of holes for the handle to sit in.
Not too deep just enough for the handle to be properly located and for the Glue to have something to grip.

I think I am about to upset someone 
Re: X-Mas came early this year
Shaun, good afternoon.
I did not take the hatch off the tank so I was afraid damaging the hinge when making pinholes.
It did work the way I did too.
