So shall we consider another trip down the road of Panzer modelling mates? What could we possibly do that would reach as many people as this effort has? I'm thinking figures,their are some fine post on this subject,but step by step,three guys doing it at once with three different results.

I have my KIRIN Wittman/WOLL SET now two years old,and unpainted,I have done three H/L Figures each a little better,but not anywhere near the level you two guys have achieved.

Certainly if I can do this anyone can, left handed painting for a right handed guy is hard enough but the issue for me always revolves around the face and hands, lets face it a Black Uniform is not difficult,the metals collar tabs,little bit hard,the arm bands,and cuff titles,difficult. Well I have said enough,cheers

Is that a recent build Oz. Really nice Panther with a different colour scheme to the standard German Tri camo. Love the detail on it.
Sax, I havent painted figures before so im a beginner as well. Sent for some German Field grey paint. The figure will be for the Flackpanzer, correct me if Im wrong, but only black uniforms were issued to the panzer crews. The Assault gun crews/ Flack wore grey ?

Bran,The uniforms were different depending on season,eastern or western front and unit,the Grossdeutschland Panzer guys wore Grey Tunics and Grey pants. I think Black was more an SS uniform,the Pieper in the Ardennes book has a uniform section.I think you may have this e-book? If not PM me and we can discuss it,cheers
