I think he should charge a good price and paint sets of SdKfz-251 crew for those of us who have no chance of ever producing the fantastic figures he does

That would become toooo expensive for you guys, due to the shipping costs to me and back to you!
I‘m sorry.
Otherwise I even would consider it…..
Rob.

G‘day tankers.
Did some painting on the Grenadiers and finished them all.
Next step will be weathering these guys.
Did bent brass brackets for the 3 guys jumping out of the Halbkette.
These must be painted in Panzergrau wenn the glue has dried.
With these brackets it is always possible to take them off together with the brackets, when I want to use the vehicle without these 3 men!

Zowie!
Those figures leave me seething with envy!

You have created action even when the SdKFz 251 is standing still. It would be interesting to see how you worked out the brackets.

No problem HDP:

The jumping Grenadier on the front left side has a flat hand.
The hands of the other 2 grab around the railing inside the Kampfraum from the vehicle, so they didn‘t need an extra support.
So I drilled a 1,5mm hole in his wrist and added a bent piece of wire.
Now his hand could rest on the plate next to the MG shield and the wire is an extra support for his hand so the figure won‘t fall off.

Added some Tamiya Panzer Grau onto the brass brackets.
Now they are hardly visible anymore.
