And some outdoor pics too.
But......lack of snow.....sunlight reflection on the winter uniforms......not what i'd expected.

There are 2 standing tankriders on its way to me.
As soon as I have finished them painting, will post some pics again.
I also have a driver, but on this Panther, the front hatches are not to be opened.
Maybe I will make them openable, maybe not.....we'll see.
Regards,
Rob

You inspire me to get working on the tank riders I bought last month via Aliexpress. I doubt I will be able to finish them before the snow here melts away, even in the woods.

Wished we would had some snow during the shootage.
Would have made it much more realistic I guess.
Maybe next Winter.....

Finding suitable 'scale' vegetation is often harder than putting tanks in a natural snow-covered landscape, but you've done a fantastic job anyway. :clap: The riders are first class, whilst the Panther itself represents a masterclass in painting, and weathering. :clap:

Rob,

Lovely Panther and amazing figures! I really like seeing so many huddled up on the tank, very realistic! Fantastic!

Cheers,
Eric.
