Thanks guys for the kind comments. Brad, I had a heck of a time getting the hands right. I had to resculpt both arms and both hands were cut off and I had to resculpt the backs of both hands. After all that and the painting, they didn't seem to line up. I may try to remove the figure and get the...

Randy, Moon Puppy and Carabinier thanks for the kind comments. Carabinier, you are right about the Hornet heads, they certianly improve plastic figures.

Cheyenne, Gatto Thanks for the kind comments. I am glad you like it. Slodder, thanks, the stairs were a difficult thing for me I had originally made them out of stone. I didn't like the way they looked so I covered them with putty. I still am not happy with them. Jenny thanks I am glad you like...

Thanks guys for the comments. Mike you are right about the background it didn't help the pics at all. I will try to get some more pics when it is further along with a different color background. Kreighshoer, thanks I did a pin wash early on but alot of the effect was lost during the weathering...

I have been working on this Marder for awhile now and was looking for some advice. I have never finished a model in German Gray before and was looking for some comments or suggestions that would help improve it. Thanks in advance. Rusty

Thanks guys for the comments. James, the Viking figure is from Latorre Models.

Here is my first in progress pic. I got a little time to work on this this morning before church. This is my first attempt at applying Zimmerit. I got a little out of alignment behind the where the exhaust pipes go. Is that alright or does this stuff have exact patterns? Does Zimm. even go...

Ruben, thanks that is a great link.

I finally got started on this beast today, and I am in serious need of some reference material. Does any one know of a good book or even better a web page that has some pics of the Jagdtiger up close. Thanks Rusty

Thanks guys for the comments. I am going to try to fix the tarp this weekend. This kit was a fun quick build. I am curious how the Tamiya kit builds compared to this one.

Here is the old Italeri kit I done for our local model club's model in a month contest. I am not a vehicle modeler so I built it straight out of the box and decided I would use it for painting pratice. I am pleased with it, however I am going to have to do something different with the tarp. I...
