    Superb work. Love the figures, flesh tones are excellent. I am doing a similar thing with Alpine 's Wittmann and Woll and the Radius tiger wedgie so this is quite inspiring.

    Nice all around Carl. I gotta try one of these wedgies but I'd like to incorporate it into a larger diorama. Keep up posted!

    Alex thanks ! Looking forward to seeing your rendition of this wedgie... Nice idea using the late Tiger,perfect for Alpines Wittman and Woll. Hope to see some images of it soon !

    Dan thanks for your feadback buddy ! Yes these would be great for filling a corner on a dio... I'm soon to be working on a 1/16th wedgie with Jeff Shiu figure.

    Oh no not another quite frankly reference painting at this scale to make me green with envy, look out the window in a daze wondering, why can't I do that?!!!

    Once again Carl your work is just amazing to look at, well done mate on another beauty!!

    Actually I am using the early/mid Tiger and have converted it to a late with some spare wheels, Fruil tracks and my own zimmerit, I hope to start posting some pictures of it next week, time permitting. I would like to get it done in time for Euro:nailbiting:

    Dave how you doing,Not seen you around in a while buddy ? Great feadback thanks bro ; )

    Alex sorry thought you meant the same wedgie as the one above ... I know which you mean,the section from the side ? If so I did that "A tigers thirst" it's a great piece,but strange as it has the later 40mm thick turret plate,loaders periscope,turret ring guard and chevrons to the later dated tracks but oddly no Zimmerit and rubber rimmed road wheels ?!!
    Looks like you have it covered though with the extra pieces needed,nice one looking forward to seeing it !
    A quick plug,but a recent issue of Military Illustrated Modeller issue 16 covered the one I did "A Tigers Thirst" and issue 14 featured my Darius Hetzer. My latest works will be in upcoming issues .. Hay Euros only a month away bud !!!

    Cheers

    Frank thanks also buddy ! ;)

    I have mounted up the seated figure,I hate messing with painted figures ! just a few touch ups needed now and a little more matt cote to the upper body... also added a water jerry can (white cross) and another blanket which still needs painting...
