    Hello fellow modelers,

    I gave this old Tamiya veteran from the sixties a second chance and converted him into an ss artillery officer.
    Check out the complete story here:

    Have fun, Luc Klinkers.

    Great site you have there Luc. You really rebuilt that figure from the ground up, to the point that it is all your creation rather than just a conversion.

    I'm glad to see that you quite obviously spend your time examining photos of the actual subjects for inspiration, rather than simply copying the work of other modelers, as one sees too often. It shows nicely in your creations.

    Lovely job.

    Great work

    Hi Luc
    Were Tamiya figures really that bad, they looked ok at the time. Not much of the figure left when you have finished with it. Great work.

    Tamiya were never that into figures anyway, old or new... The 1/16 series were brilliant, but short-lived...

    More a complete rework than pimping up... Outstanding as usual!

    You're selling yourself short by calling that a conversion Luc, that's a complete rebuild! Top stuff.

    Saw it just this morning: new one out in just a month or two :)

    P.S. Just seen a pic of the model and it doesn't live up to the box art so not really worth holding one's breath!

    Ziet er goed uit Luc.
    Zoals altijd!!
    Het is een gave als je kunt schulpturen zoals jij.
    Ik zou nooit meer een figuur kopen als ik het zelfde zou kunnen.
    Ga zo door!

    Groetjes Peter
