Completed other side track  for this build last night ,painted and weathered as described before. All thats left on the build is the rear end ,Exhausts, jack and bits. Then i may do some stowage and a couple of figs. I want this as a hurried escape or withdraw from somewhere and houseing a worn out and tired crew in need of a desperate break or something along those lines.

Terry ,Model and Redleg cheers . This week so far i have chosen figures for this project. They are one being from dragon but a changed head from Hornet and i have replaced the hand to a diferent possition, the second figure is from Wolf and out of resin. I like the umbrella and it goes well with what i wanted to portray for the small scene i want to put it in. I have made a cushion to represent one taken from a gypsys horse drawn kart. This adds a bit of needed colour to the vehicle . I made it out of bluetak  yer i know crazy what you can make stuff from but it worked for me. i then painted one of the figs in a mid to late war camo scheme overalls. Painted in acryliks and the skin done in very lite coats of acryliks built up then finnished in oils , this i find works very well and doesnt leave a rough surface as i found was happenning with enamels.The last three pictures are actually the actuall size of the figure before you click to blow it up to the larger size so you can see what it looks like to scale.

Terry your spot on on the inspiration for this one and yes i do have that book then and now. Schnobbs cheers for your comments and yes post away it sounds interesting, Jthurston thanks man for lookin in and your kind remarks , the cusion has now bit the dust as i thought people didnt like it in the previous posts. I have given the officer a couple of filters now to tone down his camo a bit and yes he,s hitchin a ride as this is a time when there was a mad rush of a retriet from Normandy and the germans were hitchin rides on just about anything that moved. this particular jagd panther was actually towing another. Ive started the other figure and i still have to add the PE collars and badges on both.

I thought the cusion was really cool. Just my 2 centavos.

Andy,

I too thought the cushion was a nice touch but understand why you removed it. Figures are coming along nicely as well, getting closer to the finish line.
