Hetzer dio... WIP

Thanks for looking Jadgpanther302

I just quickly did a search and it looks like the 57mm was used near the end of WW2 by the US so i think im going to stick with it for the dio.

I would profer to use an actual artillery pice like the 105mm but my parents dont think i need any more kits hahahaha

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking Boba Fett

Good idea about the casualty I think if i can find one I'll add it thanks for the idea.

Yup the Hetzer is the Tamiya kit one of my favorate kits

thanks for looking

Ok guys heres my first update. I've finished the first figure and have started on 2 others and I think I might add one more German and mabye and American casualty if i can find one or convert another figure.

This is the first figure.

And this is where he will be placed in the dio.

This is the parcaly started figure 2

and figure 3

For figure 3 the picture on the box art showed his shovle stuck in his belt but the instructions didnt show how to do this so I used one of my new mini drill bits to drill out wher ther was a bulge in the belt and wher the shovle was suposed to go and than glued it in place.

Thanks for looking! I'd like to hear any coments or ideas you have.

Looking good, I like how its going to look.

And I love the unique camo scheme, its even better than mine.

Thous you may have added too much mud

Thanks for looking T-rex!

Your Hetzer looks realy good I like how dusty it looks.

Ya I do tend to go waaaaaaaaaay overboard on mud hahaha

Dose anyone know wher i can get a figure of an American casualty? i'm haveing trouble finding one

Here's one I know from Verlinden... they sell few kits.  Of course I'd rather to see a dead German!  Hope this helps... http://www.verlindenonline.com/store/1-35-gi-39-s-down-wwii-2174.html

Thanks for looking and comenting guys!

I might rethink the casualty because of the size of the base it might take up a lot of room and make the sene apear to cramped? And i dont know of anywher that sells Verlinden stuff in my area so i might go with some bandeges or the helmet.

Thanks for looking! and for giveing me some ideas!

looking good stick, i wouldnt even do the dead american because if im correct, most of our casualties were carried away am i correct?

But at this stage it could have been a thick of the action thing where they had to leave the dead behind
