Great work sasd, I've seen this subject only once before on a show, but I believe that one was a Porshe turret, is that possible, or is my memory playing tricks with me.

Wow, I'm speechless. I wasn't aware that they installed these things in the defense of Berlin. I know from my Osprey Panther reference book that they were quite involved as far as the subterannean construction. There are numerous photos of installations on the Hindenburg line etc., but none in the streets of Berlin. Thanks for the wonderful dio and the education.

You're probably getting sick of me saying this, but that is superb work!
You've really captured the look of rubble. A beautiful representation!

Something different

Posted by sasd on Wednesday, December 29, 2004 8:34 AM

Hello everyone, here`s something a little different that I always wanted to do,
and finally have,a Pantherstellung in defence of Berlin. This one was fun to do.
