Hi Guys

Thanks for the feedback

screensize - AB figures are the best I've found so far I a set of German soldiers lazing about from Preiser I did a swap with another modeller other than that they are a bit to pricey for me. As for the scale of AB I think there about the right size but I could be wrong.

ajlafleche, trowlfazz and stukabomb88 - I did'nt even notice the direction the MP40 was facing till I got told about it by another guy and by that time it was to late the super glue had dried tand he hand is great pickup I'll have to watch that next time.

Looking great! The painting on the figures is very detailed, and finely applied. The tank's finish also looks great. As mentioned though, the soldier with the gun looks as if he's holding the tanker prisoner. Also, the crew member on the top has his hand he's leaning on floating in the air a little. It's hard to get them to fit where you want em.

I'll shut up now...Sign - Dots [#dots]

Great job though!

Ron-I would lower the MG the trooper has and also kerf cut the feet of the tanker on the turret to make him look relaxed. A little putty and he'll be fine. Otherwise you have done a wonderful job.

Its so nice to see 1/72 works, as this is also my favourite scale.

The only thing I have to say is that measures of AB Figures often look crude. Short legs, upper body much too big, head even bigger. The tankers look ok.

Are the figures in scale? since they look a bit small. That might be because of the angle at which they were photgoraphed.

What about trying Preiser figures?

The non tanker is violating a basic rule of gun safety by pointing it in the general direction of someone he's not planning to shoot and it even appears he has his finger inside the trigger guard.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Hi All

Just finished off this small dio for the tiny dio GB of a JagdTiger hiding inside some old ruin house waiting to take out some allied tanks one of the crew keeps his eyes open for tanks and another crew member talks to a passing soldier.

The JagdTiger is from DML and is built straight from the box.
The figures are from AB miniatures and the ruined house is from the old Airfix command post.

Everyting was painted with Vallejo paints and drybrushed and washed.
