I had been watching your build and am very impressed with your work. This thing is absolutely stunning!!!

I bookmarked your build for inspiration when I get around to building mine. Excellent!

Very nice, I like this a lot. The only thing I'd do differently is give the wooden post a more weathered gray color.

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

Impressive piece of work - I especially like the crane. Only thing, that long wooden block needs dirtying up some.

Cheers,

Chris.

Cute and cuddly, boys, cute and cuddly!

Al Thanks for the advice I'm going to weather the beam and the crate a little more and add a dusty coat to the lower hull and then its off to AMPS

Biffa Jester Panther Many thanks

I had planed on starting the figs but with amps only a week and a half away I think i'll just have enough time to do up a base.

panzerguy,i truly believe that this must be one of the most pofessionally done bergetigers ive seen.i have often passed this over for something with a main gun,you know how that one is.but as any afv thats produced ,they do serve a vital purpose.great build and looking forward to seeing this one in its final state.

WOW !!! Excellent build of a very unusual vehicle...boom and rigging are superb...zimm and scheme are top-notch...is that an AM conversion? I predict that you will do very well in competition...

Some things (very minor) for your consideration: tow rope has some noticable fuzz on it...the weld seams on the interlocking plates could really benefit from some more pin-washes...the running gear could use a little more dust/dirt...the wooden box on the back deck is very dark; weathered wood gets lighter (turns eventually to a grey)--maybe a tan drybrushing would make it "pop" a bit...

Overall, I give this a big WOW !!!

Very nicely done for a vehicle that gets little recognition. With the advice given and the little corrections to be made, this guy will probably win a ribbon. Good luck.
