                        I built this kit for the "That's Amore" Italian GB last year, and came in a little late with it. The kit is the old issue of the M13/40 that I converted into a command vehicle using some Italeri parts, some scratch work, and a lot of stuff from my spares bin. I finished it late last year, but over the past few weeks I have been working on a vignette base and some Miniart crew figures. Well I finally got it all completed last night and thought that I would share it here... here she is all together now in living color...

                        I am really liking those Miniart tank crew figure sets.

                        Thanks for looking, comments and critiques welcome.

                        Once again, those figures really set this off. I have that set in my stash for later. Now I know they'll look great. :)

                        Details are great!

                        Thanks Mike. I agree 100% that the figures really improve things. These Miniart tanker figure sets rock!

                        Glad to see you finally got her done. I haven't finished a kit since that build almost 3 years ago. I too really love those figgies.

                        Great to see you finish this SP, and the figures really complete the dio.

                        Maybe I did this for Rommel vs Monty? ;) Lol! No worries though. It's all good! Thanks for the kind words my friends.

                        Looks good, and I'll have to take a look at the MiniArt figs next opportunity.
