Exhausts drilled out!--1/72 Matchbox Jagdpanther kitbash

Karl - First, the past week has been a zoo for me so I am catching up and with that....

WOW 1/72 figures....you out Mannied Manny

As usual the king of finish has pulled another museum quality build.

Now....are you blind yet.....Next, to show your diversity you will be telling us you are playing classical music at Carnegie Hall....

Nice work as usual.

Rounds Complete!!

Tony, Mike, Hans, and allan, Thank you for the nice comments!

Speaking of Manny, where is he?

Aaron--believe it or not, I see a motocross track map from the sir with that image you did with the silly putty! LOL! BRAAAAAP!!!

OK, just two updated photos--I drilled out the exhausts, and painted the wood block, as per Bill's and some others' sugggestions! Thanks again, for all the help, praise, and critique of this favorite little kit of mine!

I'll tell you what, most guys would kill to be able to apply that same level of craftmanship on a 35th scale model, much less a 72nd scale model. This is one of the nicest 72nd scale pieces of armor I have ever seen...I truly mean that---maybe the BEST. 

IMO, this is a shoe-in for a feature article in FSM. They are nuts if they are not dialing your number right now wanting the rights to this build blog.  This effort is truly another facet to the gem of your modeling skills...and those figs!

Bythe way, how'd you shrink my 35th scale figgies down to 72nd scale???

5 STARS !

Thanks, Manny, and dupes! Thanks for being so kind!

Manny, to be honest, I'm not sure if I took enough "WIP" shots of this to submit it? I better be careful too--I just sold two more articles to them--the "MIG" King Tiger, and the Castle Neuschwanstein--so I better not 'wear out my welcome", lol.

Thank, guys!

Ja ja, das is gut Herr Doog!

Brian

Geez, Doog.  That is one serious braille scale Jagdpanther!  The camo is superb.  You done great accounting for the scale effect.  On top of that, figures and a base to boot!  What's next? 1/72 Aber 3 piece tool clasps? 

 I don't think that I could ever do something like this. My excuse is that my fingers are two sizes too large.  Well, at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it....   A really fine job.

 And congrats of your winter scene that is currently being displayed on the mainpage.

 Don

WOW!! realy nice work Doog! great build.

Karl you're an alien right and not of this world.

Tony the Mutt

Yeah... those exhausts really make that bit of a difference, really ...really.... GOBSMACKED....

Go for the Article let the rest of the world see this.

Terry.

Brian, David, Don, Orion, Tony and Terry, thanks so much for the kind words!

Thanks too, Don, for the heads up about my "snow scene" on the website here! I didn't know that!

    Karl, I'm late on this but I was waiting  to post a picture, (but I've given up on the pic) of my oob Jag that I built (OMG! almost 30+ years ago) it and the MB Stuart were my fav kits and have survived display all these years, even the trip home from Germany (the german packers!). I don't think anyone thought about pe then esp. in 72/76 scales! Your version is great! As all your endeavors. I am glad to hear FSM is Buying your articles, Maybe that means we will see less of some of the ridiculous and pompus jerks the've been publishing or "Highlighting" in the past and more of good guys like you and few others around here!!!!!

                      Good Hunting........ Gary

Thanks so much, Gary!

Love to see that JP if you get the pics ot work!

If I had one album on a desert island, it would be this one!! Nazareth is like, my absolute favoriteband, and if I ever do a solo project one day, I will be looking for a singer that sounds like Dan McCafferty!
