# As always lots of pictures to follow! #

Okay so as promised I will post up my finished Panzer pictures.
This has been a quick build for me, helped by the fact that I have nothing else on the go at the minute so could devote all my spare time to this kit.. First across the finish line, would rather not be!
I hope you all enjoy this collection of images, not the best photos, but you'll get the idea..
Building clearance as I imagined it to be...
Panzer Rgt 8, DAK, North Africa, 1941-42..









































Looking out contemplating the chances!.....





But this guy is going to choose for us!























These last four Pictures taken with the flash enabled...









Sorry for the many pictures, I can just never choose a couple to depict the story or to do the build justice..
This is my little Panzer II, hope you enjoyed the build process..
As always thanks for taking a look, comments and questions welcome..
Take care and Happy Modelling guys..

Well Andy you have produced a stunning little diorama, all the more impressive considering the condition of some of the kit parts.

You've done a top job on the tanks desert colour and weathering.

Well done, this has been a great build to follow and the end product is something special.





Don't worry about the amount of pics, it's always great to see something from many angles

Lovely little scene, i like it a lot
very good job on the figures aswell, not only the tank and diorama all components of the scene fit together perfectly.

Fantastic work Andy, superb job mate

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

As I said before Andy, superb work!
All together makes a really nice little dio.
I'm a 1:35 builder, seeing you tackle this tiny kit earns my respect buddy
Can't wait to see what else you got up your sleeve!

[fly1ngdutchm4n]

Oh..... ps,

I love photos! The more the better!

[coladito1]

Great job on tne final reveal, and congratulations on being the first completed model

[alextheblue]

Awesome work Andy!!!

Love all of it and the changes and scratch built bits you added really bring this piece to life. Can't really add to what has already been said as it is totally brilliant - when you can't pinpoint one bit that stands out, to my mind that means the whole diorama blends perfectly and shows an exceptionally high level of craftsmanship!

Well done mate!!!


P.S. I love lots of pics too!!

[wappynutter]

Wow..... thanks again everyone, so glad you like what I did...
Now as some of you mentioned you like lots of pictures.... and you mention how small this kit is...
I thought I would show you just a couple more reveal pictures with my hand in shot for scale comparison...
Not the best photo's but you get the idea of scale I'm sure..




























That's the lot...... Sorry if your now sick to death of seeing this kit, I'll find a new project once I get back from my visit to Lapland.. I Promise..
Happy modelling guys..

Is the hand for scale included in the kit? Cause its been missing in all the kits I've bought!

Great work my friend, massive amount of detail for such a small scale! Especially on the figs! Great choice of colours for the panzer, the uniforms, the buildings etc. - it really blends together nicely!

[Dunhill2005]

Great job!!!

I could implementing anything in this small size

[UKscalemodeller]

You should be damn proud of that.

[Rob]

lovely rio Andy. Very nice all round

[JayCub]

great work Andy and looking forward to more, a lot went into this build and it shows

[wappynutter]

Thanks guys, really appreciate the kind comments and posts.
Just gotta decide on my next kit to build...
Hmmmm ......
When I decide I'll get a new build log going to show you all.
Till then, Thanks again..

I'm just catching up on all the finals so far... Jeez Andy..
Those figures completely... complete this.
They add the sense of purpose to the whole thing.
Well freaking done buddy... This is a great piece. And sooooo small.
I love the photography too... you've got some skills there as well dude!!

[alextheblue]

Great idea to show these pics so you get a real sense of the scale - unless of course you have GIANT hands!!

The dio is very impressive, but when you're reminded of the size of it - WOW!!!





Got to dish out these thumbs to deserving people before someone else (no names mentioned ) wears them out!

Thanks Michael, So so glad you like it mate.. I totally enjoyed my first tank and am already pawing over my 1/76 airfix Matilda kit trying to find time to start it....
I'm staying with the smaller stuff for now until I feel confident enough to open up the big scale kits...
