Being able to make a good bucket in scale modelling is up there with making good rust, good water, good mud, and good snow. They're one of the pillars of awesome !

Hi guys,

There was one image online that inspired me. And that is the image below.
A Tiger captured by US forces in Tunis, 1943. A veteran at the end of it's glory time.
An American soldier is proudly posing on the loot.
I like this picture because you normally don't see an american sticking from the commanders hatch of a Tiger. :thumb1:

I wanted to make my guy pose in about the same position,
So I took some body parts and performed some Frankensteins. :thumb1:

I'm more of a reader, then a writer...... but seeing your built I just had to react.
Very, very impressive paint and weathering on this Beast :bow:: Specially like wat you did with the oil washes. :clap:
Great looking bucket, but why not make it from the beercan as well?

Well, Peppie,

I made one.
What I like about it, is that it is way thinner (more realistic) than the paper one.
Thanks for the tip! :th:
