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.
I wanted to make my guy pose in about the same position,
So I took some body parts and performed some Frankensteins.
Next up: The Final Reveals!!
Cheers

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

Specially like wat you did with the oil washes.
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!
