How could you not be happy with that war beast or a panther????? The chipping is awesome, and superb work on the highlights and the stains on the engine deck! The caked-on dirt and such on the wheels and tracks is incredible too :D

I wish that I'd seen this earlier Paul. Sorry that I did now.
I'm not sure what it is that you don't like about this piece, but I can see what I like. She's excellent.
I can see a whole slew of techniques that you've used on this and they're all wonderfully executed. Expertly so in many cases.
Well done bud.

Was sure I commented on it :scratch::

Great work Paul. I have seen it in flesh and can confirm this awesomeness is not a Photoshop :D
Love the weatyhering of the tank. Not to clean, not completely cover in mud, just right.
Figures look great too :th:
Sir, we're surrounded!
Excellent! Now we can attack in any direction!

Yes, Alpine figures are just amazing, probably, in my opinion, the best you can get.

The uniforms are not specific to Panther tanks, they have standard mid/late war head gear and reversible camo jackets that can relate to other crews and branches of service if they could get hold of them.

Their poses are more suited to Panthers, Tigers and King Tigers rather than III's or IV's.

Hope this helps
