hi
here is a couple of shots of a little project i have nearly finished. its is mig productions panther trum, set in a little bit of ground, i havent yet decided weather to add figures or not.
i still need to weather the turret it's self and paint and weather the barded wire and posts.


what do you think and can you recomend any figures you think might look good on this base? german or allied troops?

cheers
neil

Gday Neil
I really like the set up you have going here. As far as figures go, I reckon it should be dictated by how you finish the Patherturm. A peaceful, yet to be breached scene featuring German soldiers could work, or a damaged scene with Allied victors inspecting could also work...
I look forward to any progress mate

Looks very good - except from the spend shells. They lie at a strange angle and would surely have rolled down the small hill in real life especially the shell nearest the top.

A nice small scene, but it also needs some "life" from figures. I would go for some Germans relaxing, on guard, discussing maps/tactics or similar.

Thanks for sharing - hope to see more

Nice Neil, good work there. Couple of Germans talking or having a coffee break around the top of the turret would look good. Keep at it! Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Cheers -
Tim

hi
thanks for the comments guys, i think i agree with you.....i will put some german figures relaxing around it. just got to find the right ones now....i know dragon do a set of germans relaxing in italy, but i have used this set for another little dio, so i'll look for some diffrent ones.

yeah i agree about the spent shells, i was just playin about with them, i have now set them in alittle lower down.

cheers

Could be a good idea with resting Germans. I am looking forward to see what you end up with.

Keep us updated
