This is cyber hobbys excellent Panzer III Ausf N kit.the model was a joy to build and i cant wait to make a start on the painting.
The figures are from Royal models and Tank,i tryed to make sandbags out of milliput but not sure if they look the part (was my first effort).
Comments and criticism welcome.
Regards
Karl

I think they look fine. Your build looks very good.
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves. The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.

A nice clean build Karl and the figs are pretty cool. The sand bags look fine to me and they will look even better when all is painted. I am assuming this will be a DAK vehicle! keep up the good work and i'm looking foward to seeing some paint on your PzIII.

Great build....I 'm guessing the Tank Figure is the gray one. The other two figures kind of look like giants compared to the gray one. I think the two lighter figures would look better with some Hornet or Ultracast replacement heads. Just my opinion...The vehicle and sandbags look great!

Nicely done Karl, have to agree with the comments above, your sandbags and overall build came out well. Very clean, nice touch with the damaged rubber on the road wheels, looks good. Thanks for sharing your work, keep at it!
Cheers -
