Hi guys
Been a long time since posting on Armorama. You know the drill... work, family, life.
After finishing commission build I wanted to do something quick. Dragon 144th Hetzer. Made new schurtzen and MG shield with scrap PE. This is going to be a series of small dios on jar lids. Peanut butter lids to be precise. Hence the name of the series, "The Peanut Butter Panzers"
EDIT...Opps meant to put this in braille scale. If a mod sees this and can move it where it should be that would be great.

Good grief, that is one tiny Panzer!
Nice work!

That is very inpressive work. It must take extremely steady hands (like a surgeon) to work with such a small scale; simply oustanding!

Wow, great camo-paint on this "small"
thing!
This one is smaller than my ones.
I also have some small "civil" modelkits, but these are about 1.5 inches in height (and diameter), and get no camoflage.
thanks for sharing...

Marc,
VERY nice! The camo painting is great, and the weathering is really good and in-scale, too.
Did you make the cross decal?
ESSAYONS!

Insanely fantastic work!
Even for a Braille scaler it's too small.
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

Phenomenal work and I must totally agree with PanzerAlexander's final remark. Have they upped your medication yet?
Thanks for sharing.

That's awesome! The camo looks incredible at 1/144th... I have this ongoing series of 1/72 figures that I like to call the bottle cap vignettes for the same purpose. Gotta love recycling
Take care,

Marc,
Simply marvelous! In that scale dropping the entire assembled vehicle onto the carpet would be disastrous! And your pushing it with the eyes going out of calibration.

Eddy, Rob... sorry for the late "thanks for the comments". I have been away from this forum.. and others for a while. I was in an funk for a while and just got my modeling mojo back so hopefully I'll be around a bit more.
