That looks wonderful. I'm a big fan of your Penut Butter Panzer series, how many more PB panzers do you plan to build?

Hi Wing_nut,

Great concept and great dioramas! Having gone from bountiful space to none, I may have to try this with my 1/100 aircraft.

Nice job!

Marc,

INCREDIBLE! The trees look really good and in-scale. Are they small bristle bushes with "leaves" glued on?

I wargamed with lead miniatures in this scale way back in High School. We barely painted ours.

Where did you find the 4" dia penny? This has to 1/35 scale!

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Marc-most of my stuff is at wingnutmodels.com I need to do an update with some of the more recent build though.

Kevin-Unfortunately I have no history to go with the photo. There was a Hetzer that looked the same as this one.

Anthony-hey bud!

Jeff-I made the trees using this toot I found on You Tube.

I used Woodland Scenic Field Grass for the branches for no other reason than I had it on hand and it worked fine.

Marc,

I don't know English enough to describe something that small .
It is simply amazing.
