I had a hard time this summer finding time to get work done...but managed to get this one finished.
Its Dragons Ferdinand with some Aber photo etch, Model Kasten tracks, Archer transfers, and a little scratch work. The figures are Royal Models with Hornet heads.

Thanks for looking.

Bart

Wow, what a fantastic build! Absolutely stunning work on both the Ferdinand and the figures.

Consider entering it into model of the month!

Thanks for sharing

Bert - That is a real beauty! I will second Jesper, definitely a Model of the Month contender. I'm working on this kit at the moment, a really enjoyable build, but it won't hold a candle to this baby. Funny to see you ripped off the right front track guard, I did that on my build as well.

I really like the camo and you did an excellent job on the crew. The track sag turned out very well.

I find nothing on this that I don't like and really would like my armor projects to look this good!

Nice work! Weathering and figures are perfect.

Hi Bart
Jeff said it, nothing to pick at at all. Simply stunning work and those Royal figures are awesome.
Best regards

Very nice work! I really like the final result. Not too much wear, yet it has the scars...

I agree with all above comments, and I really like the figures and the slight sag at the front of the tracks. I'm really glad that you added some flowers in the grass because it helps balance out the coloring, very smart move. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Very nice. Colors are mellow and not blatant, especially the weathering, which blends in the atmosphere and surroundings, and exemplified in the track color. impeccable base-work joins the whole to reveal an expert at work.
