Armorama wanted to highlight the figure aspect of Military Modelling and who better to start with than Michael Wittmann painted by VK Thai.

Outstanding painting. Looks as good as a 1/16 scale guy.

Really nice job ! The leather effect is really well done, and the base is quite convincing too. I really like it. That's quite a good news that Armorama is willing to make more features on figures. Although I would suggest that the photos on the feature should be in a better resolution and in a bigger frame.

Hi VK ... Excellent work .. The face and leather are great. One thing I noticed and it is a tiny detail is the piping for panzer crews was pink and should be on the officers cap as well as the shoulder boards .. The rest looks awesome . I too wish we could click on the pictures to see them in full screen .. on all news and photo features ..

Wittmann was in the SS division "leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" or LSSAH. SS panzer crews didn't have pink piping on their uniforms, the Heer did though.

Hi Jason .. the SS had the pink piping for their panzer crews same as the Heer . A quick google search of both SS panzer uniforms and head gear will show the shoulder boards and officers crush caps with pink piping.
