I think you have done an awesome job ! Not a nit-pick but the MG 42 belts do not hang that way, they hang with a sort of twist to them. (I used to have a chunk of a 1944 head stamped belt)

First I'd like to say I'm so happy to ear your surgery is out of te way and went well. My father did open heart surgery for 30 years so I know ow that can be. Now...Excellent Jagdtiger! I was watching with interest and when you began the first paint schme I thought, "No!! All this beautiful PE and preshading and es going with Ambus instead of late war dunkelgelb, nooo!" lol I'm a sucker for the late war dark yellows or one of the dark yellows with thinner lines of one of the greens. It just makes vehicles with broad lines look so good! Yours looks amazing. With a veicel with suc large panels and lines, you can really get that realistic look wit the proper preshading, modulation,weathering, and scratches and rust. Well done sir!
Cheers from Missouri.

Thank for you the comments Nate, wow

Dan,
You've done a great job on this one and have motivated me to pull out my long stalled 'shelf queens' and take another run at them.
Two builds in progress, one with Jaguar interior and one vanilla.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks chaps, Mike you really need to get those JT's done buddy
Not been able to get too much done over the last few days as life has gotten in the way again but here is a small update.
Laid down a matt varnish on the shell case to take the high sheen off of it and added a few more MG42 cases. it's only a small update as I said
I still want to get a load more 7.92mm cases on the engine deck yet, it they take a while to cut and file from 0.2mm brass rod.
Enjoy folks and hopefully a bigger update soon.

Dan, I usually follow your builds nut missed this one somehow. Glad to see you're hard at it. WWII German isn't my cup I've tea but I look on as yoir technique is what grabs my attention. After watching your PE work I guess I better learn to solder the stuff. I was really good in my younger days soldering all kinds of avionics stuff. I never developed the knack for PE though. Your's is very inspiring. Thanks.
Regards,
Eric

Normal SOP for my figures, wiring and connector boxes to be added to headsets, rank and badges to be added from decals.
Heads are from Hornet, figure torso's are from Tamiya, set MM201

Still working on the figures,

I'll flesh out the wrists with Green Stuff epoxy putty later

Very nice indeed Dan! Are those Tamiya insignia decals, or archer transfers?

Thank you chaps,
Uniform decals are Tamiya that I'm using for the crew, no issues in applying them so far.

Love the painting of the crew uniforms. You really gave those fairly monotone uniform colours some depth with your painting and shading.
In the photos at least, I did kind of prefer them with the sheen though. I wonder what they would have looked like with just a light sheen to them, instead of the matte. Have you ever tried that before?

Thank you chaps
More painting on the head sculpt, not finished yet but getting close. Hands and hair next.
As for leaving clothing in a satin state, I'm not a big fan but I think it's okay if the clothing leather, most military fabric is totally flat in appearance so I aim for the same.
Cheers folks
