I'll send few more pictures later after take it outside.
I know that ferdinand had a 6 man crew, I haven't finished the sixth guys, because I have to paint this figure with pea patern camouflage, and I'm running out one of my paint or you can suggest that the sixth guy was take this photograph :-)

Hi Iron Duke first welcome to the site ... Second don't paint your figures with the pea pattern camo as this was used by the SS and not the army ...The ferdinands were only used by the 653rd and 654th which were army units and not part of the SS. Keep up the good work. Also forgot to mention that the Pea pattern camo only appeared in 1944 and by that time all Ferdinands had been upgraded to the Elephant .
