Well Mr.Race I'm afraid Cohan has gone to bed! :sad:
He's very particular about when to sleep and when to take part,(he LOVES the previous!! )
But here he is in his favourite "going to sleep" hammock just a few minutes ago...

Looks tiny there eh?... In actual fact he's 16" long from nose to tail

Nice Camo on the lizard Smiffy....what scale is he?

Actually it's all his own work Rick!!.... But in true "Sloth like" mode, it's taken him nearly 4 years just to get to that stage,the slacker!!

Ok then Chaps,
I've had enough of trying to get some decent pics done,(some that actually represent what it actually looks like!!),so these will have to do :sad:






It's been a great kit to do,and as I've said many times, I'd totally recommend it :smiling3:
I'm sure you all could make a better job of it than I have,but I'm fairly happy,and it's been a good testing ground for a few things that I don't have a lot of experience in
..... As an aside,my last two AFV builds have both been Tank destroyers... A Canadian Achilles and this German Hetzer,both of which would've fronted up after Normandy, here's a quick pic of the difference in size between the two......

Quite amazing in my mind!!
Thanks ALL for your thoughts and comments, and even just for looking in :smiling3:
Cheers,
Andy

Just caught up again, enjoyed the descriptions and do like the camo finish, looking forward to your next build.

Evening Mister Meister.

Nice build & I love the camo. I must give it a bash at some point.
Funnily enough I was surprised how big the Hetzer is side by side with the Achilles.
Mind you, I only have a vague idea what's going on at the best of times.

I look forward to the finished result.
