discussion 1/16 Panzer Lehr

[SteveH]

Morning Peter

my one in 5 Saturdays in work, but a week off to sooth the day away

Your figure does look good, and all the better for being both a twist on the original and a less than perfectly moulded head.

There was a time, but you have moved passed that and your heads are getting better one by one.

I would "share" my retirement stash but its all 1:35, not your scale unfortunately.

Have a good day with the hands and bits

regards

Steve H

What's he thinking about Peter??:smiling3:

Nice touch with the dust work. I hope all the little bits go on well for you

Steve - Just remember that it's worth it for the week off - rotten weather anyway. Just taken a couple of deliveries of replacement busts from Peter at Sarnia. The originals are with him for display at Euro, so I've now plenty to do.

Corporal Jones - He's thinking ''I've bloody well had enough of this!'' Glad you like him.

He's finished:

All of the equipment to paint and add today, then after that some finishing off and varnishing. The base came with the CGS Miniatures Lehr figure I did a while ago, and I've just added some grass tufts and garden roots to liven it up.

I had a change of mind about this chap and decided to mount him on one of my recently completed dios:

You may remember that I also did two other set-ups, and as I wasn't that happy with one of them, I decided to redistribute the figures among the other two:

Also saves cabinet space.

Very nice indeed Peter. He certainly looks more at home with the rest of the rabble. Bit like me:smiling5:

Cor hes a.corker mate.Really has an air of an elite soldier with a look of tiredness and realisation that even Panzerlehr staff arent really helping turn the tide.Really nice conversion.

Fantastic work Peter.

Thank you People. Funny thing is that I felt that none of these figures was good enough to stand alone. Also a bit fed up with depicting Nazis, but this lot were great fun to do.
