That would make a nice pair with your King Tiger Ian. You could do it as part of Kampfgruppe Pieper

Looks nice Ian I particularly like the machine gun mounting. I think the mods have been at work and made my post from yesterday the actual group build for these cosford fiver kits so I think you should post your build in there mate if possible.

Its 1/48 Patrick so it wouldn't go, but the picture as given me an idea for a vignette.

Ah I didn't realise that! That's quite a famous picture of the notorious Pieper, who lived to be 91 I think. Who says being bad doesn't pay off?

I look forward to the build, Ian.
It was a good job it was still there when you finally decided to run off and buy it!

I know Ron but I had to run, I didn't want you to get your grubby hands on it.

I thought we might struggle finding stuff for a fiver, but we have a £3.00 and a £4.00 in the mix. Wow.

 

[papa 695]

Got some more done to this one, it's now looking like Fred Flinstones car.

I though so too Colin, but it turned there was any amount to choose from. The trick was to end up with something a bit wacky and different....and we all succeeded, didn't we?

Excellent start and looking good Ian.

 

[spanner570]

Yoo Hoo, are you there, Ian....any progress, old lad?

 

[papa 695]

I'm here Ron but sorry no progress, I will crack on with it this weekend promise

 

[papa 695]

Well I've made some progress on this one.

Yes but you won't see it once the boot goes on Tony.

 

[spanner570]

That is a surprise - such detail in something so small - from a plastic bag to boot!

Nice one Ian. Excellent little build.....
