Nice progress. How much does a set of Friels go for these days ? I don't buid many tanks lately(or ever) J

Joel,Shawn and Harv, Thanks all,for the very very generous comments ! J

Oh believe me,the daily aches and pains remind me of my mortality all the time ! Thanks though buddy, J

Tim and John, Thanks for the kind comments guys ! J

Thanks Bill, I am using lead foil for the slings,as usual. I find the PE examples to be very hard to get into position. I did use a PE slide adjuster on the rifle sling though. J

Thanks Gaz, I appreciate it buddy ! J

Here is the squad leader finished tonight. Happy to answer any questions as usual, J

Nice beginnings on the main workhorse of the Panzerkorp for the entire war.

Thanks for the continued support Bill ! J

Thank you Lothar,I am happy if you think I succeeded here as that is my favorite thing to try and get across. The emotion. Not easy with plastic,or oil paint,or sculpting. I have always been fascinated by the great artists like DaVinci,etc. J

Thanks buddy J

I also got a set of liners for the helmets in case you want to show them upside down somewhere. And some beautiful Garand rifles as well ! Awesome versions and it includes wonderful bayonets as well.

I received a set of LIVERESIN german helmets to day and I am pumped ! This is the only 1/35 sample anywhere that has the rolled lip around the bottom edge that was used on the vast majority of wartime helmets. Here you can compare. Look at the helmets and not the position of them. The second pic is the dragon version.

This is the set of PE I always recommend to anyone wanting to add detail to a 1/35 german fig. Lots of other uses as well.
