I'd like to thank my son for letting me use his 1/72 Airfix Panther. The rocks are made from bark sprayed black, painted grey then highlighted in a light grey, stuck together with a glue gun. I'd also like to thank Lysus for a brilliant SIG idea, it's great fun. :thumb2: :clap: :bow::

THAT is pretty cool, glad the Nazis didn't have one
The red Cylon-like light would freak me out if I cam across this beast

Fracking awesome sir, he looks great in his setting, i like the tank there, adds a great sense of scale.... maybe your son will donate it full time :think:

Nicely done, man. Ma.K look achieved! This is what I like about these kits, you can do ANYTHING and feel good about it. The mini-dio and tank make it sizzle, great work!

The sandy color and the red eye are excellent compliments to each other, makes the goofy HyGog* look sinister.

:clap:

* Full disclosure, I've always liked that design for all its weirdness, so I'm a bit biased...

That's a crakkin build man. :jd: Given time I'm sure the Maus would have evolved into something like that.
You Rock!
