Default Making do with an old Tamiya dog.

Fortunately the crappy old Tamiya tanker can be found for around $12 these days, but with some rework and a new head, whad'ya think?

Still needs a good wash before paint, but I spent a little time digging out the undercuts to make the uniform have more depth.

I also had to eliminate the tie since Karl looks like he wore a sweater underneath the Panzer wrap.

I included a comparison of the kit head, I don't know what the heck they were thinking with that nose...
