Very nice work on the commander figure just one thing there were no black peaked caps other than algemeine ss and early ss ones before the war started. they wore field grey peaked caps with their black panzer wrappers and field grey wrappers
Thanks Pzrwst for the info,
I did about a dozen of these H L commanders in several ''flavors'' to go with my custom H L Tiger 1 tanks I was selling. That was several years ago before I got bitten BIG TIME buy the Tamiya tank bug and found the Danville battlefield. I soon began buying research books and with color diagrams I made some Abteilung specific commanders. With my nickname at work being ''The Commander'' I had to make them look good......LOL. Here are some pix of another commander you can see how small he looks in the giant Jagdtiger. The Kubel driver is my boy Fritz. He knows layout of the Danville battlfield like the back of his hand. Try the the paint stick technique. I works for me.

Here are a few more pix. I really like painting the figures very much. But they are low priority to to getting tanks done! I really had a blast building ans selling the soldiers with the cameras built into them but I just don't have the time anymore..... Bob
