He's got some really good stuff, but his prices for each figure range between 40 and $60 so to put a crew on a panther like that would be quite an expensive proposition. You would probably have the most expensive tank on the battlefield. But if you follow the link to the artist's site you'll find many, many pages of very cool stuff.

Yep, the old saw applies - Cheap & good are often mutually exclusive terms

Ordering something isn’t exactly a point and click situation. I guess I’m supposed to email him with my request and then receive instructions for ordering? It’s tough being old and trying to be internet savvy.

I emailed him. I’ve just gotta have one of those panzer winter riders #JS120060 for my “Leningrad” Tiger1.

Wow, those figures are so realistic. Way better then Verlinden.

Tankster 05-20-2021 05:50 AM

I agree. Mine is being shipped as we speak. Super fast response for ordering.

Crius 05-20-2021 07:15 AM

How much was shipping to the states?

Tankster 05-20-2021 07:33 AM

$7.00. Hard to beat that.

They look fantastic. I wish somebody would make same quality figures of Soviet, US or British tank raiders.

MAUS45 06-01-2021 03:23 PM

Tankster, let us know when you get it. I am interested to see how log it takes.

Thanks,

Rudy

I sure will. He said it shipped via airmail. I just hope it’s not by carrier pigeon.

MAUS45 06-02-2021 07:01 AM

Thanks

Tankster 06-10-2021 12:42 PM

Got it today! I hope I can do it justice.

I'm looking forward to this one, and I hope you'll snap a photo or two along the way as you do the build. Maybe a shot after everything is in primer and then more shots as each piece gets assembled and painted? I think that would be very valuable information for a lot of people. Whenever the question comes up, what's the thing you like the least about the hobby, figure painting is a quite common answer. Hopefully you'll be able to show us a trick or two that will make it easier.

Tankster 06-11-2021 09:25 AM

I sure will, Max. No promises on the resulting quality but I’ll post pics during my attempt.

MAUS45 06-11-2021 11:51 AM

Wow, only took about two weeks to get here. I am looking forward to your progress updates.
