Marder III

[Evan August]

Hi guys, here are some pics of my Marder III. I'm going out of the box on this one. I had a metal barrel, but I decided that it wasn't that great. The kit barrel is actually pretty good itself. I am adding Warriors' SS crew in winter gear. I'll be placing it in a diorama with Dragon infantry. It will be painted Panzer Gray with a worn white wash.

Coming out just fine.
This kit is a treat to build.

Looks like you are off to a great start Evan.

and 2nd FJ Kirovograd 6157:

These will recieve Warriors or Hornet heads in the regular infantry helmets to convert to Waffen SS.
I don't think I have any real great pictures, and if I did, I lost them last week when my computer crashed.

Looks great!

I remember there are two amazing SP gun crews from Tristar,but not in winter gear.

Thank you Hu Min! I thought about the Tristar figures, but they are more for the IIIM model and Dragon's Nashorn, and I wanted to a winter scene. But they are on the list of future projects.
Have a good one,
Evan

Here's an update. The gunshield has been been added, now it needs details like periscopes and gas mask canisters.
