my main problem is : how to build a 5 parts crew for the HMG ( body - right leg - left leg - right arm - left arm ) ...

All I can say is look at the miniatures you have or not have which maybe the case. You may need to cut a leg/arm here or there to fit with the seating/deck plan. Look at the crews from both the Italian and German as well as their uniforms are quite generic in some cases, but not all. I view this from my point of view when I'm just using Perry Miniatures when converting miniatures for this sort of thing.

Best wishes,

Wow, if I hadn't seen your picture I'd have never even considered that car... the shop photos make it look like complete garbage.  :o

there is something wrong with the model : the tyres ... they look like ... nothing known ... ( and i think the vehicle is a bit to low ) ...

Yes, those are especially bad. At least you can potentially source tires elsewhere (a cheap diecast, press moulds of better tires, etc).

Great modelling features. I love the canvass draped over the drum.

So where does one get these 'John Hart' models, as they have some potential. Also, do you have a link for the Shapeways AA gun, as their search engine is crap?

Nice work and looking forward to your posting more pics. Don't worry about how long it takes you as long as you enjoy the ride.  :D
