I've had a bit of a break from modelling/painting and needed a little bit of a kick to get going again.
It was my Birthday last week and as a little treat I went to the Tank Museum in Bovington in England. It had some really impressive stuff ( King Tiger, the ONLY remaining Sherman DD, Panthers etc). On being "Up Close" with a Tiger 1 it got me motivated to do some more Weird War stuff.
I finally finished my "Gunther" walker by Dust Games and another three armored fighting suits.

Here's the Gunther:


And here's me pretending to be the proud owner of a Tiger 1:


Anyone who hasn't been to Bovington, I highly recommend it!!!

BTW: Anyone tell me what "Armoured Fighting Walker" would be in German please?

Happy Birthday, PM, and that´s SUCH a lovely beastie you´ve got there. And thanks for not applying camo spots. Just wouldn´t look right on it, methinks.

Thanks for the comments! :)

Cheers Lt.Hazel. I take it that "Panzerkampfläufer" would be "PzKpfl" then?

Thanks Chris! I thought Camo would be a bit of a waste of time as it's so big!!!

You look different without your top hat, shades and the haircut :lol:

That looks fantastic! Any chance of seeing a scale shot with a 28mm fig in the pic? Really inspiring!

Ha, I'm in disguise. I didn't want to frighten the staff at the tank museum!!!!

Ref: Size Comparison. I'll set up some minis with the finished product but I put these pre-paint pictures in another post.





Thank you for the comments!!
