 Is that the model, or the modeller?
Only joking Chris, looks very strange, and huge in size when compared to the figure in front of it.
Cheers

I hope my next is always better

Definitely both!! The Grenadier gets another outing Kev.
With the two halves of the Minenraumer S joined the wheels were added. These are the weakest part of the kit with the locating pins and holes being not very distinct. The etch brass exhaust guards were also fitted and these helped hide the fact that the exhausts didn't quite match the locating holes. Flory washes of Grime, Sand, Brown and Grey were used with Citadel Seraphim Sepia and Nuln Oil used for rust and highlighting. Revell Black weathering powder was used for the exhaust stains.
It's finished as a 'What if' with Panzer Grenadier Division 'Grossdeutschland' in the Kurland area Jan/Feb 1945. One of the options in the kit is for a machine in New Swabia. This is the Neu Schwabenland featured in W.A.Harbinson's book 'Genesis', as mentioned when I brought the Haunabu II kit to the Club. A 130 ton narrow-tracked vehicle in Antarctica, I don't think so!!!

Curious vehicles indeed with a distinct Warhammer look. Nice models and enlightening notes, thanks Chris.
