The tracks in the snow look cool. If I did not recognize the radio man it would look real. Good job.

1958ZELDA:

Those first three photos look like a scene from THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE movie. Really impressive.

Zelda, thank for your support. I willprobably have many more questions for you in the near future. I have learned more about customizing from looking at your work than I could have otherwise. I just finished a winter tiger with zimmeret made with green putty. This was inspired by your custom Panther and Tiger. I have also completed painting all 10 of my Africa Corp figures for the movie. Many other customs have followed these projects. You have been a beacon of light for me. I can't wait to see more from you soon. Before I go I was wondering how you aquired the balloon tires for the Kubelwagon. I want to use mine for the movie but I don't have the right tires. I haven't ever posted pics but I hope to be able to do so shortly. Thank you very much for all the inspiration. That goes for everybody on this forum. I enjoy everyones efforts with cutomizing and scratch building in the 1:18 scale. MediumP, I want to see that completed Priest. Some guy by my house has a real one without the howitzer just rusting away on his lot. I will flic this also and try to post it.
