No.

The color plastic looks like the stuff 3D printers use. It's Grunt at his finest! And to anyone who thinks 3D models are easy, they're not.

Takes a whole new set of skills.

Thanks guys. Yes, Battleground Toys is the name of the shop. It seemed like a good time to formalize things a little bit.
I will know more by months end on what the Puma will cost. It my goal to make these items as affordable as possible, given the limits of short run manufacturing.
The Jagdpanther is a custom I made using a 21st Panther and the Hun's Jadg conversion kit. Pictures of her running around outside here:

As you will have the SDKFZ 234 base, any chance for a 234/1 reccon version ?

My thinking exactly Phil! Like this perhaps?
This is with the Pickel 222 turret. Seems like it would be easy to tweak it to be a 234-1 turret with some adjustments to the divider placement on the screens and reduce the turret sides to a single plate versus 222's multi-plate sides?

well then you're going to have to do a /4 pakwagen as well. It's the coolest variant of them all.
