PLASTICFANATIC, Man your good,damn good!! I've built a custom Jagdpanther and I know what it takes.......You've done a fantastic job! The paint scheme and weathering are top notch. The details on the tank and throughout your diorama are Museum quality!!! Every pic has something for the eye to look at...another part of the story.
The groundwork and buildings just add to it.

The one thing that's caught my eye in most of your posts are the figures.....
No shoulder, elbow or knee articulation points. What I'm trying to say is they don't look like 1:18th toy figures but rather 1:18th sculpted figures!
Great work! I hope you hang around SSHQ and become part of it.
Normandy.

His figures reminded of the 1:16th Verlinden, Dragon and Tamiya figure I was modeling about 12 years ago.
The only problem then was there was no armor, aircraft or vehicles to go with that scale.
Then 1:18th 21st Century Toys happened....armor, figures and so on...... at a price that was affordable.

So now we have great 1:18th figures with articulation, that can be posed, glued, (sand the joints) and painted. They'll look more like models than toys.

This is probably,no definitely the best quality 1:18 dio I have come to witness on this forum. The buildings are amazing, the tractor is great for the effect and the figures are painted very well. I love the amount of detail that was put into this. It made my day. Thanks.
