Very cool!
The wheels on my Zu Fuss don't turn.
How did you get yours to do that?

In the background I think I see a certain short, mustached, German who dabbles in real estate (a little piece of Poland, a little spot of Greece - all I want is a little piece!). First name starts with "A", his last name begins with "Hit" and ends with "ler"

Toyktdlgh, Nice job!!!! I like the fact the front wheels turn. Would you tell us how you did that? Why did 21st make this without the front MG-42 and shield? :roll:
As Razor pointed out there is a fellow in a brown coat in the background...... what figure did you use?

Naaaa, you must be seeing things. They never made him in 1:18 :D :D :D

As for the steering, it really wasn't all that hard to do.

Love it. I wish 21C had put the forward machine gun on the production ones.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. You never really know if you did good till you get some feedback. I really like this custom however I didn’t do the best job at filling those holes on the nose. Still, since its mine and not eBay fodder it will do just fine. I will post some pics of my German leader a bit later when I have some more time.

Do you have more detailed shots of the steering mechanism?

Great work! I also customized the shield on my Stuka zu Fuss and it greatly improves the look of the vehicle.
