Outstanding work, no question about it. In terms of level of difficulty, complexity, and eye appeal of the camo job I would have to say the Panther with the speckled pattern takes the prize. Can you say $500 each on Ebay?? I can easily see these fetching at least that much and maybe more if you should ever decide to put any of them up for auction.

re Sturmtiger

Post by ARMY GROUP 1 » Sun Oct 07, 2007 9:06 pm

outstanding work, would love to have it with my troops. On Ebay you would get your return for all the effort, I certainly would give it a shake even though I have 4 already. Just a small thing all 4 of mine have 20 tiny holes in a circle around the inner barrel at the front to exhaust fumes. I think you just need to drill just a fraction, to give the effect the holes are there, say 1mm in depth and pin head width. Just a thought, but only do it if does not damage this fine piece.
