here it is, Muddy and yes it has brown and green grass mixed into the dried mud and the gunner figure for the top mg is still in the re-paint process. Only things I might add are stowage to the back and of course I have real wire for new and more realistic antenna

oh and this pic seems greener that it is in reality
the camo netting is more black green, some moss green with some brown mixed in

anyone interested in owning this one?

it is a swamp thing
I am thinking about making a muddy, excuse me, extremely muddy diorama for it. as soon as I myself am not bogged (pun) down in my RL artwork. I need more time. I am working on a hetzer and trying to scratch build the periscope and remote MG shield. Then I have a set of SP gun crew by Dragon to load into one of these marders if i could just get to them.
Bah

which set, the wintergear ones? been trying to snag one of those for Grille I have sitting on the table.

these,
i don't know how well they line up on the IIIm but the III should handle them, might have to cut down on crew members as i don't think marders had that many in the gunner area

ah the Su-76 crew from Miniart..they should work..

No I was speaking of a older set of 4 DML figures, one walking with jerry can, 2 on board SPG, and a 4th doing something..all in later war spliter-came winter gear.

Dragon made this set for thier Marder IIIH

Might work better than the Su-76i crew.

Oh,
Panzer_H yeah those are the ones I got. I knew the box looked wrong on the ones I posted, but yeah those are the ones i have
guess I need to get out the winter camo pigments and weathering sticks.

also, on my stug, do you guys think I should take some of the netting off and let it breathe? I do.
I have used this stug to experiment with just about everything but draped fabric which are coming up next as an AR flag
So what do you think ?
and if it needs a haircut , where and how much off the top?
