Decided to make this into its own little diorama as I picked up the guys to go with it today.   Should be another icy winter scene from the Eastern Front. |

I know there isn't much in that kit, but this is just silly . Have you weathered it yet ? |

I have the feeling this kit comes as a complete set... so fast... very nice idea!
And I wonder, that middle guy, if one would paint him in bright colors, like he is wearing civilian clothes, say trousers and a coat with a hood, it looks like he could pose as a 'modern' guy? Or do you really see his helmet?

Nice fast work so far man! Love it! I agree with Bert, that middle guy could pass for a modern civilian on a rainy day. I also think the kneeling guy left front could too; just add a bill to the front of his helmet to make it look like a baseball-type cap. Cool!

As I was expecting, the fit of the figures would take some work. Had to remove the gunners seat to get him in. Should be able to sort something out.  |

Yes they are very old tamiya figures but with some work will work out well I expect.

Excellent start here, Tommy. I am sure you will get the figures to conform how you like.

You will just have to glue a seat to a figure instead of a figure to a seat  Looks good already! |

Those old school Tammy figures are certainly not the best, would like to see Mr. Nightshift deal with one of those |
