Very nice as usual. The barber pole aiming stakes on the back are a nice touch.

How do you feel about miniatures crewing your vehicles? I just finished a Tamiya Flakvierling half track and it's got five figures and it's probably my weakest skill.

You know what would have been a cool Wunderwaffe?

A giant artillery piece, like the rail mounted one, but mounted on a platform. Connected to three tanks, but with a swivel connected to the platform instead of a gun.

Basically a giant tank mounted artillery piece

Vader you da' man! Your modeling work is such an inspiration. I built models as a kid waaaaay back when. Each and every time I see your completed kit I am tempted to start again. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Darth.

I thought about you the other day because, in my internet perusing, I came across a model train locomotive that was a German WWII steamer in a winter camo paint scheme.
