Construction began this afternoon, and I got a lot done!! The hill top is only dry fit to the lower hull rub for the moment.

The Tamiya Panzer IV is more detailed than the Panzer III kits they make -which are still really really good in their own right.

So here we are, and I’ll get back to it tomorrow.

Looks very nicel. I like your weathering/washes/accents. To me, very much in scale.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

LOL! Loving the idea and certainly not stupid at all, sounds like a great idea for a bit of fun. Nazi - Zombies is a genre anyway, so why not.

I need to check out Heavy Metal though, I've not seen that - sounds cool!

Just make sure that when you watch Heavy Metal that no young kids are around. It’s quite adult in its’ stories.

LOL! Thanks for the warning Carlos - I watched the B-17 story on YT this morning. I didn't realise the film was an anthology, I assumed what Ken was talking about was the plot whole movie.

Oh no, it’s a series of short stories loosely tied together by a single element/charecter. All based on the 70’s/80’s era magazine. Great stuff to see when it came out, or later at midnight movies. Not your Saturday morning or Disney cartoons… :whistle:

The first full story past the introduction, Harry Canyon, has something of a resemblance to The Fifth Element. :whistle:
