OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Hi Burkhard,
Nice painting style. Do you know what unit the double-eagle on the Pz VI in the backgroung represents?
Cheers,
Günter

Thank you Gunther,
The tank is from 3rd Panzer Regiment, 2nd Panzer Division in Russia 1943. I build a couple of years ago, but as far as I can remember, it was a personal family crest. I cannot remember the commanders name and I do not have the instructions anymore, so I cannot tell you which family. I just liked the looks!

Thank You Burkhard!
I think the man you mean is Ritter von Thoma who was appointed as his Commander in Vienna... maybe thats the reason for an Austrian Double Eagle

Would make sense... After all he was commander of the Regiment till he went into captivity in North Africa.
