The first project for 2014

The Maus kit from Dragon has been in my stash for more than 10 years. It's been a test model for painting and practising in new techniques. I decide to give it more attention and built this monster in it's training version with the concrete tower.

I must  add the bottles for the CO2 extinguishing system and it is ready for painting

Happy new year
My first built for 2014 is a command version of panzer I  from Masterbox with minor improvements with wire and lead foil.  Markings from the French Campaign and crew came from Bronco with Verlinden heads(old stock).Painted in enamels with acrylic base.
I create  a small base with some foliage  pigments and dirt added.
. The whole project was a pleasure and I enjoy the hours spend in this little tank.
