Sculpting looks good as well

Great opportunity to do variation on the camo as well

Thanks for sharing

Not my thing, but man that is a purty!

Yup!

I love it! I especially like how the phones squash his face up!

Exceptional paintwork on this one. You can see the texture on the materials and he even painted one of the numbers that can be found on this camouflage pattern, look at the cap!

Just a few comments on the sculpt, or let me say questions, as I'm not 100% sure: the smock has the foliage loops of late pattern smocks, but the pattern and cut of an early one....can that be correct?
Besides I'm surprised to see a camo smock on a panzer soldier, haven't seen pictures of that before. Anyone?
Well, with Germans you never know, so let me not be too harsh here.

There is photographic evidence of the smock worn by SS panzer crewmen , the early edition of the osprey men-at-arms 'Waffen SS' shows a PZ 111/1V commander wearing the smock and camo cap. Having said that the figures field grey jacket under the smock is more in keeping with a panzergrenadier or recce officer. The camo patterns on this example are superbly painted but the herringbone twill effect on the cap is not right. They were made from cotton duck material and the 'Palm trees' pattern on the late war smock is not typical , although I have seen a photo of an SS officer wearing a panzer jacket in palm tree pattern, something I have never seen before so like you say, you never know.
