Just arrived in the post last night Grin

Haven't got my Pendraken panzers handy for a size comparison but it seems a little bigger, as expected. Forgive my ignorance, but are Panzer Depot miniatures resin? It feels 'plasticky'Silly

The turrets are sorta 'blutacked' on, so I'll glue them in place and base it to match the rest of my collection. It measures just shy of 50mm in length though, I think the MDF bases I got from Pendraken are 40x30 so I'll chop one of the 50 square artillery bases to make a 50x30 for it.

Fingers crossed, it will mix ok with the Pendraken minis I already have, failing that it's a cool looking tank nonetheless!

Looks good to me, it will be bigger than the Pendraken ranges, but there isn't much choice for that tank.

Quality seems alright, I was expecting metal but it appears to be resin or plastic sort of material. The packaging was robust and the turrets blutacked in place so they didn't rattle about in transit. They are prepainted which may be an issue if you want them to match your existing collection. I haven't had a really good appraisal of it yet though, so unfortunately my poor phone photography is the best guide to the quality I can offer!

I think the different scale will be exaggerated by the bigger base I'm havin to mount it on though.
