Hoping all figures done now, searching for composition and how to mount the sitting gunner with machine pistol. Brick wall looks wrong in this scenario, and I dont think I can blend it into terrain without it looking silly. Awooden fence perhaps, much easier to make, or some boxes with jerry cans ?

Does the seated figure fit onto the Pz. IV at all? Maybe in front of the turret, near the driver and possibly being a second set of eyes for him?

Andrew, I had purchased it originally for turret rear on stowage box before Jeff Shiu did this set. He doesn't really fit anywhere else on turret as he has a huge chunk cut out of his backside to sit properly on the bricks.
I'm leaning towards placing a tree trunk or broken down fence corner post for him, as I think it's likely to be easier to construct. I'm thinking outside the town, so don't need too much urban, maybe Tank in a depression to elevate the 3 non mounted figure up so not hidden by the tank, as can see no point in having them between viewer and tank as would only see their backs. Not sure on my ability to create the required parts however

Wonder if he'd go on a stug III, I'm waiting on that kit and its figure less

He might just be sitting on a rock/ground, watching the tank go by. Perhaps slightly lower than the two standing figures to create a layered effect by carving the foam block. Just a thought. You could always add a cube of ice to the single malt in pic ten and take a while to contemplate. Nice work by the way.

Thanks for both ideas Rewop, the foam was just fo hold the figure and see what height may achieve, rock certainly is achievable by me. Single malt, absolutely, my poison of choice in winter, summer here now so swap to G&T, working ga nice Japanes dryblend at the moment.
