Warlord Games Marder III

So I have been adding hard stowage to the Marder and trying to get the crew into position.

The gunner and loader have used heads with peaked hats from the Warlord German Grenadiers set. The commander has the right arm from the Grenadier set. Not quite decided what to do with the left arm. The jack does not really fit in the position from the instructions so I put it on the side panels above the block. A machine pistol has been hung from the base of the right hand folded up seat. Two water bottles from the ex Wargames Factory survivors are also glued to the side panels.
A turret bin from the PSC Churchill has been added to the track guard and a Rubicon large ammo crate from the Allied Stowage set has been tucked under the side plate. Another two water bottles and a Warlord Blitzkrieg helmet have also been added.
The ubiquitous bucket (another Rubicon item from the German Stowage set) is pinned under the exhaust and a Rubicon German jerry can with microstrip straps is glued to the rear right of the fighting compartment. The helmets on the seat backs are from the original heads for the crew, brutally cut off heads and then pinned under the seat cushioning.
Another two jerry cans are to be fitted on the right hand end of the fighting compartment.

The bucket, the bottles and the helmets need some Greenstuff hangings. Tarpaulins need to be added to the mudguards.
