Ha! One panzer ready for the rattle can.  :)

Fiddly in places - don't take this one on if you don't own tweezers or reading glasses. Laden with tools and spare tracks, might take a while to paint...



















Thanks for dropping by, back soon with more aerosol adventures  ;)

Now the fun can start.  :)

Sprayed, drybrushed and first coat of Klear. Ready for first wash...














Thanks for looking in, back soon with more hairy stick happenings... ;)

Ready for decals...










Thanks for looking in, back soon with more plastic panzer pandemonium  ;)


The option I've chosen is a Panzer 4 F from 14. Panzer Division, the unit in this colour footage - it was completely destroyed at Stalingrad...

Wash, brush, shade, highlight, wash brush, shade, highlight, spray to preserve. Quite a lot done to bring little details out, a final dusting and a light squirt of fixative, and I think I'm almost there as far as the top half goes...

























Thanks for looking in, back soon with more filthy fun  ;)

Yay!! It's filth time!  ;D

As usual, it's going to look messy for a while as I start out with very, very wet paint and washes then get a little drier every time - until I'm virtually dusting with powder (I call this my 'salvaging a mess method').  Real mud works counterintuitively to the way I normally work, the top layer of fresh, wet mud is darker. However, I'll be highlighting as a very last touch - it just makes the model look three-dimensional...yet another of those modeller's compromises. Anyhoo - time for yet another tea break while the wet applications sink down and dry...










Thanks for dropping by, back soon with more mud-bound mirth  ;)

Several applications later and I think I'll leave it at that for now. Looking forward to a relaxing day doing the crew figures and planning a base tomorrow.



















Thanks for looking in, back soon with more miniatures on the march  ;)

New! Improved filth!!

Textured, shaded, highlighted and generally cleaned up, wheels touched in and lightly weathered. That's the tank done.


















Right - time to meet the crew. Although they've got locating lugs and slots, there's plenty of leeway as far as positioning arms and heads go, it's worth checking the figures for fit before the glue goes off. These guys should really set the whole thing off once they're done...












Thanks as always for dropping by, back soon with more Ostfront observations  ;)

The finished article. The chaps look a bit jaundiced under artificial light. Anyway, I think I've earned a mug of tea.  :)


























Thanks for looking in, back soon with more injection-moulded mayhem  ;)



The only remaining Panzer IV (F), Victory Park, Moscow.

Pics taken in natural light show the figures off better, faces are just two applications - diluted Revell flesh and neat Army Painter flesh tone over a white undercoat. The better the figure, the better the effect.
















Anyone for blitzkrieg?





Final verdict: A finely detailed and relatively easy to assemble kit that sure as Hell looks like a Panzer IV to me. Tempted to get the 'variation on a theme' long-barrelled version with Afrika Korps figures.

Thanks for following, off to look at the stash - pretty sure I won't be going for Panzer grey.

To the next build...and beyond!  ;)

Looking forward to this build Andy.

By the way that lineup of German tanks looked awesome!
