panzer II

[dubster72]

It looks really good with some colour on John. My favourite part is the painting & weathering stages & I reckon I've left various bits n pieces of kits all over the place - losing PE is my specialty!

That's really good John! The shading is subtle but very effective. I'm wondering how much of your hard work & skill will be visible in the finished model though!

If the outside is as good as the inside, this will be very special.

Hello dub well when it's finally finished you should see....... The very top of one of the chairs in the right light and the right angle..lol

No jokes aside the reason ive took do long is the speed that I get through models..plus I've never really built a detailed inside really a waste of time but it slows me down which is good on the pocket...

Thanks for your kind words

got some more done while i was painting this i realised that there going to be two more colours going on here so you wont probably see the post shading oh well least i get to try my new airbrush...

 

[geegad]

got the base coat on and the transfers then a little matt gloss before the hair spray comes along

 

[dubster72]

I reckon you've done really well there John, you can see the shading coming through. Are you planning a worn-through coat of desert yellow over the panzer grey?

Patrick

 

[geegad]

I certainly am bud its the next phase were it could all go a bit Pete tong.!!

Cheers for looking in and the encouragement means alot

John

 

[dubster72]

Looking forward to seeing witg but the only thing I'd mention is that the Afrika Korps insignia would have been painted on over the desert sand coat, not straight from the factory.

 

[geegad]

Don't tell me that now noooooo!!!!!!! Dam Nazi's

 

[dubster72]

Sorry! Wish it wasn't so but the factories didn't know where the tanks where going, plus the Panzerarmee Afrika was kind of an ad-hoc formation, so most paint & markings were done in-theatre.

 

[geegad]

well got ths hairspray chipping done might add a few more here and there but ready for the nxt phase

hope you like what u see...??
