Hi all,

Looking for some views on my Elefant, First model in a long time!

tried a lot of new techniques out here and it it my first airbrushed finish, I think it has come out pretty good. If you comment can you please point out what I did good as well as bad as I am only starting out.

Just need to finish off the metal tracks.

Good job on a first airbrush camouflage. I think you got to close to the model with the airbrush a couple of places. This is causing the edges of the camouflage lines to be of different softness.

Overall nice job - looking forward to see it with the tracks on

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Jesper.

I see what you mean with the softness of the edges. Hopefully I will have the tracks finished over the weekend!

Thanks for the comments,
Phil.

I think it looks good! Field applied camo is far from perfect

Thanks kevin.

I have been working in the track today. How tedious!

I will try and get some better photos with the track on when I am done.

Thanks,
Phil

Looks to be a very nice build and paint job, I would suggest you look up some of the threads on photographing your finished gem though.

The Zimmerit is photo etched stuff from eduard. It is good, but next time I would like to give it a go myself. The only problem I had was a bit of CA got on to my thumb and then I got it stuck to the Zimmerit which has left a mark on it!

Yes the photos are poor, I never have been a good photographer. I think I will have a look at some threads now as I have a Hetzer that I have just finished for the White Washed campaign waiting to be photographed.

Thanks for the comments,

Phil,
Nice looking so far. I like the camo. Can't wait to see it with the treads on.
