Bruce

Looks good, Jeff. That tank has really seen some wear and abuse.

Thanks for sharing

Here is an update on my Sd.Kfz. 223. I have now finished basic painting and done some light chipping of the paint. Next is the decals and the weathering. I will finish it as a 9. Panzer division vehicle from the invasion of Yugoslavia.

More to follow soon....

Nice one Jesper, and I really like this vehicle! Hope to see some more pics from you soon. I'm almost done with my diorama, but even now I'm writing with one hand and holding my little son with the other... This works when you want to post something here or check your email, but it doesn't make model making any easier .
I hope to post pics of finished stuff this month anyway .

Andrzej

Jesper - at last we have waited for !
I wait for final effect

I have completed my PZInż. 126. I try show it in next week.
At now, I haven't a lot of time but I make figure of Polish officer from 1939.

Adam

Thanks for the comments, Andrzej and Adam. I expect to work a lot on it this weekend, so I might even finish it over the weekend.

Now, back to the work table.

hello Jesper,
your build looks great,thanks for the photo's and the update.

cheers,
Bruce

Thanks, Bruce. I appreciate it

Decals are now on and the first wash applied together with some light sand pastels. Later some of the pastels will be rubbed off. Then some dust will be sprayed on by airbrush. Finally a light wash should tie everything together. That is the plan anyway

More updates over the weekend.

Hi Jesper - this looks better every picture .
BTW - what do you use to perform the wash?

Andrzej

Thanks Jesper and Bruce for the comments.Jesper I really like your build,thats a pretty cool looking kit.How did you do the exhaust effect? And are you planing on having it in a Dio or any figures on it or around? Cant wait to see the finished product ! Jeff

Thanks for the comments, Jeff and Andrzej.

The exhaust is painted with a mix of Citadels "beastial brown" and plus model brick dust. Works easy every time and the result is always satisfactory for me. I think other ingredients might be just as good, but this works for me and is exrtremely cheap. I guess a couple of Euros pr. 100-150 AFV exhausts





Here is a short run down of what I use for the weathering.

First a brown wash with Windsor oil paint mixed with terpentine. Simply vary the amount of terpentine in the wash depending on how dirty the AFV should look.



Second a "dabbed on" mix of sand pastels mixed with terpentine. After this has dried just rub of excess pastels. This works well both on tracks and wheels.



Lastly a light coat of dust by spraying sand yellow from underneth the AFV. I know some like to spray from above and let the "dust" settle from above. In my experience it gives much better results to spray from underneth the AFV.



All in all a very simple process with cheap products. At least on this Sd.Kfz. 223 I am very satisfied with the end result.

Here is my finished Sd. Kfz. 223. I am really satisfied with the result and I plan to include the Sd. Kfz. 223 in a diorama.
I have made a Tamiya NCO to fit into the otherwise to open turret. He looks angry, so I am planning to have him yelling at some tankers getting wine onboard their Pz. IV. I will use Dragons Pz. IV tank crew set for that. Anyway, that will probably not be before the end of this campaign.
Comments welcome

That 223 looks really good Jesper.

hello Jesper,
your build looks great to me.thanks for showing us how you do the weathering,that is going in my file on weather styles.
cheers,
Bruce
PS remember we have about 3 months to go with this campaign,lots of time to build your PZ IV if you want.

Nice lookin' 223!!

I'm about to jump in too with Heller's R35 and 25mm AT-gun and I'm throwin'in CMK's 35(t) to... just to balance things out..
Pic's will be added very soon!!

Hello everybody
