"Anthrozit-grau" may have been the dark gray used in that brown-over-gray scheme from 1938 - 1940. Reputed by some to have been darker than that dunkelgrau used per regs from JUL 1940 into early 1943.

For what it may be worth, I think the Vallejo "German Grey" looks pretty nice right as a "dunkelgrau" from the bottle, and has a bit of blueness - all to the good. It MAY be a little dark for a "typical" dunkelgrau job and perhaps wants a slight fading to lighten up a bit. I plan on doing a light wash of this mixed with some beige or white to give some fading on my Pz. II J before I move on to do the camo (probably with something like a "gelbbraun" or "light khaki" color.).

The straight Vallejo German grey may well be a good player for the next brown-over-grey early war panzer I do! Vallejo also offers a dark-looking German camo brown which may be appropriate or pretty close to that brown used in the 1938 scheme.

Cheers!

It's been a while but I think I'm call this complete as I have not had much time due to the birth of my daughter back in October. Had fun with this campaign and enjoyed other people builds. Now on the the stug campaign and hopefully complete that campaign in time while trying to be a new father.

Calling this done now, it's been one of my longest builds, what with interior and fixing lights inside and the figures. But happy with outcome.
I will take some more images for the gallery, battery ran out as I was taking these last ones.
Micheal Wittmanns Tiger 1 S04 with interior, and crew and ground crew on winter base.










some sepia images



I will get the new images on the gallery asap.

Cheers Pete

Very cool Pete. The guy on the rear deck has a good look to him.

Thanks Marc
Here is some more recent pics.

Lokks like one of the crew had a pee.

















Will upload a couple to the gallery

really enjoyd this build.

Cheers Pete

great work on that tiger, would love to do some work on the B&W photos, add some noise, some "damage" you could get close to "I was there, this is theoriginal photo i carried with me"....

Thanks Robert

Oh anyone help? I can't upload to gallery, was in the right place but they don't appear after they upload.


Pete

Great Tiger Pete, I wish my skills allowed me to build such a great model.

Rob

Thanks Robert glad you like it. As far as skills go just keep building buddy, and it will come to you. I am sure you are capable of something equally good.

Pete

Mike, I love the III's, nice work, and welcome to the Dad's club!

Peter, very nice work in the Tiger!

Regards

Alvaro

Thanks Alvaro.

Still can't upload my pictures to the gallery. Any suggestions?
I even deleted some of my photos from my account so there was enough room.

Pete

perhaps there is a filesize limit for uploads? not sure as never had problems... must say i do like your build as well

Very nice Tiger, Peter!

Metal tracks assembled. Test fitting of the tracks in progress:

Nice Panzer Vegard. Metal tracks will look good when painted.

Pete

Pete, no idea about the upload, I could add without troubles.



Alvaro

There is a size limit of photos in the gallery, they can only be 800x600 or smaller. I use paint.net to down size my pics. It is a free program and easy to use. There are others which can do the same thing. This should help you with your situation.

IF you have Microsoft Office, you will most likely have the Microsoft Picture Manager, which allows you to do many things, including lots of simple and some more-complex "photo-correction and editing", including cropping, darkening, color-shifts, etc. It also supports a very quick and easy size-reduction tool.

Hi everyone!

Here is my entry and I hope you all like it. One of my first attempt at armor modelling and weathering using my favorite tank. It was an awesome build and I learned so much!

Recently, I donated this model to a charity auction hosted by Department of Immunology, University of Toronto. Lots of my friends were interested but a professor's husband bought it.

Thanks for the replies re the photos, I ended up taking pics with my phone, not ideal but never had a problem before, and they uploaded fine. So file size must have been the issue.

Pete

A due update. Zimmerit finished a few days ago. Now running on a tight schedule!

Merry Christmas to all!

I finally got a base coat of paint on my 1/35 Tamiya Panzer IIIL.

My Italeri IV H is at the stage I usually get hung up at, base coat on but needing camo. I know each crew painted their own tank, and it would seem they look similar within a platoon at least; but would the entire division or battalion be wearing the same type of scheme? E.g. 2nd panzer division 8th company wears green/brown stripes and spots, but would 6th company necessarily have the same type of pattern?

Hello,

here is my kit for the campaign : the old Sturmtiger Italeri kit bought ten years ago ...









I still have a lot of things to do (weathering, tracks ...).

I post some pictures on my blog.

I'm going back to work : I have a kit to finish

I just finished that kit over at the Big Guns Campaign good luck with those tracks they are a pain
Lots of great working showing up here as we approach the finish line

Getting real close to the end date of this campaign now. Feeling the pressure to get the build done.



Took this photo after mounting the left tracks and I've since mounted the right tracks. Didn't add pigments to the drive sprockets since I knew I had to fiddle with those when putting on the tracks. Same with return rollers. Those parts will get the pigment treatment tomorrow.

Satisfied with the overall weathering, might do some reduction on the area below the turret.

The weathering mimics operations in the spring/early summer in Norway.
