This one is for the most part done. Heavy mud went on the tracks and lower hull. I used mud from the scenic factory. Over all it is a nice product but the kursk mud has a touch too much grass effect for my liking. I ended up mixing it with the ardennes mud and it worked well. The base was made following the directions in the video on the site. Like I said this one is on a simple base.. no rubble or bricks or any of that mess. I still have to put the antennas on and a few small nickle and dime things. So one more update with a final.
I will also say the camera had a tough time with the colors for some reason. Have to play with that as well.
And on the base drying..
Thanks for stopping by, and on a final note if you use this mud product it is messy as all get out. And no tide or shout will not get it out.

Here is the final update for this tank. I added the antennas and an MP-40 for the wounded figure. Of course that MP-40 just happens to land on one of those spots you have to remove from the fenders.. the luck. This one is headed to either show or a contest this weekend, I am not sure which. It gets lost in translation. Any way here are the final pics in the setting sun so that the depth of field is a little better. Enjoy and thanks for looking.
You will also have to forgive the background. I am do not have a fancy tent nor the desire to try to make one over here.

Thanks!!, it is a strange little creature. I was looking for a normal PZ III but the shop only had this. In the end it was a fun build, just those tracks... that I ended up covering in mud so I could have just left alone. The base is a piece of slate borrowed from a river bed in one of the parks here. I liked the layered look and it seemed ready made for the little tank.
