Nice looking Hetzer
But it is not destroyed ???????

yeap its not destroyed. but if its destroyed then it would not live another day to tell a story rite?
wat im trying to depict is this tank has battle damaged and still survive to tell the story.
btw, i cant seem to find the purple heart campaign folder. is there any? can somebody help?

Sure but Purple heart rules are the following:

Kits must have obvious battle damage. ie: dents, bent fenders, broken tracks.
- Chipped paint and mild scratches won't be enough.
- All types of land based kits are eligible for this campaign. ie: tanks, wheeled vehicles, amphibious

just to tell you

seb

thank you seb, i appreciate it.

but here is something i want u to do.
take a closer look at the tank. observe.

yes i do have paint chipped off and also major scratches caused by the tank crew gettin on and off by stepping ard the back of the tank with their metal stud boots and also the long period in the battlefield brushing against lots of things which could scratch the side of the tank's surface..

yes i have bent fenders, look closer. its not a perfect straight.

yes i do have missing pieces of the side plating which originally there's suppose to be 3 on each side. right side i put the front 2 and on the left i put the last piece. this is to depict the side platings were ripped off during battle.

Operational Overview
Damage...Damage...Damage...is what typically results when vehicles engage in combat or simply perform simple task in hostile environments. The point of this campaign is to showcase your destructive skills and making everyone believe that your kits has gone through hell and back so as to tell a story.

From the smallest dent to pierced armor, this campaign hopes to recruit all modellers willing to create some battle damage on their kits. The scenario could either be based on a true account or completely fictional.

Hi Danial,

For starters, i do think you did an excellent job on the weathering of your tank and the general wear and tear look that it has.

To be fair on the other entrants into this campaign, i was hoping that there would be a little more damage on it. What you could do perhaps is to attach some of the missing and bend them a little or even have some burn marks on the sides?

In the end, i dont want members to debate on how much damage IS battle damage. I would just like to encourage modellers to be creative with their builds. I dont want the list of rules to dictate how you do your builds, there were merely there as guidelines.

Hi Guys
I dont want to agrue with anyboby here, just helpimg people

cheers
Seb

ya, same here. lets juz say everyone has their own way of depicting things.
cheers..
