I'm liking it a lot so far - I like the black undercoat idea, haven't tried that. I've seen others doing that and like the way it shadows things. Can you tell us a little about what you used for your groundwork - and your groundwork process?

I agree with DieselRocket. It's nice to see the venerable Pz. I. Now if Dragon could just bring us a new Pz II.
Base is looking good too. Is that the Dragon or Tristar kit?

Very nice work!
A question ... I like the black undercoating, and then you overcoat a light grey, and then it get's darker. What did you use for the light grey, and then what did you do to move to the darker grey?

Hi Joe .... my guess the grey got darker, when future (or another gloss coat medium) was added, in preperation for decals and washes. This usually makes the base a good bit darker ....something to keep in mind when you choose you base colour.
Hi Koen. Nice work so far. Neat building and paintwork. I like the little base .. realistic grass and the slope works well. What have you painted the tracks with ... nice suitable colour and flat as well. Eventhough is the CC forum, I cant really add anything that would help .. not even a nit-pick . Any plans for figures? A little well placed stowage ...... some personal items maybe ... would give the model a touch of life and contrast with the grey!
