I really can`t wait to see the dio finished dude. This PZKFW sure looks like it`s going to be very cold in the dio. Really good weathering and I like the snow very much.
So go on and show us the next pics ASAP

Brrr.... Looks cold!
What did you use to make the snow? Baking soda? Are you going to put any stowage on the tanks? Most of the pics of tanks on the Eastern front that I've seen usually had tons of stowage since the distances travelled were far, supply lines long and unreliable, and the conditions harsh of course.
Looking good and I'm looking forward to the final product!

Hi Andrew ...Man you are really cranking them out buddy....Just 2 things I noticed the antenna protector is not on right it should fit under the barrel of the 75 mm cannon...it was strapped to the barrel with a clamp....next I'm not sure from the pictures but I think you put the white crosses on your tank which would put it in Poland and not in Russia...The germans found out real fast that white crosses make a great aiming point for enemy gunners...Keep up the good work ...the weathering is nice!

I don't think the plain white cross is accurate for the time period, it was only really used in Poland I believe. I would use a Balkencruz which is the normal type of German cross.
The snow could be sealed in with a matt varnish if you have an airbrush and if the snow would not be blown away by it.

I hahe sealed baby powder as snow using hair spray. Just spray it above the model, and let it fall, that way it won't blow the snow off.
Oh, and looking good by the way :-)

Roger (favorisio) is right about the hairspray.
If I want to seal snow or other powders I use hairspray works really good and cost a little
