Here is a panzer IV that ive just finished.
Its the Tamiya 1.48th Scale one and i think it turns into a very nice little beast.
Sorry some of the pics are a bit dark.

Dave-- she looks beautiful. Can you detail your process for applying rust to the muffler? Also, how did you get the paint chip results and what brand of paint did you use? I really like your workmanship.
Very nice.

Thanks DJ.
The muffler was done with mig light and mig standard rust applied with a paint brush.
The first layer was the standard rust applied wet the second was the light rust applied dry.
leting the first layer show through of course.
Umm the paint chiping was a meathod that Ron Goins (biffa) kindly shared with us all.
Using a pot scrub pad the rough green stuff i dabbed windsor & newton's van dyke brown to areas that are prone to being chiped.
And last of all the paint was tamiya acrilics.
Dark yellow Red Brown And grass green.
