@Rick - it seems that this link is somehow invalid - I cannot open it even with direct copy/paste operation. Please verify it. Oh, BTW: you did not remove "image.file" part from code.
As for my progress: I've finally managed to seat down and paint my monster green
. After 2,5 hours of airbrushing my trigger finger hurts and I'm sneezing green, but it was worth it. Next step: white strip on the turret and decals. Than the main part weatherin. Fortunately I still have one month

The lid on.
Have painted the cables they come up really nice with just a dark wash and am now on the lookout for a log. There is a clematis out the back which has potential. Does applying an oil based filter need a matte coat on first? I assume it does.

Here is my finished Stug III early. It is the Bose DX Dragon Kit.
A couple of first for me with this kit. My first whitewash. I used the hairspray method, it worked out ok but not as well as I had hoped. My first use of mud. I followed the instructions to the letter detailed in the Mig Pigments DVD. Very easy to do and I think that the mud turned out well. Once I looked at the pics I saw a few things I may work on a little later but right now I am at the point of diminishing returns. The more I do the less I get back. Got to hand it to the people that can nail a whitewash it is very difficult.
Let me know what you think all comments appreciated.

JP - the Tiger looks great - love those tracks.
Fred - great Stug. Maybe more shinny metal on contact points of wheels and tracks where mud would get knocked off from motion.

Hi everyone I painted the interior of my tiger red primer , I will post some pics soon . But I do have a puzzleing question . I read in one of my scources that some of the tiger tanks 3rd Company , 505 schwere SS-Panzerabteilung had red brown barrels . Is that an actual fact ? I seen a pic with tiger tank 300 , company commander Lt. Roder , was all dark yellow with a red brown barrel . Was the rest of the comnpany the same ? HAPPY MODELING

Hi, I've just hopped in to post a picture of my weekend work's results (to show the size of this monster I've placed some old T34-85 in 1/35 scale next to it). More pics soon (I hope).

Andrzej that is ridiculous! I like it a lot.
I'd love to see my tiny tiger next to it!
Thanks for the encouragement greg.
Found an unditching log. A bit of old sage bush. Perfect nicely pre weathered and everything.
Added some exhaust covers made from wine bottle foil burnished over the kit part and beaten up a little.
Gave them a coat of desert yellow and will have to fade them in a bit.

Yikes! It's been a while since I last came over here. As usual, many great things to look at. Kudos to everyone!
My entry for this campaign is now complete. I will not be creating a base for this model, contrary to my initial intention. I did try to build one ,but various unhappy things happened to my effort, so it's better left in the dark for now
I will also be fixing that huge antenna. A tad too big.
So here are a few shots of my completed Tristar Pz38(t), plus a digital painting I made of it. I'd like to do box art some day, so I'm practicing! All comments most welcome, as usual.
And the painting (lo-res, jped compressed) I did of my vehicle. To me, almost the most interesting part of the whole project! I hope you like it.

Well, that is certainly an awesome work! That Pz38(t) looks excellent! Almost like the real thing!
And the boxart is really cool
Congrats!

I'm so slow!!!! I hope to finish, but I may only have the SU-152 done in time. Where does the time for modeling go?..... internet
I also plan to get my hands on some small, thin trees to add for height

What a huge lot of great builds in this campaign!!
The Tiger, The Pz.Kfw 38(t), those wonderfull Sovjet armored beasts..... Too bad this campaign will be ending soon
As for my 251, I consider it done. The figures don't come out the way I want them to, so I'll just leave them off. Maybe I'll try again some day..
Thanks for all the comments and I'll add the pictures to the gallery.
