Looking great! I really like the ground work. I don´t like the camo on the flak. But thats personal because it is almost perfectly painted.

Hi Koen, your base is very good,great color, and very real.The 88 is good,but I don`t like the camo, is very geometric.
I don´t know ,but if you got a picture with it, ok.

thanks guys,
much appreciated!!!

the camo on the flak... that's idd a point... from the beginning i made it clear for myself that realism wasnt the priority. I'm not shure if i'll keep it this way, maybe i'll weather it first and review it then... dont know yet, but you guys defenitly have point!!

thanks

Koen,

Groundwork is very nice. It is great to see that you have not made the common mistake of 'boxing the flak' inside the trench.

What figures are you thinking about?

I like the groundwork and the way you laid out the boards. Very nice work.

I like everything. The gun is great in my opinion. It reminds me of the old cammo that they put on naval vessels.

Great work!

Hi Koen

Very nice base. I like the ground work and I like the camo on the 88mm. The camo is not as unrealistic as it might seem. A lot of Panthers were painted in this scheme late in the war. So with a little artistic license it is not unlikely that some 88mm were painted like that as well.

The flak looks much better now. And the base needs a little more drybrushes. But its ok now to.

Looks good although I liked the previous camouflage better. I guess it is impossible to make everybodys favorite

Looking forward to see more

Koen -

Nice progress so far. Personally, think your second crack at the Flak camo came out better than the first, but hey, just my opinion. Your base looks great, like how you've managed it so far. Thanks for sharing your pictures. Cheers!

A couple things jump out at me ...
The base is great, the color contrast and the texture difference, gloss to matt is wonderful.
The netting is one of the best scale representations I've seen. What did you use?

Really nice, the tones and weathering really tie everything together.
