Here is the panzer 1 after receiving a couple filters and it's markings. The filters are dark gre-blue and rust brown colours. The balkencruz's are the Tristar decals and were cut out into four pieces and applied. The yellow markings are for the 4th Panzer Division from Archer Transfers. The turret numbers were painted over workable vision ports so had to be applied with a stencil. The final painting is only about 3% done but here it is:

Here is the panzer 1. It has received a very heavy weathering job. I thought this would be appropriate for the panzer 1 as it would be quite old. Also, during the Invasion of France, armoured units were in combat for long periods of time. There are still many things to be added. This is probably my mist involved weathering job yet. Comments are welcome.

Obe, for all your bad qualities, you build one hell of a panzer. Keep it up, my friend.

Obe this new addition is awesome. I start to see a MIG in your work now, this is real nice work. I really like it. I think the weathering is effective for what you try to protray, very nice stuff. And the build is flawless.

Now THAT is awesome! The detailing.. inside and out.. are impeccable. I've not seen detailing like that in .. well.. I don't know. How long did it take you from start to finish, to complete the project (in hours)? It is a true work of art, should win a few contests.
