Hello everyone!

Well I bought a new camera, its nothing fancy but it takes much better pictures than my webcam. Hope you enjoy.

Good start there Justin. May I suggest, maybe bringing out the rubber portion of the road wheels a little more, they look to be the same color as the tank body. Also may want to dirty up the tracks a bit more, they appear to be too clean, as compared to the rest of the lower hull.

Just a couple of thoughts...but I do like your pictures with the new camera as compared to your earlier ones!

Keep at it mate! Cheers -

Tim

Justin,

If you can find some 1:1 scale construction equipment that has been used (or even real military track vehicles) you can see how mud and dirt gets into crannys and nooks all over the lower hull. This will help you see where your wheathering medias should go on your models.

The following picture on Prime Portal should give you an idea of what I'm trying to explain:

Thanks for the comments gentlemen!

Tim, I actually did paint the road wheels the same color as the chassis. I was under the impression they were steel road wheels and i used a pencil on the part that contacts the tracks, an error on my part.

Jeff, that picture will serve me well in all my future models, especially on the Stug IV i am currently working on. Thank you for the link to that picture! I will work on getting mud in the appropriate places.


I am sure you guys noticed the decals, I bought a can of Mr. Hobby clear matte Topcoat for my Stug IV and it works excellent, no more ripped decals.
