Machu---looking very well done here.

Just a couple of suggestions on the display stand for your consideration.

On the rails, paint the sides of the rails rail brown or a brown/rust color as they will "color" like this in real life. Leave the rail tops steel to show the wear from usage.

The railroad ties look uniform. If you wish, you could try drybrushing some various browns/muds/light grays on some of the ties. They don't all weather the same so you can have some fun here.

As you near completion you could also consider adding some small weeds/growth along the railway right of way to add some visual interest to the base, or perhaps a small pile of debris/junk.

Your model looks great, my suggestions come from my latent model railroading days and should not be considered a criticism of your fine work here.

Well done sir, and looking forward to more pics once completed! Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Looks great already. I suggest you add on camo........panzer olivgrun and red brown will do.
And of course a touch of weathering by wash and drybrushing will make your model more realistic :-)
Can't wait to see the finished photo.
Good luck and have fun

Very nice.
I agree about the tracks. Also on the wheels the surface that touches the track will be bright silver.

thanks for the suggestions. I don't know about camoflauge though...It's in the '39-'45 era and all the pics I've seen are either dark grey or dunkelgelb. I'll research some more though. I will definately take up WeWillHold's suggestion on the display stand.

I'll post up some more pictures soon

Machu, looks great If you do decide to use camo, my i suggest atillte signalbraun in the squiggly lines patern it realy would look nice, other that for the solid colour I suggest adding some white to tone down the pant and spraying it in a cloud patern to faid out the large areas of the kit. STUG

This is an update...I took the suggestion of camoflauge and used a pattern of sinalbraun (special thanks to Stug for helping with the camo planning). I also painted the sides of the rails with rust paint and dry brushed the ties with shades of grey and brown. I also added guns, the antenna, and a few other small details.











Any opinions on the pattern and paintjob are appreciated

I will post again during the weathering process.
