I think your project is really superb. The construction work is faultless with some nice touches such as the damaged schurzen. From experience, I know that the Part sets are not easy to work with at all.

But for me, it is the finish that really stands out. The way you have applied the pigments is really interesting - can you tell me how you did it? I only ask because I am about to use pigments for the first time on my Jagdpz IV L48 project (posted on missing lynx last week) and would appreciate the input.

Also very pleased to see you enter this project in the braillescalecompetition. To my mind, it would be a worthy winner!

Thanks for posting

thanks for comments.
Regarding the model, it will be a part of a small diorama therefore it is not yet fully finished. The MG from Aber will be added and some tree branches... Unfortunately I was not able to complete that for a braillescale - pity because it will bring some life into it.
Like this:


Regarding Part PE parts you are right. They reqiure some work but it is worth-while effort.
The revell kit used as the mase was a bit tuned of course. I added welds, modified the commander's hatch and some other details. The idea was to be visually close to tha late version.

I am applying pigments using soft brush randomly adding colours then fixing. Then, without fixing I am correcting them using dry pigments. There is no other special tricks behind.

Cheers

"Poor Germans" ...sent back to medieval time... at least for a while
Excellent work and really non-trivial diorama. My congratulations!
