Nearly there. A few final washes and a base to go.

Vinnie:
Good job here also. I especially like the second pic showing the rear of the vehicle and your figure work.
I have a tendency to dirty/age things up a bit, but that's just me. Your work is well done sir.

Some realyy nice work here. I especially like the effort you put in to make the traversing track metal and the great job you did on shading the black uniforms. I also like the subtle camo pattern. In picture 1, it looks like there might be some glue along the seam between the side armor and the back armor on the starboard side. In picture 2, it looks like there's a pin ejector mark on the backgate.

Good work. Especially the figures. My only criticism would be the choice to portray the muzzle of the gun as blackened. I have never seen an AFV that exhibits this in real life

Hey Teach,
Cool shots of a bueaty Wespe. Looks good and can almost feel that cold wind.
My only comment/reconmindation - give it some mud bro!
Just my 2¢ opinion......

Looks great. The only comment I might have is that the muffler looks kind of pink. Probably a photography/lighting trick, though. Great job! BTW, what kit is it?

Nice work, I especially like your very neat paint job on the sighting poles and the figures.
Just a couple nitpicks, I would tone down the soot on the muzzle brake, and the gun looks partially recoiled. It should be all the way forward in it's track. Oh and don't forget to paint the convoy light on the bottom left rear corner.

Excellent build and camo job. Have to agree with the others ...... this is one that needs some weathering to carry it off nicely! The figures are first class ....... they do look cold. The wespe on the other hand looks like its a nice warm, sunny day ... if you know what I mean. All the best

looking good teacher,
how about adding some weapons and grenade cases to the back deck lest you can cheat and hide the sink mark then few more washes and it'll look great :-)

I like the way it is so far.I agree on the convoy light on the back,it needs to be painted.I forget if the tube style was white or blue.
Also,you could add u shaped (but with squared corners) latches to the tool clamp ares.The best way to make them,is to squeeze some small dia wire flat to make strap stock,then bend the legs and add.Now you may have to touch up the paint,but those would add just a little bit more...

Wepse looks great ! Figures are done well also. Will look better with some washes, weathering, and some highlighting as well. This kit would look great on a base with some groundwork. Nothing crazy, but a nice country road setting would be perfect ! Good work, and keep it up !
Cheers !
