Hello!!!
Just wanted to show you my latest project. A Dragon 1/72 scale Panzer IV.
I've painted the yellow base with Vallejo and the cammo is done with artist oils.
There's still a lot to be done and I'm currently testing some ideas for the story of the diorama.
If the ideas work out more pictures will come soon...
Hope you like it so far.
Cheers

Hello Sven,
Nice build, Dragon's Pz IV series must be currently the most advanced in thiscategory. How was the fitting ?
I'd also like to know which code from Vallejo you use as base for the dungelgelb.
Your Pz looks very well weathered and I like the contrast of the colors.
You have a talent of setting up nice stories with few pieces and little space and I hope that this one wil follow this rule too.
P.A.
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

Thanks Alexander!
The yellow basecoat was a mix of many different colors like gold yellow and skin and a few others that I can't remember but since I mixed it on the fly I never made any notes of it...
Yes hopefully this will follow the rule too as you say, we will see
Thanks!!!

Sven-Åke,
I like your Panzer IV Ausf F1. The camouflage blends in nicely with the ground work. Excellent usage of colors.

Hello...
Greta Model Dio you show us here. With nice painted figures. Maybe you can
show us some more pictures from the figurs only a little bit closer. Is the animal
modelling or have you buy it? Looks very good, too.
The paint on the tank looks a little darker on this images. because of the camera?
Or have you cange something?
Have you some detail pics? Like them from your panzer III desert dio?
Wish you a nice sunday!!!

Hello Daniel!
I'm experimenting a bit with different light setups while I take the pictures to find out which works best with this particular model, no changes to the model itself...
Glad you still like it

I have also been using two figures from AB which are quite nice.

Simply a great effort here, Sven-Åke.
Your Pz IV is a real inspiration, love the beatup look with out being over done. The figures make the scene come alive and finishes off the vignette nicely. I always qualify a great model when I want to see pictures closer up and your diffidently falls into that category.
I'm just stepping back into this great hobby and I've never tried armor in 1:72, but I may just give them a try. The small foot print on the book shelf is a real positive for these little beasts plus the different vehicles that aren't available in 1:35

Welcome back to the hobby Bruce!
I can truly recommend 1/72 scale both because as you say the space saving issue but also the cost which is quite low camparing to 1/35.
I'm really glad that you like my efforts with this little dio, big thanks!!!
