Hello friends!

More updates!

First I applieda coat of "dark-yellow" of Tamiya. Second, "desert yellow" and the camu with a mix of "olive-green + Lemon-yellow", all of Tamiya. Finally a coat of satin varnish of Vallejo.

Rodolfo, the camo is coming along very nicely. The green is almost an exact match of MM panzer olivgrun.

Thanks friend!. It is the result that needed because the olive-green of Tamiya is too dark.

More updates!

DECALS:

1).- Applying Micro-Sol to adhere it. 2).- Applying Micro-Set in order to fix. Ready!

All done, what do you think, too dirty?

Rodolfo: Looking good. Did you "white glue" the fenders on for painting or paint them separately and tack them on for the photos?

Scott: good to see paint on it.

Andy: I think it looks great and not too much at all Nice job.

Happy Modelling, -zon

Sudzonic: I'm loving it.

Andy: looks like it has seen hell. I don't think it can ever be too dirty.

Rodolfo: I think I will have to get some microset and microsol to use with
those horrible Academy decals

Thanks friend!. Yes, I am painting the fenders separately




Yes, is a excellent option

More updates!

For the tools I used Humbrol white and over it "leather brown", metalcote and for the box flat brown of Vallejo. I am finished the detailing before to start the weathering.

Some excellent work Rodolfo.

Thanks friend!

Here is more updates:

WASHES:
Here are the different phases of washes using Humbrol (yellow-sand) mixed with enamel of Humbrol and light brown of Vallejo diluted with water.

Nice to see you are staying on track Roldolfo. The wash looks excellent.

Where's everybodies' progress? I could have finished two by now. Hopefully, you guys aren't letting this one fall by the wayside.

Thanks friend!

2nd. phase: Dark-earth diluted with Enamel thinner of Humbrol for lines and application of pigments brown-earth.

Rudolfo, that looks NICE! very impressed with your work sir. Cheers to you.

Scot the Ural is looking great.

@ Scott - nice work

@ Damon, thanks for your kind comments!

More updates!

3rd. phase: Give some touch of "Solvent-spirit" on pigment brown-earth to the armor and then pass over the tank with a dry brush softly in order to make a spot color earth, only in the surfarce of the tank give a little touch.

Rodolfo

Rodolfo's burning the midnight oil on this one with some stunning results.

The big Ural is all but done.

Scott: A very nice looking little build. Are the tires supposed to be green or is
that just the lighting?

Hi, All!

It's COMMAND stuff! How cool! And how weird I feel ... I know this campaign has been posted - see it about every day when I get on Armorama... and never opened it up 'til today! I think I assumed that it was somehow over... Huh. It's that or I must have some sort of block about authority or something!

The builds all look pretty cool. I've wondered what those Dragon / CH Befehls III look like - now I know and maybe I'll have to add one to my stash!

And, @Andy (scarfer): NICE job on a unique beastie! How odd to see one - they are pretty scarce on show tables and in build posts, from what I've seen - It was a pretty rare thing in "nature", too- only maybe 6 to 12 ever having been built. That said, we're apparently some sort of armor-peas-in-the-pod! That thing is the very first kit I did when I got back into this hobby couple of years ago, after about 35 years off elsewhere...! A cool vehicle, and the kit turned out to be pretty nice, IMO - first time I EVER met link tracks . No, they are NOT "Magic Tracks" by any measure... I built mine for "the Polish campaign" - only later to find maybe it didn't actually serve there, and probably never served with a gun anywhere! Still - I figured "what the hey - what's a tank without some sort of gun, anyway?". I did at least realize in time that the going German paint scheme was still the brown-on-gray type... Otherwise, it was Accuracy be dam---d! Full build ahead!

I like your presentation - and it sure does come across dirty as all heck! I DO have a question... why did you cut the mounts off of those front coil springs?

For laughs and shrugs, here's my build... remember now, folks, I wasn't focusing on accuracy, here...! Too bad the rules say I have to build something NEW for this campaign, elsewise I'd have things made in the shade



Speaking of this campaign... not too late for me to get in, is it? I have this HobbyBoss SdKfz 223 funk sitting on my bench all lonely and un-touched... If I'm good to get in, I'll enlist and that'll be my new stab at COMMAND!

Bob

Bob: The more the merrier. Jump on in with both feet.

Thanks friend!

Finally I decided to add mud:

1).- Mix of Humbrol "Matt-brown-yellow" + marble dust + brown pigments






2).- Airbrushing with "flat-earth" of Tamiyaand ready!
