Lovely work Robert. The added details really improve it a lot and your paint finish is superb.

My only comment would be that the model would be vastly improved if you drilled out the headlights and fitted some clear resin ones, silver painted lights just never look realistic enough.

Robert,

I agree with Rob's headlight suggestion. You're detailing and finishing are superb, and the headlights are glaringly not glass.

Excellent effort!

Awesome job mate. Can you tell me how you got the exhaust soot look that good? Im also working on a 1/35 Dutch PZH but I haven't figured that one out.

Cheers

Outstanding, but I agree with the above comment. Painting the headlights silver is a bit too 'old school' to be compatible with the excellent work you've done.

I've used black pigment from Vallejo. Soot should also be fine. Headlight's? Honestly I didn't have any idea how to do it

Hi Robert !

Great work on the Pz2000 !!
I have the same kit in the middle of building, also added the Eduard set.
But still a long way to finish it.
Great work on your kit. What kind of weathering did you use ? filters ? pigments ?

Thanks for sharing your work !!!

Hey robert,

I've PM-ed you a while ago but you havn't responded. I was wondering how you exactly applied to pigments on to the pzh exhaust?

cheers Remi
