The mostly metal Marder M is basically done. Just needs the radio and a coupleof vision blocks

It will be put on a base with a couple of guys loading ammo...eventually.

Thnaks to those that followed the WIP thread. Comments, criticism and opinions welcome as always.

Looks great. I like the weathering a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the base

That is simply gorgeous! This is the level of skill that I hope to one day get near, though as a relative beginner that day is far in the future GREAT work, thanks for sharing!

Could you describe shortly how you weathered the Marder...

Base, paint, wash? What did you use.

The effect is absolutely stunning!

Congratulations on a job superbly done! The interior shines and almost outshines the exterior.

I just got back from dinner with the family and am about to start getting my stuff together for my trip up to Armorcon tomorrow. I realized I had not checked in here in waaaaay to long. Imagine my surprise when I saw my build from 2/12 years ago at-the top of the list. To all of you I saw thanks you for the comments and compliments.

Per, the best I can do is direct you to the blog on my site to give you an idea of what I did.
