Well done, my favorite German tank and looks great. The weathering, especially the chipping, is very good.

thanks for sharing

Looks good, I like the dusty, rusty wheels and tracks. Now it just needs a commander in the hatch.

Keep up the good work.

Beautiful job. What steps did you follow for the really nice rust on the exhaust? Also, the chipping is great.

John: For a heavy rust effect, I mix some backing powder in to a rusty color. This gives the surface a very rough texture, which makes the use of pastels very easy.
