Having mostly built a lot of '44 german armour, it has become obvious they need zimmerit, so i've taken the plunge and coated this italeri PzKpfw IVH with Milliput




Criticism wanted before I start patting myself on the back

I think that pat on the back is well deserved, sir.

It looks pretty damn good to me Rich, well done.

start pattin or just slap your back real hard cause it looks great what method did you use

Much better than the molded on stuff, from Dragon.

Patience and a 3mm screwdriver. It may have helped that the milliput was 10 years old and wasn't inclined to stick to my fingers or the blade

Rich,
Looks real good. If you coat it in baby powder (after it's on the tank of course), it doesn't stick to fingers or tools.

Pretty well sums it up fer me too!

@LikesTanks – Richard,

First I’d like to welcome you! Hope your stay will be lasting and wonderful.

I think you’ve done a first rate job on your first attempt at creating your own Zimmerit paste. Even without a coat of paint it already looks convincing and to scale. OK, you could step back a little and throw yourself against the wall for a well-deserved hardy pat on the back!

Thanks for the support guys, i'll get started on the zimm production line for all the shelf queens. Any advice on how to achieve the rough, stippled surface you see on Jagdpanther zimmerit?

very well done.
I did the same, only in scale 1:8 tiger, i will try to add photo''s
