I have already finished my Build but decided to weather some so here's a few Pics I used Tamiya weathering master kits A & B colors used are SOOT, RUST, LIGHT SAND, SAND, and MUD. I also tried a Diluted wash.

Thanks John -- I see you're making good progress as well, looking forward to your completion.
I've finished the major sub-assemblies -- will stop for now, and get some paint on before putting it all together. Typically I complete a build before doing any paintwork, will try a different tack this time.
The last part was the turret and gun assembly. Sprayed primer on the barrel just to check for unwanted seam lines:
Not following instructions -- always thought left and right parts should be symmetrical. Already corrected.
Looking through walkaround pics, I've added some detail to the bin:
I've noticed that the bin is not symmetrical when viewed from the back. It seems to the case with the Bovington Pz III. Am thinking this kit may be modeled from that?
Till next update.
Cheers,
Tat

Thanks Paul.
I have a finer mesh courtesy of a kitchen strainer. It would have looked better, but I just couldn't get it to stick even after trying a couple of different super glues. The mesh I finally settled with came from another Tamiya kit -- the Sdkfz 7 + Flakvierling. Been getting bits and pieces from that sheet, there's practically nothing left by the time I do get to build it!
Cheers, Tat

By the time you get round to building the SdKfz7 you will have another to plunder for it's mesh. It's a devils circle bro

Cheers for the advice Paul! I drybrushed the figures with a pale grey, then went over the uniforms with a dry'ish brush with a lighter shade of khaki, this produced an effect I'm pretty happy with. The uniforms are lighter, with dark creases and brighter highlights on the raised sections.
Excuse the poor late night photography, 11pm will do that... will try and take some shots with better lighting soon.
Pretty sure I'm going to attempt a base for this one now.

Ben, nice Pz III. I like the figures! Is that the Masterbox set? The tank looks cool. One thing to think about is the spare track across the front. You appear to have shown some shiny bare metal. My guess is the spare hanging across the front would be dirty and duty, but would not have rubbed on anything like the track in use that would cause that. Just a thought. Nice looking build.

Hi Guy,
Yeah, the figures are from Masterbox and were included in the kit from Tamiya.
Good observation on the spare tracks, I did drybrush on some silver, but you are right... they should be dirty. I'll fix this up. Cheers!

Some pictures from last weekend's work. Managed to get most of the major assemblies done. Have some interior painting to do before I button it up.

My latest effort in the Panzer 3 rally!
Got most of the tools on. Hopefully tomorrow I can do the tracks, and start painting the road wheels.

Not yet Guy.
Did you glued the fenders already ?
You might have some problems putting the tracks on.. if the idler wheel is fixed.
What kind of tracks did your kit came with ? DS or Magic ones ?

Benjamin that's it bro , they really match the tank now 
Guy looking forward to seeing the paint dude
John nice now for the tricky part 
matching her up to the turret 
Well he she is, I'm calling her done. The MG is on, the front CIPs, some more scratching and some pastel dust;
Let me know what you think lads, there is always room for improvement
