I posted this, on a couple of other forums and thought you guys may like it. It takes a bit more work, but the end result is excellent. My only piece of advice is to leave the etch and small pieces off, until you have scrubbed the paint down.





I painted the entire model, before deciding I wasn't happy with the finish. I laid down grey lacquer primer, then a cote of white lacquer primer. I did all of the camo with Tamiya acryls. Decided I wasn't happy with it and went through three sessions of paint removal with oven cleaner and a soft toothbrush. I have a lot of reassembly and touch up to do. But, this should give you a good feeling of the finish.

I like the look. Seems like it follows a very natural looking wear pattern.

Thank you for the comment. I have to make a trip to my lhs. Pick up a few paints and glue. I may try this technique on my next pz.III. Definitely something with fewer etch parts.

Do you apply any layers of clear coat to prevent scrubbing off too much of the paint layers?

There was one layer of clear. But, it was Future and came off very easily.

Yes,Matt it looks good here also.

I thought it looked familiar

Should be an interesting build.

Just trying to get as many opinions, as possible; before I continue the build.

I'm not a big fan of White Wash because its one of the hardest jobs to do without looking like you just painted a model white. It takes layers upon layers to pull off correctly. You may want to change your painting methods. Use a Acrylic Primer and base coat. Follow with a Satin varnish and then use enamels or oils for washes. You can easily remove the washes if you dont lke them and they blend much better than acrylic washes. I'm still trying to figure out as well.
