OK got an update on the FV215(B). Just about ready for some paint.

First up got some slightly blurry quick shots of crew figures:





Now the 'beast'! I added some side bins and antenna mounts. Amusing Hobby only have the antenna bases which is a bit lame. Some leftovers in the spares box from an AFV Club Centurion fit the bill. I added a hatch at the rear too. The crew will need some access for loading ammo etc. so I feel this addition is entirely necessary! You should also be able to spot the tow cable additions on the bazooka plates as these are a yellow color! These were originally from a Tamiya Challenger 1. This build is raiding my spares box some!

Alvaro,
Congratulations! Excellent looking Sturm! I really love the way it turned out. If I had extra points to give, I'd award some for the use of real rust. It looks much better than any painted attempt I've seen.

Nick,
Those figures look great! Love the moustaches...very British looking!

That is one massive tank hunter! I appreciate the extra effort you're taking to populate the exterior. Surely that thing has to dwarf all of the paper panzers but the Ratte.

Very cool!

Hi guys

Thanks Clayton, Ken,JohnA and Gary for yours comments.

Here its the oxide that I use. "Come" with different colors of oxide. Also, I add some pinpoints washes with oils, like black or brown to enhance a bit the effect (yellow arrows).

Regards
Álvaro

Some wash:


Is it OK?

The final wash:

This is the camo scheme I'm going to implement on my Jadgtiger.

I haven't seen a scheme like this yet. But Someone had to implemented it already.

Martin,
It looks really great! The wash really brings out the details.

John,
That's an interesting start to the camo. With too few photos in ambiguous black and white it's really hard to know for sure how all of those Jagdtigers would have been painted.

I finished up last week.It's Dragon's Late Jagdpanther.Used Tamiya and Vallejo Paints mostly.Weathered with AK and Mig Products.Also added Fruil Tracks.

Great campaign Gary,really managed nicely,you really stayed on top of things.Lots of great builds everyone.

Nice Anthony! I like your cammo and streaking. I just bought my very first Dragon model, Stug III G early. Looking forward to building it. How did the Jagdpanther build up? Were the instructions error free? I just realized you have been part of every campaign I have been in.

Thank you Bryan,I had no difficulties with the instructions.I have to say it was a trouble free build,no difficulties.

Looks great Anthony.

Very sharp, Anthony!

Anthony, nice work with the airbrush,congrats on finishing.

Anthony,
Congratulations on a great finish! Your Jagdpanther looks great! Great looking camo scheme! Love the subtle weathering and streaking.

I'm glad you've been enjoying the campaign. It's been my pleasure to see so many great and inspirational builds.

Gaz

This is my entry for the campaign, New Connection 88mm Flak 18.

Lap Man,
Thank you for entering your New Connection 88mm Flak 18. I've never even heard of New Connection, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this built!

Gaz

Hi Everyone!
Just a little reminder, we have only 42 days left in the campaign.

There are still a few who haven't submitted photos to the gallery. Please get them in so you won't miss out on the snazzy ribbon that comes from successfully completing the campaign.

Happy Building!

Gaz

Since I won't be doing the infamous "donkey-faust" to go with my E-25...here is some bonus coverage of a Stug III/G I built for a StuG Group Build over on Modelworx.

That's concrete armor. I "cut" the schurzen brackets off...you can see the nubs still welded to the vehicle. I augmented the partial interior. I tossed the DS tracks because they are the devil...and used an old set of Dragon indie tracks.

Nice work, Alex!

Very nice Alex

Alex,
Thank you for sharing that bonus with us! It looks great. I really like the lava-ish look to your concrete. Great weathering, too!
