Nice job! Were they individual tracks or the dragon tracks and how were they to handle?

According to Scalemates they should actually be Magic Tracks.

Ken,
Outstanding finish! Really feels the part of fighting in the desert with your weathering.

Agree that the paint & weathering are spot on. For your first armor model, looks like you have it well in hand!

Ken,
This is outstanding for a first armour model. I take it you are experienced in other genres? If not, I'm going to give up!

Terrific job! I really like the weathering: not too over-the-top. Good rack on the back as well. Let's see more!

Brilliant work, if I could achieve anything near that after 6 or seven projects, I would be very pleased. Very impressive for a 1st project.

So sorry for the lack of response. I sent pictures for posting but did not see they are linked to a forum with comments...Geesh!
The tracks are Magic Tracks that came with the DML kit. I was very pleased with how well they built up with very little preparation needed.

Such a nice comment here Steve. Sorry for the late response. Did not realize my pictures I submitted were linked to a forum spot...You are correct, I have done fine scale structure modeling for a number of years.

Well thanks much FlatFour! I was very pleased with how it turned out, quite apprehensive going into the painting and weathering.

Thanks Mike. I finished up Takom's Panzer III M and posted a few pics under the blog category here. Also, just finished up Bronco's Panzer III A.
