I have no comments, but I have questions: how did you do the mud in the tiger? and the camo pathern in that Panzer, I thought they were so small that you couldn't do that ? OK thats it with the questions, very good work! (Ok that was a comment )

Dragon, the mud on the Tiger is a product from Liquitex called Stucco. It is basically an acrylic modeling paste with very fine sand mixed into it. It goes on white in color, but dries clear. I apply it before I do an painting and then paint over it with the vehicle color. Normal weathering process after that. As to the camo pattern on the PzIII, I just cranked the nozzle on my Badger 150 down and thinned my paint a little more than normal to get a tighter pattern. The rest is just a steady hand. "Q"
Same technique for the mud on the ISU-152 as well.

Nice beast Cap4! They can be easily "confused" with bigger scale ones.
