Hi guys,

I finally am able to take pictures of my Marder. It's a revell kit and the level of detail is great on such a small kit. I painted it with the Gunze NATO paint set. Weathering was applied with washes and pastels.








I hope you like the build and comments are welcome.

Hey Wanze, Your marder is awesome, i really like the pastels on it, and the dry drushing turned out great. Are you a big fan of the revell 72nd line? I am currently in progress on the revell Biber bridge laying tank, Its a nice kit. Congrats on the Marder

Very nice work man. Nice to see someone else doing braille scale justice. As war-tool said, the dry-brush is great, and the pastels came out good too. Not over-the-top like alot of people like to do. Keep it up!

Hi War-tool and Iron Fist,

First of all thanks for the flattering comments. I agree that braille scale weathering should be subtle because of the scale involved. Moreover, it's so subtle that photographs don't pick it up well.

Revell AG really out did themselves with the Marder. It's one of my favourites. If you go to my gallery, you can see that most of my builds are Revell kits. Although Dragon is coming out with really awsome 1/72 kits.

Thanks again for your warm welcome.
