Well, after my last step i showed you a month ago, i practiced some airbrushing for the first time and with some help and advices from a friend i painted the stug IV, i also added some damage on it and assembled one of the 2 figs which will be present on the diorama.

Some pics:

Looking good Mirko. Will you finish in camouflage or white wash? I think the figure and dog are the Dragon Set, what are they like? I have this set to go with an Armoured Rail car, but that will be a while.... :-) :-)

Cheers

p.s. I never found the website, for paint reference, I was looking for again but I'll keep looking. I just don't have a lot of time to 'brouwse' the web at the moment..

Well, Henk, thanks for the reply, the figs are not the best of dragon, some poor fit and head should be replaced (but i didnt have any reserve ones) the dogs have problems with assembling the head on the rest of the body but they're nice if you put some time into them.

I still havent decided will i leave it full green or i will do whitewash. i think im closer to full green. I still have a lot to work on this one but im pleased hows it going, if you manage to find the pic i would be gratefull

Very good Sensei. Maybe you should make some visible damage behind the holes in the schurzen though....They're pretty big, so the grenades who made them probably did some damage to the tank too. I like the schurzen btw, nice and they looks used!

Think you're airbrush skills will be alright :-)

That starts to look interesting mate. I can see you are getting used to the Airbrush. I think this will be a very interesting diorama. I`m also curious what the final tank will be,,, Green or whitewashed..
I have built that figure too some years ago I didn`t think they were too bad.

But great start mate and don`t stop posting your progress
