here we have a Trumpeter sturer emil,and what a nice kit it is to build apart from the kit tracks :-) so i added friul tracks for panzer I F there the same type of track.they fit fine but you have to work on the drive wheel to make a good fit.
this time i painted it in hannants xtracrylix,to me there better than Tamiyas paint.weathering was achieved with the use of oil washes,mig powders and Tamiyas weathering master set.
if you have any comments feel free to post
cheers karl

HEAVY. Your Sturer Emil looks fantastic Karl. Love that weathering.
Posted: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 - 06:52 PM UTC
As everybody else has agreed .... looks great and the weathering is top notch.
You´ve really got the weathering down to a fine art now Karl. The running gear and tracks are perfect in my book. Care to give a short explanation ... or a long one if you want to brag :-) :-)
How were the hannants acrylics to work with? What did you use as thinner?

Hi Karl,
Very nice weathering, can you explain more in how to apply the MIG powders.

Good Job! I really like the "dirtiness" of it! Was that all done with the Mig pigments and what did you put over the pigments to keep them stuck to the model?
