Hi everyone guys,
here we are this is first time in the "competition", actually my first Model of the Month entry..., anyway...
this is a Panzer IV ausf. E from Dragon ( a very nice and superdetailed kit ) , it has been really funny and a bit challenging too.
The model is build out of the box except for the few additions on the rear part of the tank. The pictures have been taken in natural light , and in my opinion they look a bit too bright ( meaby its my white balance setting on my camera....) , but im quite satisfied with them.

Well thats it, i hope you will like the model and thanks a lot to everybody for comments and advices.

Ciao
Alessandro

Well done fatbobit, an excellent piece of work.
Perhaps next time you may need to trim off the loss hair of the rope.

Wow nice kit Alessandro. Quite like the subtle weathering you did on this one. Going to be another hard month of casting votes again, i can just tell.

Nice job, I like the finish. Just a minor suggestion...you placed scruf marks near the coupola, might at as well place some on the turret storage bin and the driver/co-driver hatches too. They are the most commonly accessed areas....just my opinion.

Overall, really like the effects looks very used...goodluck

Cheers

Hi Arvin,
thanks for the suggestion, actually i did some chippings in the areas you mentioned...but i think they are not visible due to the mig dust powder that i applied ( that toned down everything a bit ) and also the picture that is not really well contrasted.
Next time ill take more care about those little details..!

Thanks again

Ciao
Alessandro
