This is at an early stage, filtering is next. I will have to make some new antenna's with the spures, as they were broken when I was about to use them





On the last photo- the rubber band track snapped in half. I had to put it together with cotton and then hopefully hide all this with the mud weathering once a bsae dio.

I like the Panzerwerfer 42, and yours looks good from here Gary. Ufortunantely the colouring of the pics is not helping, have you tried to adjust the white balance of your camera? I'd like to see that camo in good light, it looks very nice.

There seems to be a gap between the top and bottom of the engine compartment, but other than that I don't see anything to add.
The plastic tracks are not very impressive, (the tracks that is, not your work with them.. ) I build the Azimut version yonks ago, and although the plastic italeri tracks where included, I replaced them with MB indy-link tracks. I you can I would consider replacing them. Well worth it, as they really add the finishing touch to the model.

Show us some more....

Cheers

Totally off subject except to say that it does look very nice and would benefit from some natural light, but where are these rather wonderful signature banners appearing from? I am just sooooooooooo jealous.

This is my first attempt of a white wash. I used a white pastel caulk and Tamiya thinner. I have weathered the vehicle with Burnt Sennia to get the rust effect. I think that I have overdone this.

I used Riechsfox on the whitewash

I want to make the lower part very muddy, so I will use sand, plaster, mig pigments and a gloss enamal to make it look wet





Any comments welcome

This just keeps looking better and better, youe whitewash looks really effective and the washes tie it all together really well. Are you going to add any crew?

Good progress Gary, you are right, the burnt sienna wash is a bit much, but it is very good as an abandoned vehicle.

Cheers
