Took the advice of many and have did some more work on the tauch panzer III h

I adjusted the color so the pics look a bit more like the model



Muddied her up a bit with thin mud. May make it thicker depending on the base I set her on.



I have placed the covers over the air intakes in the open position

Wow that looks great!

Is it done? (sure looks like it)
All it needs now is a brave tank comander to man the top hatch

That's great now, the tracks and the mud on the body look real good. Are you going to put a figure in?

Very good Selrach. Just a small point....is the "mud" supposed to look wet?
Have you given thought to using pastels for a more dusty finish?
VERY small nags, but I'm impressed especially with the dry-brushing

Sel-ster

As I've told you in the chat room---this is a nice model. Your brush work is really outstanding. You took a good looking model, and made it better---congrats.

ps: almost makes me want to build German

Coming along great !! I still wouldn't want to be a panzer commander dressed in black sitting between two white hatches though...I'd feel like a sight for all those Russian snipers.
lol
Rick.
Keep up the great work...

You have a point there, does make more sense for them ( the Hatches) to be darker. I get mixed opinions as to this...
I'm looking for a comander in the Panzer beret that was the fashon at the time of operation barbarossa (If I'm wrong on this , please let me know) I can find lots of others in the cap and the small nco cap... . Any place I can find what I'm looking for? Any help or advise will be most appreciated :-)

I'll be creating a base for the Tauch Panzer, Probably a small one, nothing big. Maybe a riverbank ?

Thanks for the input and suggestions

Don't use a berret!! They were out long before the start of the Russian Campaign. You are best to use the small cap as seen on most tankers at that time .

Very impressive Selrach! I like the way the tracks are done. Drybrushing on the tanks is very well done as well. Great job mate.
