Here she is! Shes Still In progress turret Done except for Painting. The Camo Scheme and Crewman was all Done with Master Model Acrylics. Im Gonna Be Redoing the Crewman Though.



Last Night I Decided to Finish the Crewman that Came with the Tamiya 1/35 AA MobelWagen Tank The One with the Flack Cannon Instead of a Turret on a Panzer body.
Im Thinking of putting him with my Panther Instead though





His Eyes May look Weird But it looks like hes squinting trying to see a Plane



Personally I Think that Crewman is the Best ive done yet! Took me A While to Paint him and The Patches and medals. IT Took me about 3 hours I Believe to finish him Well Thanks for looking! Hope You enjoy My models!

P.S. Anyone got any Tips for Making Black Washes With Model Master Black Paint I tried A Small bit with 10 Thinner Drops But It Still ends up Acting like paint and making the model Black Im Trying a Shadow Effect.

Looking good Dave.

Thanks Only Problems I had was with the Iron Cross. First Id Paint the Inside. Then When id go to do the Outside around the inside id mess up the inside and that continued for about a hour But I Finnaly did get it right!

Use dry brush for those little medal things, Davy

Never thought of that Ill try that But Wont it still get the White?

not if you only use a little paint, and make sure that you wipe most of it off.

nice modelling.i am eager to see it when finished

Davy

That`s some stunning 3d dude :-)
No serious this is going to be a fine tank when it`s finished. I like the figure too.
Dave was right drybrushing works great for medals and stuff you might try that the next time

anyway great model show us more of it in the future

keep us updated

Thanks Im Thinking of gettin off of my Butt And starting work on the Rest of the tank Also Faust I Took a look at the article On your German Sniper Diorama. THAT WAS AWESOME! Also Would it be a good idea to mix white with the black wash so it doesnt turn the model Black instead?

Just Finished painting the Turret Now I just gotta work on the Bottom Of the Tank and its done!

Ditto what Dave said

All I gotta Do Now is add Some of the Tools and hatches and shes done!







Well What do you think? Im Super Happy lookign at it though My best work!

Looking pretty good so far. Keep it up.

Nice model Dave. Personally i use Humbrol enamels and cant say enough good things about them, especially when it comes to washes. Thin them out with humbrols own thinner and wash after base has cured for at least 72 hours. Remember the wash should be tainted thinner and not thin paint!
Your model would benifit a lot from a good wash and a slight dry brush to pick up the detail a abit. It will also tone down the camo. Dust can be painted on as well, if you dont have an air-brush. Good luck and happy modelling!

hi dave
looking good you hand brush too i can't afford an airbrush
plastic battle i use humbrol too not just cause they are good but because they are the cheapest

I got an empty bottle put a lot of thinner in t and then added some black and rust brown paint to it. Makes a good wash that will have the color fill in the crevices and the rest will dry in the air. I usually apply with a paint brush raher than an airbrush

Your model is looking good. There are two simple things that you could do to improve the model. It doesn't look like this is the steel wheel version of the panther so the wheels would have been rubber on the outside. You could go back and paint them black or even better, black with a little bit of white mixed in to simulate the rubber. Also, you might consider painting the tracks. I paint my tracks with a mix of 70% Humbrol dark earth and 30% Humbrol black. I then drybrush them with rusty colors and finally I brush graphite over the parts of the track that come in contact with the ground.

HTH

Good effort. I agree that you need to paint the road wheels and weathr the track. If you can afford it, you might want to go out and get the rear deck screen set that goes with this kit. Just a first foray into the P/E market, but it dresses up the model immensely. Don't forget to dirty it up a bit. It's a tad too shiny, go back an put that dirtying fluid I told you about earlier. Great job on figures. Better than mine actually you seem to have a great knack for detail painting

Ill Start work on the Rubber Now and the tracks I Sortof Got Start working on my M4A3 Jumbo Sherman I almost forgot about my panther Added rust to my Shermans Turret etc its gonna be in a diorama with a german looking for goodies. and the Panther and its crew lookin gat the Sherman

don't forget about the tracks those thing were all metal they aren't going to be up like that. don't forget to add mud or dirt to the tracks either if its going to be in a dio.those things look squeaky clean in the pics.verygood job though ! :-) (:-)
