Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen lll Ausf. L

[Guest]

Right, having been back for a bit more weathering I'm calling this one finished!


Really enjoyed this one, perhaps the most of all my builds, or, more importantly, paint jobs!


Feel free to comment.


















Bit of a fish-mash of shots, and they look darker on here than in Photoshop, but don't really have time to correct for now!


Enjoy

In a word..........stunning

[Guest]

More words! Excellent, superb, tip-top!


Love the dried muddy dusty tracks & wheels John, the chipping & overall look of the little beast!


I'd finish mine if I could find the bits I'm missing!


Maybe some more pics later?

Couldn't agree more

[Guest]

Wowsers! Thanks folks, agree I need more pics, very tempted to get one of those hot-tent things, as I always seem to pick rubbish days to shoot these things!

[Guest]

Excellent work all round.


I really like the way the tracks and wheels are well weathered and muddy.


And the fact that the upper surfaces are only lightly weathered.


which looks more realistic to me.

[Guest]

All I have to say is the maintenance crew is lacking in proficiency.


Seriously, that is terrific looking. The mud/dust effect on the lower portion is very realistic looking. An overall great job. I must admit I am a bit of a coward when it comes to mud effects... as in I have never had the guts to try it. I always model subjects in a dusty, dry environment so I don't have to worry about it.


One of these days...

Oh you should try it! It's something you can practise with on bottles etc, but if you build it up in layers, slightly changing colours and brushing on some pigments occasionally, it soon looks realistic, and really adds to the model, IMHO.

[Guest]

Thanks John.


I have a old tool Tamiya Panzer IV I finished a few months ago that I am thinking of using as a test bed for mud. Once I get some other projects completed, I think I will.

Stunning model, brilliantly executed

[Guest]

Excellent work john, that paint work is sublime.

[Guest]

I love it! I LOVE IT!

[PaulTRose]

very nice....the road wheels and tracks look nicely cruddy

[Guest]

Wow! Excellent build!!


Personally I love the general tone and the streaking grimes on the turret...is a very fine work

[Guest]

Panzer gray model is a pending that I have ... superb model, cheers
