[geegad]

got some more done while i was painting this i realised that there going to be two more colours going on here so you wont probably see the post shading oh well least i get to try my new airbrush...

[geegad]

got the base coat on and the transfers then a little matt gloss before the hair spray comes along

I reckon you've done really well there John, you can see the shading coming through. Are you planning a worn-through coat of desert yellow over the panzer grey?

Looking forward to seeing witg but the only thing I'd mention is that the Afrika Korps insignia would have been painted on over the desert sand coat, not straight from the factory.

Don't tell me that now noooooo!!!!!!! Dam Nazi's

[Guest]

Sorry! Wish it wasn't so but the factories didn't know where the tanks where going, plus the Panzerarmee Afrika was kind of an ad-hoc formation, so most paint & markings were done in-theatre.

well got ths hairspray chipping done might add a few more here and there but ready for the nxt phase

hope you like what u see...??

[Guest]

I reckon that looks just right John. Not too heavy on the wearing/chipping but enough that it looks realistic. Good save on the decal front too!

[geegad]

Cheers Patrick thanks for your advice and I'm with you I think that's enough to show the paint underneath

Thanks again for you kind words and your help
