I considered fitting a few different types of front wheels during the final weathering stages of the build. These are a set of aftermarket resin FAMO wheels that come with chunky allied rubber- Panzerwrecker

Trumpeter 1/35 Sd.Kfz.8 12T Gepanzerte (armoured)
I opened the lid on this kit in 2013 after reading an article about an unusual, and as it turned out, unique late war German prime mover. Built on a Sd.Kfz. 8 DB10 chassis, this was a rare, armoured artillery tractor variant that was pulled from the Pilica River in Poland in 1999. It had sunk in...- Panzerwrecker

Flakpanzer IV Ausf G Wirbelwind (Dragon)
I felt I overcooked the pin wash application using MIG neutral wash. It muddied the effect I was going for. Fortunately, as it was enamel based, I dialled it back with white spirit and just left the initial darker layer in selected areas. To add another contrasting layer a selective pin...- Panzerwrecker

Flakpanzer IV Ausf G Wirbelwind (Dragon)
The camo was airbrushed freehand with a finer Iwata needle with the compressor set to around 12psi. I used Tamiya Lacquer LP56 dark green 2 followed by LP57 dark brown 2. Once dried, with the aid of those underlying hairspray layers, high usage and damaged areas, along with the exhaust muffler...- Panzerwrecker

Flakpanzer IV Ausf G Wirbelwind (Dragon)
This is my first weekend painting and weathering session of the new year and I'm moving on a project I started around seven years ago! This will be a quick paint and weathering exercise on a kit already fully built and primed. This is one of four Flakpanzer IV variants that Dragon released. Kit...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
Little update report on painting the stowage items It has all been base painted with Vallejo acrylics and I have started the weathering process with some MIG enamels. It took some time to whittle down the selection of items I had prepared but I’m now happy with how they are now positioned. All...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
Its nearing the time when the vehicle needs permenantly fixing in place so I’m gathering together all the stowage and accessories to get them painted and weathered. I have been guilty of rushing this step in the past so I’m really going to try and focus on treating each one as an individual...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
To ensure the small stretch of raised road conformed right to the edge the piece first required framing. I had purchased some oak veneer but test fitting it exposed an issue with the cut of the Styrofoam on one of the sides. I had used a foam cutter, and I had started from what I figured was a...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
I'm still getting to grips with the updated site and hoping that both existing and new images will sort themselves out soon, so time for a little update on progress. My intention was always to display the sWS on a small vignette. I had made some rough drawings before building began and had...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
I have started adding volume to the scratches and scuffs and dirt and mud has been added to both the top of the fenders and the load bed area. Vallejo acrylic black brown was carefully painted into the centres of the exposed primer with a fine brush and enamel rust effects were spotted on with a...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
Thanks guys Thank you guys With the exhaust completing the weathering stages to the lower areas and running gear it was time to move onto the cab and load bed. The wire cutters first required painting. These were brush painted with Vallejo acrylics and the cab tarp received some acrylic...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
Thanks guys You might have noticed in the above pics that the exhaust muffler isn't painted. In my haste to weather the running gear, I completely forgot to add any effects to it before it got covered in mud splatters. I was now left with two options. One: add a small amount of rust effects...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
Beginning where we left off, I first tidied up any rough areas on the chassis legs so the running gear could be fitted. Before any more weathering could begin the wheels and tracks had to be fitted. I had used the kit individual links, and they were a little tricky to build around the wheels and...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
I’ll be honest, I’ve never attempted a muddy finish on an AFV so this is going to be interesting. Watching a few videos and taking inspiration from the guys that like to build vehicles set in the eastern European theatre it was clear that to pull this off I would have to step carefully. I plan...- Panzerwrecker

Bronco 1/35 Schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper (SWS) armoured version halftrack
The cab has been closed up. There are only four tiny locating holes to connect top and bottom cab assemblies and with the lower half having a slight downward bow a few clamps were required to hold it while the glue cured. There is a little clean up required but TBH it could just as well be...- Panzerwrecker

It's been a while since the sWS got any quality attention but I have been pottering with it on and off this year. The road wheel tyres were airbrushed with Tamiya Tyre Black and individual accessories painted. Before the cab assemblies can be fixed together the instrument binnacle, radio and...- Panzerwrecker

Painting and weathering Dragon kit 6562 - 8 ton Sd.Kfz. 7 Mittlerer Zugkraftwagen
A leisurely pace continues with the mittlerer Zugkraftwagen 8t. I managed a few hours this week selecting from the discarded paraphernalia accessories I had made. Fixing and blending them on to the load-bed will be the next step. My 10 year old tarp sculpting efforts are looking a bit ropey, so...- Panzerwrecker

Any metal and punk fans out there?
I wouldn’t really call myself a massive metal or punk fan anymore. My first recollection of a sound that floated my boat was Black Sabbath’s Neon Nights when it hit the charts in 1980. Up until that point I had only really been exposed (subjected to ) more folksy, poppy tunes like the...- Panzerwrecker
