Stand by for some thing different !.
At last I've finished the StuG loaded the back as Paul would say with "CRAP IN THE BACK " Had loads of fun doing that part. When thay was done and the "rope " finished it was tome for some branches. That sea foam I treated years ago has come it. Sprayed with a brown primer and once dry sprayed with some glue and put the leaves over.

Will have to finish the Commander and then spay the whole thing in a XF clear mat.
Dio ground has been sprayed in Mr Hobby brown , now being left for 24 hrs before attempting the soil and grass.




Learnt a lot from this with the first time use of Tamya paints, also just given the AB its first proper clean ! Would have been numerous times with acrylics.

I'm amazed that's your first use of Tamiya paints John!

Beautiful work.

I'm in awe with the sharpness and detailing of the paintwork.

I've still to attempt a proper vehicle paint job yet and it makes me feel unworthy before I even try. Very inspiring to where I would eventually like to be.

Thanks for sharing

Toto

Well done Mr race, marvellous finish

Glad to read you’ve had a nice time using Tamiya paint and it’s not giving you trouble as opposed to acrylics. Although I do use both I much prefer using Tamiya

Once again, well done mate…looks fab

 

[Stefee]

Very impressive and realistic. As a complete military vehicle novice may I ask what the gap in the sheet armour on the right side is for?
