discussion Academy 1/35 Jagpanzer 38(t) Hetzer

[Alan 45]

nice kit this is , goes together well, has nicely detailed parts plastic tracks and pe grill cover and exhaust


Only fiddly bit is the MG it's difficult to fit with the hatch open, I haven't decided what to do with it yet so I opened them just in case I put it in a dio and add a figure

Ta Alan,knew it was difference from the vallejo color,that's why i was asking,looks great ,

 

[eddiesolo]

That looks great mate, nice job all round.

 

[grumpa]

Nice job Alan, good pics too

 

[Wong Ryan]

it is not easy to do mono colored finishing, but you executed it perfectly.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers folks I appreciate that , after some consultation with a couple of bods I've decided to put this on a base but now I have to find out what the Germans used for flooring in houses in Germany in 1945 ??

 

[eddiesolo]

Either stone flagged for lower floor or wood.

Cheers mate the thing I'm using is a rural house so I would think ill use wood as that's more plentiful and easier for a rural person to fit

 

[eddiesolo]

Build the front of the house up, the tank will have mulched any flooring and will be settled down under the street level-foundation level.

That sounds good mate , I can do a frame of styrofoam and put rubble in the hole at one end , the hos is open so it looks like that's where the shell or bomb hit , put a wooden floor in one end with rubble and wood from the floor above and put the tank in the hole


Good idea mate

 

[Guest]

Very nice job Alan. I just do not know how you manage all of that with just hand brushing.


Very nice effects and great rust effect on the exhaust and silencer.

[Alan 45]

Cheers laurie I appreciate that


A lot of this build is dry brush effect , the only oil I've used on this one is the dirt around the barrel housing and on the rivets on the side of the hull which was a pin wash then dry brushed with a clean brush to get the water mark streak
