Morning Peter
I like the figures, they will be useful to add context and scale to the 38t.
There are "other" ways to paint smaller figures, and still achieve acceptable levels of detail.
All about washes and You Tube
Looks like it will be another fun day with your tank
Frost on the way soon

Thanks for dropping in chaps and for your encouraging words. Weathering is under way - typing this whilst waiting for a wash to dry.

More or less done and at the moment I'm not sure if I want to carry on with it.

Hello Peter,
I knew I could count on you to produce a kit of value and you have not let me down, looking forward to seeing the figures in place. :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Hi Peter, amazing armoured view. As with your figures, fantastic painting. Would love to see the armour painting progress. If you decide no more progress, the figures you mentioned would be missed. Really be good to see added, always high realistic.

Thanks chaps. Bit of a surprise as I'm not that happy with it myself. It does look better in the flesh though (I know we all say that). I have worked on it some more, and will wait until the return of daylight to finish it off. The Hecker and Goros figures arrived (white metal) and they look OK. I can't work out what the squatting chap is holding in his hands though - any suggestions? Looks like a bunch of rotten bananas to me.
John - After giving the various parts a basic coat of colour, the weathering was built up with dry-brushing and a series of washes. I started with a medium grey, then worked up to a light grey to pick up the detail and give a worn look to the panels. After a wash of thinned black, I gave it a rub over with powdered graphite (from a pencil), then continued dry-brushing with khaki, flat flesh and lastly white (all Vallejo model colour). Some of the panel lines and other details were then delineated with thin black applied with a fine brush. Basically, it's a matter of going backwards and forwards with the washes and dry-brushing until you get the desired look. It's more or less Francois Verlinden's technique (thus very out-dated!).

Nice one Peter.
Peter,
That looks good to me.

Good to hear you have the figures Peter. Probably are bananas :smiling:, although I would have thought they were ammunition rounds, but colour is denying that?
Thanks for the painting process as so complex to see finished that makes it so life real. Weather, wear and tear, etc. is visible and as described it is an ongoing use. Glad to hear it’s Vallejo as I have a lot of them to use. Please keep showing us

Great result Peter, bring on the figures.
Very well executed Peter! you did a great job
G
Thanks chaps.
I've done a bit more work and sorted out the lighting for better pics. I'm calling the vehicle done now:

Cheers Peter.
I only used one figure after all. The second Hecker & Goros figure turned out not to be very good, and the kit commander figure was much smaller than both. Here he is then:

Good fun, but a tricky re-learning curve. My bugbear is that it's very hard to find decent figures in 1/48, but I think that in this case the single figure is perhaps preferable.

Painting the figure did give me one almighty headache as it happens!
