Hi Tyler, Looking good man, The afvs look choice and the figs look cool too, I especially like the guy in the white coat. Itll be good to see them tooled up. Awesome mud i use to use real sifted dirt mixed with pva and water but i prefer pigments for dirt and dust. i like your style.

thank you very much heres the afv's painted and the figures tooled up. For the jagdpanzer i used tamiyas dark yellow/red brown and model master's dunkelgren RLM 71. the munitionsschlepper is tamiyas panzer grey and now im going to start whitewashing the models using the hairspray technique.

Outstanding work Tyler, will be keeping an eye on this one.
Keep up the good work & have fun.

Ummm.... not sure about this at all ...
Firstly Tyler, I think you've got some AB problems, even though your pics are rather blurry I can see spiders & blotches that look as though you're thinning the paint too much, using too high a pressure, getting too close or a mixture of all 3.
Secondly, why is the munitions wagon painted Panzer grey? No German vehicles were anything other than Dunkelgelb after February 1943. You've also missed bits on the rear where the brass is showing through.
Thirdly, your figures are kinda unfinished coz there's base plastic showing through the paint. Also you could think about painting their kit on sprue instead of on the figs - I can see where you've missed bits, such as on the spare magazine pouches.
Lastly, be careful how you do the whitewash. When the Ardennes offensive started there was no snow on the ground, so no vehicles had winter camo. Some got it during the operation, but it wouldn't have worn off too much due to the short time that they'd have seen action.
Sorry if my comments seem harsh, but there's no point in saying ' well done ' if you've room for improvement.
Cheers

well done tyler....... we ALL have room for improvement.Comment

Second that...Comment

Tyler, your enthusiasm knows no limits!
O.k., there are areas for improvement. The same can be said for all of us on this forum.
I well remember your first model you did on here.....your work has come on in leaps and bounds since then. This modelling game is such that we all keep on learning until we drop dead!
Keep plugging away and remember, it's your model. Take pleasure in building and painting it.
Learn from your minor errors, enjoy the words of encouragement from fellow modellers and move on to the next project....

thank you all for the comments but now i have come to a problem: long story short the tracks for my munitiosschlepper are melted (this is not an april fools joke) so the project will have to wait until i can hopefully get some more tracksComment
-
They melted???!!!? I had problems with them too but they seemed to maintain thier structual integrety. What glue did you use? (so i can stay away from it )
Modelling has no reverse gear...onwards onwards.Comment
-
i use testors glue and it wasnt completely the glues fault it was my fault i heard of people using tape to hold the tracks in place as they build so i decided to use the only tape available which was duct tape and well I guess the adhesive chemicals on the tape reacted with the plastic/glue and decided "hey lets melt the plastic so that the tracks can not be assembled" so when i tried taking the tracks off some came off but the rest melted/fused together into this mess of tracks that could not of been used.
Moral of the story: avoid duct tape when modellingComment

Thats sad news for you but great advice for us and for that i salute you lol.
I know there are masterbox replaceable tracks but arent they as crap as the boxed ones? the tristar schlepper comes with band tracks maybe you could score a set.
I also think the version of the maulitier i have has a bandset that might fit too, Which is Trumpeteer i think. edit..Nope its Italeria
Sorry i cant be of more use, but let us know if you get a good replacements as i have 2 of these kits tracks That id rather replace.
good luck.Comment

Tyler, hard luck with the melted tracks.....
As the dio is in a bit of mud, could you not still use them? Fix them as best you can with the repair at the bottom, then just push the model into the soft mud a bit. That way the repair will not be seen.
For some reason, you seem to have lost a bit of your enthusiasm for this build. I for one would like to see you carry on and complete it, as I was enjoying seeing it come together.
Cheers,
RonComment

Well spanner I am possibly thinking of trying to just build the top and some of the bottom parts of the track and do that. As for the enthusiasm.....its mainly personal issues but im pretty much I'm depressed.....i still love building models and all but my self esteem right now is really bad.....Comment
-
No pressure mate if things arent going your way just put it all aside untill you can be bothered.
Dont take peoples crits and comments to heart, They are honestly intended to help.
I blame the schleppers tracks i recall wanting to quit modelling after doing that kit too lols =pComment

Hi Tyler, sorry to hear about your problems mate. As aarons already said, put it aside for a few days, till you get your enthusiasm for the build back. I think I can speak for most of us that we've all had builds that have gone wrong, and we coulda thrown it across the room!!!!
Cheers. AndrewComment
