Graeme's Panzer IV, Simon's memorial build.

Thanks Lee, having battled with the fiddly etch, we now have paint! Only a coat of primer & plenty more to do.

[Tim Marlow]

Starting to come together Graeme. Looks good in primer.

Hi Graeme
Looks very good. The primer ties everything together. The tracks will drive you mad. Simon would have sat with a tray on his knees and cleaned them up infront of the TV and kept them in an empty margarine tub :tongue-out3: Looking forward the the painting.

Yes the difference a coat of primer can make, looks quite respectable now :thumb2:

[The Smythe Meister]

Gotta agree with the Guys here Graeme.....
...... the primer certainly does pull the whole thing together,it`s looking VERY Panzerlike now ,
BTW,that`s a very smooth coat you`ve put down too:thumb2:,
Following with much interest,

That green plastic just wasn’t doing it for me so seeing it in a different colour gets my thumbs up all day long :thumb2:

[Fernando N]

Looking great with the primer Greame, nice smooth finish:smiling::thumb2:

[Graeme C.]

Tim, Jim, John, Andy, Si & Fernando, Thanks for the kind words & support. The green plastic is pretty awful, mind you the primer does look a bit like one of the British Leyland shades from the 70's! Sandglow anyone?
I've done a pre-shade & sprayed primer where it needed it, building it up in thin coats, will have to take a couple of photos before I do any more.

We have top coat on the panzer, Tamiya dark yellow, which looks about right for DAK sand brown. i had to use flash for the photo, which makes it look rather washed out.

[BattleshipBob]

[Graeme C.]

Paul, Steve & Bob, Thanks for the compliments & encouragement.
Not much progress, just a bit of painting on the wheels & tools, hope to have some worthwhile progress to report soon!:rolling:

[Lee Drennen]

Graeme. It’s taking shape and looks good

[Graeme C.]

Thanks Lee!
Time for another update, top coat of paint is done, wheels painted & attached, painting the tools is nearly done. The tracks are being painted, but still a lot to do,
