Nice work Alan, like the subtle weathering effect, don't like it when it's overdone, yours is spot on! ....................Jim

Looking very nice!


Weathering and work over a grey colour isn't easy, but you have done an excellent paintwork


Cheers

I really , really like the weathering. I are a ace of this technique. Are you going to bring it to life with a diorama?

Hi Monica try tamiya 35053 German mounted soldier? Think it's reasonably priced and say 2 of these and your creative skills heh presto mounted polish against panzer?
Just a suggestion

that sounds like an idea indeed ,just google polish lancers and change the uniform,

Cheers guys I appreciate the kind words

Great tank Alan and it really deserves a base to show it off

You know the pizza bases that Ron (Spanner570) makes everything out of well I gave it a a go


I'm thinking of a low wall and railings with some tram tracks

Nice build Al, looks really good, subtle yet realistic. Good work all round.

At first I thought " a nice build, but nothing exceptional ".... but the more I look at it, the more I like it as subtle details become more apparent. Goes to show that first impressions aren't always right!


I still think either a better camera or taking more time will give much clearer photo's Alan. I can't shake the notion that we're missing a lot of the good stuff atm!

Thanks guys I appreciate that

Alan, this is one of your best models, superbly done mate. Weathering is subtle and effective, I love it.


Regarding Panzer numbers, I looked the system up when I built my Tiger. A few links that may help to decipher the codes used:
