    Thank you, but it’s really a quite basic OD-all-over with no shading, weathering, or other effects. It’s just that you can’t really tell from this photo

    And I now remember that for another model I entered in a club competition, one of the remarks the jury wrote on the form was that the weathering looked unrealistic, so I lost out on some points there. I had to smile at this, since I had gone to a good deal of effort to replicate the weathering visible in a photo of the exact tank I had built a model of

    Anyway, your Geschützwagen looks like it won’t have any trouble of that kind

      Thanks Jakko,

      Toned down the weathering with washes and added the MG34. Have been experimenting with the stowage before painting them.

        Hi guys,

        I'm calling this done and getting it ready for the stand. I managed to get the look that I wanted on the shields...

        The final spurt of matt varnish from an old bottle of Testors.

        In one sitting I got all the stowage painted and weathered and placed. I added rifles and a schmeisser and even a flare pistol.

        Grenades in a bucket and extra fuel cans. The kit is so bare that the extra wheel is to be stored without a clasp which I made from strip, cut hexagonal rod for a bolt. More chipping was added to the interior to look lived in.

        The effect I was looking for...paint wear and chipping.

        It's finally done. Thanks for hanging in there with me along the way.

          Richard,
          Looking really good, the wear and tear is spot on.

                Beautifully done Richard. Just the right amount of weathering.

                    Wonderful work Richard. Glad it turned out the way you wanted it. The extra detailing at the end makes it stand out. Well done mate

                      Thanks my fellow modelling buddies or following modelling buddies :smiling6: I would go replying one by one but time is short to touch up other entries for the Penang show this weekend. Doesn't help if I have to clean house on Thursday and attend a dinner the night before leaving on Friday morning. Altogether I have 20 displays including entries of which are six.

                      I still tinkered a bit burnishing the wheel rims and inside track, it's now on the stand. Pictures when I get back.

                      Cheers,
                      Richard

                                Hi Richard
                                Quite a journey with the finish but it really does look good now.
