Looking good Nick, very nice indeed mate :thumb2: .

Certainly looks very realistic Nick. All the aftermarket zimm I've come across looks too neat and complete. I'm sure in real life it wouldn't last long before it became damaged.

I have a few Panzerwrecks books, and yes some applications look like they were done during bombing raids, put it this way ..... I wouldn't want to slide down the glacis.....:dizzy:

Nick,
Very nicely done mate. Looks superb.

[Niho]

Cheers all for tagging along, when this is near done it'll be going over to Dioramas Under Construction...
last night i only did a little, had the Bton Europa game on....
So i guess the zimmerit will be finished at clubmeet tonight lol

Not glued hull top and bottom together, reason being is to do wheels and tracks, but I'll have to carve the base foam next to set the swingarms before wheels etc.
All good in sleepy Sussex

Looking good Nick, will look even better with the paint on.

I have finished the Glacis plate this a.m. now curing off whilst I'm at work.

And yes perfectly uneven, a man with a ladder did each side then they did centre section, hence the higgldy piggldy finish.
