The 13th Panzer Division, alongside other elite armored units,participated in the final major German offensive of World War II, “Operation Spring Awakening”,near Lake Balaton in Hungary during March 1945
This is Dragon’s Jagdpanzer IV along with some generic figures.The base is a simple pre made base all I did is add a gray filter to tone down the white and a brown wash to dirty it up.figures are painted in Vallejo.I used the hairspray method on the SPG over Tamiya paint.It was a fun project,thanks for looking.

Excellent build Tony, the dio just puts it over the top. Did you use anything special for the snow, or is it just the textured base painted? Which is no less impressive of course.

Looks great @Tojo72! The infantry really bring it to life.

Your worn whitewash and the rusty stuff – that muffler in particular – are really excellent.
