Here are some updated pics of my PzIII.
Wash is complete now.
Just need to do some touch ups, attach the treads and give her a flat coat.
It may not be anywhere close to show quality, but I am pleased as punch.
Its my first tank in many years since getting back into the hobby.
It looks 1000 times better in person than in the photos.[:D]
Still any critiques are always welcome.
The Pz II in the background is something I did years ago. Hopefully the improvements are evident. (or not)
It looks good from here.
Great work so far.

The wash is a bit too dark!
I appreciate the critique
Thats kinda one of the things I was worried about as well.
I’m not sure how exactly to tone it down.
More Thinner?
Less paint?
Something else?
Looks good, you could try some pastels to tone the wash down
I think it looks great. Nice job
Very nice work. THe wash really did make a big difference. Maybe one more layer of drybrushing would really make the detail pop out.
Just out of curiosity, that little Pz II, I don’t know if it’s your camera or what, but it looks black!?!
That or you could use a light overspray of the base color.
It might be the flash or something, but the tires look a tad shiney.
Great work, I’m finishing my PZ III also, maybe later this week. [:p]
Good job!
I agree, It does look black! The pz III looks great in my oppinion, wash and all. Is the black pz II painted in a made-up sceme? If not, where did you find that sceme?
looks cool. the wash will probably get toned down with a flat-coat. if you really wanted it toned down you could do a really thin wash of a lighter color like burnt umber. i’m building a panzer 3 right now as well. aust M with the sideskirts and all.
It looks much better a flat coat should get rid of the flash Good Job![:D]

I appreciate the comments and criticisms folks.
I really and truly do.
I agree that the camera flash makes for poor photos, and as I write this the PZIII is off to the painting hood for a dullcote.
Regarding the PZII As I mentioned its a older kit by sevral years and probably not accurate. Its painted in a dark Metal-Flake grey that apprently turns black under the camera. I shot another photo to try and get better results, but it turned black as well.[:I]
It actually looks semi nice in person. like a metallic tank scrubbed up for inspection, or fresh off the line.
