Great stuff Link … nice job on the website too for a non-computer person.
Your work on all the kits viewed is top-notch. A pleasure to see it finally.
Thanks for sharing !!!
Thanks Gip. The Panzer IV F was a back-date kit-bash, using Tamiya and Dragon parts, specifically: The turret roof from Dragon, and the short gun from Tamiya’s Panzer IV D, with the addition of Italeri driver’s and RO’s hatches. The running gear is OOB, since the original kit (Tamiya’s Pzkpfw IV H [Early]) included an earlier drive sprocket. I used the earlier nose armor plate, and added a scratch-built step to the left fender. The cooling fan housings are included in the kit too, so it was an easy matter to make the cooling chamber from plastic sheet.
The weathering on both models was basically the same: since they were desert vehicles, the main weathering involved faded and oxidized paint, chipped paint (Afrika Braun was oversprayed on Panzer Grey, then small spots of Panzer grey added at wear areas) and dust. It was all accomplished with several layers of dry-brushed colors, mixing the base color with white to fade it. The dust is added as a nearly-white shade of sand. Oil color, a mixture of Raw Umber and Ivory Black, was brushed on wear areas to suggest ground-in dirt, then Silver mixed with Raw umber was dry-brushed on the same wear areas (lightly… this is easy to overdo). If this isnt clear, feel free to ask other questions. And thanks for the kind words.[:D]
Impressive stuff [bow]
Nice web page, simple and easy to navigate…
Herr Gray [:-^]
You maybe a little computer illiterate, but you certainly are a dab hand at modelling. I take my hat off to anyone that can paint a horse that looks as natural as yours do.
Gotta say the Panzer 3 is my Fav. Scratch building the internals…a man after my own heart. Thanks for letting us have a peek; I having second thoughts posting my efforts now.
Thanks, Herr Grey. I can’t take all the credit for the ease of navigation; the Trellix Site Builder made it easy (it’s designed for people like me!). And thanks for visiting the site; I’m glad you liked it.
Thanks, Mike. You may be right; I’ve tried several more times to post pics here and I always get the red “X”. I have a new computer so I know it isn’t that. However, up here in the frozen north we are still dealing with 70s phone lines, so it may be problem there. Why my pics upload to the website and not here is a mystery to me. Moderators, any suggestions?
