Tamiya Pz.III J

Hey all,
Just to prove I haven’t been totally lazy, here’s a few pcts of the Tamiya Pz III J.
It’s pretty much OB.Stowage is half spare box stuff and half hand made.I’ve just been working bits and pieces on this and the Tamiya Marder III.Even though it’s a shelf queen it was a fun build.Gave me a chance to work on oil weathering with just a touch of pigments here and there.

I’m hoping to get more gumption and put out somemore builds.I guess summer just isn’t my time of year to sit at the bench for long periods of time.Anyway, thanks for looking.

…nice job with the dusty appearance; it is hard to make dust look real like it does on your J…

Don’t worry about your model output, Stug61; if your builds come out this fine then its time well-spent!

This is really excellently done–I love the dusty finish, and the helmet on the TC gives a nice senes of battle-readiness! Love the stowage on the rear too–somethin you don’t see too often on panzer models; it looks pretty cool!

I like the sag in the kit tracks where they pass over the return rollers. Whatever method you used to achieve this effect is very well hidden. Nice work. [tup]

Very nice, definitely has the look of having travelled some hard miles. [tup]

Always nice to see your work Andy. I love the dusty look also. the stowage on the back is really cool. Did you backdate the L? I thought the J had a vision port on the turret and escape hatch in the hull.

Stug,

Another fine work!

Awesome job Andy i love it the weathering is perfect and the stowage looks great.

I appreciate the comments all!!

I’m never really happy with my results, always trying to do better.

And yes Eric you’re right.It’s the L. I just got the new DML J and mistyped!!!

I was so awe inspired by the new Kit I had J on my mind!!!

Couldn’t be that I’m getting old!!!

Hey STUG61,

[#ditto] to all of the above. I must say the track sag is what really caught my eye. Great job. There’s a lot of talent on display there. Are you sure you’re from MEEEEECHIGAN? [:-^][:O][swg].

Well, even if that’s true, I’d still go [tup][tup][tup][tup].

Thanks Joe!!

From a nut… er I mean a Buckeye that means alot!!![;)]

Andy, speaking of football, we collide on Sept. 8 in your “Big House”. I’m afraid we will get roasted. LOL (Oregon v.s. Michigan)

I think you should not discredit your self Andy.

That Panzer III looks excellent from my screen. [tup]


Ben

Oh I know Eric!!!I was gonna email you(I still will) I plan on being there for the revenge!!!

Thanks a bunch Ben!!! I guess I feel if I ever get to the point of not wanting to improve it’s time for a new hobby!!

Thanks again!!

I wish it was for an Old School Rose Bowl of yore. [:(]

Touche [banghead][banghead]
