Work in Progress - Stug, Nashorn

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

After a 10 year hiatus from modelling as a 13 year old I have plunged back into the modelling world. For the first time I have immersed myself in the arts of dry-brushing, oil washes, pastels, etc… This is my very first project. The vehicles are not 100% accurate but I am enjoying myself building and painting them. I still need to outfit the vehicles with some stowage and a crew and the final step will be blending them into the diorama base. I am highly appreciate of any feedback on what I can improve on, etc.

Since the pics are big i put them on my webshots. You can see the full scale version by simply clicking on the picture and then clicking on the Magnifying Glass underneath:

Overall, they’re nice projects. Something that occurred to me with your Nashorn is that the barrel is slid back on about 15mm too far. Its breech should be further forward. FYI

Fantastic stuff, especially that Nashorn. Hard to believe it’s 1/72!

Thank you kindly for the feedback. Besides the breech not being in the right position (i am not very happy with the moulding on it in general) i noticed i did not sand down the barrel smooth enough.

The first two pics are of a 1/72 scale Nashorn I built along for fun - the diorama Nashorn is actually a Dragon 1/35 scale.
