J-Man, here is a picture of my Tiger I that shows the zimmerit I did using the Tamiya Polyester Putty. This was my first effort. The zimm isn’t quite as rough as it looks in the photo. I think that’s a result of the photo’s resolution.
If you go right to the link, it looks a little better.

WIPW fine job there , that came out great I must say ! Being an immediate gratifacation type like I am , I have not the patience for that ! Kudos my friend to you ![8D]
[:I][:I][:I] Why, thank you! That’s very kind of you. I’ve never been able to find the Cavilear for the kits I’ve been working on. I’d like to try it sometime.
Thanks, again!!

Thank you very much, Nick. I feel like such a “pauper”, skill wise, when I look at the beautiful stuff people post out here. It’s nice to know a few things are working out.

I used the ol’ ‘liquid cement and day of pressing into it with a screwdriver’ chestnut on my 1/72 Panzer IV… Each zim-lump os about 1.5mm wide…
Note the zimmerite through the lost skirt panel…
Zimm on the front of the hull and turret
Michaelvk: I love that model of panzer 4 ,… that is going to have to be a must for one of my future projects very nice job on that mini there !
Never been brave enough to try ( or even thing too hard about) putting zim on a 1/72. Nice job, Michael!!

Bill, looks like you did a dandy job on the zimmerit.
Bill, great job on the zim. Two thumbs up for you on the zim.
