Not sure about the wheel yet ... I kind of like that it stands out like a sore thumb you knowPainlessWolf wrote:Alpha,
It's coming along and looking good. Will you paint the one road wheel the lighter color as shown in the Show? Nice work and quickly done.

....but I might... as it did dry darker than I thought it would..the cool thing is you can really see it from a distance ...I'll probably end up flipping a coin when I'm touching everything up

My nieces really enjoy the videos too and why I asked about your figures, I know they would enjoy the tanks more with these Panzer Girls in the hatches over the HL crew. Tried to give them something for now "LOVER"
... I liked that too... Not the new 3d American version though..I am selective with the Anime that I like...Girls Und Panzer Is one of the better ones that came out in the last four or five years ...It is really what drew me to the hobby...as I could combine my garage kit methods.. and put them in a moving object and having the combination make sense 
Nope! Tools are still unpainted, and one might argue that the overall color is too light.ALPHA wrote:Was that QUICK enough?

...........shovel is falling off... but for the most part ...tools painted anime style ............. 
...the color? Thinking of redoing it when I do the L70 and the Panther they are all the same tone... just mix one big batch of paint and wham ALPHA wrote:Which ones ?Lert wrote:Nope!

Mostly on the handles of the hammer and shovel, and on the two brechstangen. The one in the anime also doesn't have the rope coil fitted the attachment for it. I'm just picking nits here, and it's by no means a big deal (after all, I didn't even get rid of the 'cyclops' eye on my HL JP, which is something that really needs doing and you did do) but just me poking you a bit after your 'was that quick enough' remark. You know, a friendly prod. Your tow cables are also short, but that's just a limitation of the materials you've got. .... Yes, the anime has it wrong. The commander sits behind the radioman to the right of the gun and has the hatch with the stereoscopic telescope. The gunner sits to left of the gun and has the monoscopic telescope that moves with the gun traverse. The loader sits behind them both and has the rear square crew door and the second round crew hatch, lucky sod. I suppose that the commander could poke out of the rear round hatch if (s)he wanted to, though.

The colors don't really match.
Hmm. Looking at the screenshot from the anime, I see a few handles I can scratchbuild and attach to my own JP's roof crew hatches. Makes them easier to open, too.
Also, is that the commander figure? She's in the loader hatch, the commander hatch is the other one.
Again, all this is just me nitpicking and engaging in a bit of friendly ribbing. What matters is if you're satisfied with your model, that's the important thing.
......................................Dang it... gonna watch the video ........................ Colors on a computer screen are very difficult to judge anyways. Especially those of real world objects, photographed with a camera. There's always lighting difference, and different monitors will have different hues - just try to colormatch two different monitors showing the same image from the same computer, it's nigh on impossible.ALPHA wrote:the color in the photos are too deep
