It takes a bit of practice, I'm using Miliput...
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Last night I decided to add weld lines to the periscope-parts of the cupola too, only to find out the AA MG-ring has welds too haha! Once you start... :wink:

Satisfying work!

I like to apply a filter to all surfaces, slightly changing the color but also working as a wash.
The engine plate left is done, the turret roof right not.

By taking that photo I found I need way more weld-lines haha!

Quick test with some sort of pinwash.

Built in the Benedini Mini Sound System with amplifier and two car speakers. WAY better sound then the Tamiya DMD-unit!

2 speakers, one in the front one in the rear. Great sound! Pretty loud haha!

Took all the fenders of, sanding all the rust off, priming them and finally respraying them in Dunkelgelb.

That video is just too, too cruel, too unfair, Marco. >:< There must be lots of envious eyes focussed on it right now. ;D It's like a man dying of thirst in a desert, seeing a mirage of a fountain of beer and whisky.. or Prosecco, if you're that way inclined8O
You lucky bas**rd :lolno: :haha: :thumbup:
I comfort myself with the knowledge that it is not the Armortek Panzer IV :lolno: Boo hoo...

The end result was a LOT of cleaning. Even dog poo. :'(

Almost completely stripped now so I can sand everything and repaint...
