Also started adding some weld lines!
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.

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...
Never imagened myself making weldlines to handles too!
Satisfying work!

All the little details will be worth it in the end. Fantastic work!

I just couldn'r resist slapping some paint on her! Just to see what it'd look like.

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.

Hi MarcoMarco Peter wrote:Yeah I know, I mean will one see it when I do install it.
And I'm afraid it might interfere with the perfectly smooth turning turret I have right now.
How much did this set you back for in price wise?

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. 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
I comfort myself with the knowledge that it is not the Armortek Panzer IV Boo hoo...

Hahaha 43rdRecceReg!
The end result was a LOT of cleaning. Even dog poo.
Almost completely stripped now so I can sand everything and repaint...
