Re: My Panzer IV
Lol, now I have seen the link, Mick. Ok, you won. I owe you a kiss, LOL.
The thing is, I wanted to put the Kriegsmarine flag, but you know, here in central Europe you can even go to jail if you show (or post a photo with) a svastika... So I was not really sure what to put there until a Spanish friend gave me the idea to make my troops spanish volunteers of the 250th Division in Russia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Krasny_Bor (Worths to take a look at the link) I thought it was such a good idea, that I started to prepare the masks for the flag... And then I noticed I had no yellow paint, lol. So I took this other flag, related with them.

Re: My Panzer IV
A friend of mine has donated me one of his new Noteks. I love it! If you want to order one, they cost about 1,5 euros each! You can find them here: https://www.shapeways.com/product/TYQHZ ... -inventory
I also added an incorrect combined rear/brake light, just because I like it.
I am currently writting the entry of this tank for my website. All will be explained in dept and better pictures will be taken. Stay tunned!

Re: My Panzer IV
Nothing wrong with adding something just because you like it. As I say below every message
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Re: My Panzer IV
Honestly screw them. As we have said to each other many times it’s a model interpretation of the real thing and though it won’t please the rivet counters. We built it and like it and that’s all there is to itRad_Schuhart wrote:Cant agree more!

Re: My Panzer IV
Good Morning,
Rad! The printed Notek Lights are a great thing! I am still waiting for one from a fellow in Germany to be shipped to Forgebear to be sent on to me. Your Pz IV is loaded with detail. That always flips my levers! Eye Candy! Exhibited Brute! I agree with you, make your vehicle as you want it. You own it, it is yours. Also, to be fair, Rivet Counters have their own place and serve a very useful purpose to the Hobby, unearthing research and in many cases, finding proof that gives Hobbyists the scope to add that detail that they like. No 'Us' and 'Them', we are all one big Hobby. Following along as usual. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Re: My Panzer IV
Happy to see a green convoy light instead of blue. Good call my friend. Beautifully modeled tank in all aspects.

Re: My Panzer IV
Hi mate, thanks for the kind words And yeah, the Notek is a super cool add I will probably adjust the bright of it with the Elmod board, because I think at this very moment moment it might be too bright, but it is super cool nonethelessPainlessWolf wrote:Good Morning,

With the rivet counters I guess it is a mixture of love and hate. They are very usefull and living encyclopedias to consult any question and that is unvaluable, for sure. But in my personal case I am sometimes a bit pissed. After the effort and creating some cool things some guys are only able to point the wrong details.
Just talking about this panzer, some different guys were able to say:
Zimmerit is to wide. (well, maybe, don't know)
That flag was never in a tank (No way to proof it by the way)
That camo did never exist! (Well, it seems there was at least one panzer IV like it, but it is not clear, so OK)
The troops have blue scarfs and blue gloves, shame on you! (Well, this is true, I painted it this way because I liked it, like the crew in my 1951s king tiger viewtopic.php?f=23&t=29694
And then no mention at all of the rest of the job. So for me it is a bit dissapointing... But at the other hand inspiring! It made me make my own war in my own dystopian battlefield. Walking robots and strange flying artifacts are some things I am beginning to develop for my battlefield and will be showed here when ready!
