Also started adding some weld lines!
It takes a bit of practice, I'm using Miliput...

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

And I'm afraid it might interfere with the perfectly smooth turning turret I have right now.
Hi Marco
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...
