Cheers guys. The rivets indeed was painful for the eyes. Now I have finished adding the zimmeret to the turret. Next step is to add any other small details. Keep posted for more. Image

Thank you. Well I've managed to spray a coat of black primer on the upper hull and turret. I'm struggling to get the wheels off to paint the base. Guess I shall just have to work around them. Next step is priming the base and then going from there. ImageImageImage

Hi Have a look at the Late king tiger build for priming road wheels. Fast and catches the inner road wheels. :D

Huzzah. I managed to get the drive wheels off. Still fighting with the main wheels. I feel this may be a lost cause. Oh well. I'll manage. Still debating a colour scheme for the beast. Open to suggestions.

Does this mean you are going to buy the Schumo Cupola MG Mount?
If so be aware that it needs a lot of work to get it right.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I actually have the DKLM one in the stash. So I was thinking of using that for saving it for the panzer iv.
