Primer done today. Unfortunately I still use the spray cans for this. Started to snow just as I finished painting. I already see a few blemishes. Ahh well better than having to go to work.
Gotta pick up a few new and different colors before the base coat and camouflage. That'll be Friday. Perfect time to sand the snowflakes and let it cure.

Finally time for for a bit more progress.
Let's shoot the basecoat!
But first that mottling thing I tried on the Panzer III. Oh how I love this method. First I squiggled some Tamiya dark yellow-
Then some white-
Then the Finnish Green-

Great work on this Stug Mr Chef, the mods you're making and the background research you've done so far make this one stand out from the regular run-of-the-mill examples.
