World at War 1939-1940 Group Build

Thanks, stik!  I just had to go with the photo of the tank and the infantry.  Great work on both!

Thanks for being part of the GB.  Your participation is always spectacular.

Thank you Check. Whichever of the two photos that you prefer will work just fine.

Beautiful work, stik.  The weathering really enhaces the appearance.  Excellent results--on both the figures and the tank.  

Do you have a preference for the finish-photo?  I like the one with the infantry, but the second one from the top is really good, too.

Thanks Check! I finished it up a few hours ago, and here she is in all her glory!

The Boche are that way!

Comments and critiques are welcome...

Looks terrific, stik, from all the angles.

I could say i am surprised it hasn't raised a white flag, but that would be cruel.

 

Just a wee bit....

Dry brushed highlights on...

And with the French soldier

Just need to add some dirt weathering and then I’m calling this one done....

Excellent looking build Carlos - glad to see it back on the bench!

 

Well it’s just been sitting there on my bench for weeks mocking me to finish it... in French! This will not do!

Had forgotten about this one, will be nice to see it finished.

Thanks Check. I’m ready to be done with this one.

This is looking really great, stik.  Nice work!

Ok, I’m getting back on this one to get it over the finish line. 

Flat coat on. I used Tamiya XF-86 Flat Clear for the first time, thinned with lacquer thinner. I like the results.

Next up dry brushing, then weathering.

Thanks Check! I think that this tank has a certain flair in its’ appearance.

Impressive work, stik!  Sharp-looking tank.

Kaysee, I’m looking forward to that big He-111!

I added and cleaned up an oil wash on this over the weekend.

Done, Kaysee!  Welcome to the GB!  Glad you're going to participate.  Looking forward to seeing how things go.  I haven't heard of that particular kit, but I have a few 1/72 He-111's waiting to go.

Oh, yes; that is all coming together so well.  The soldier is looking even better than before.  Nice touch with the roundel on top of the turret.  

Gloss coat of Future airbrushed on yesterday. Decals applied today. I did a bit of variation from the decal instructions adding a third set of tactical numbers to the turret rear and moving one of the ID roundels to the turret top.

And I’ve been working on my infantryman as well. 

More to come in a few days...

Thank you Nick. It’s turning out much better than I feared/expected... lol!

Well done on that tank Stik.

Thanks Check! Aren’t those French camo schemes good looking?

Thank you Pat.

Hi,

That's looking really good.

Pat

Overspray cleaned up... major base colors on...

And with my trusty Tamiya French Infantryman...

I think that I’ll do the gloss coat and decals next...

Thanks Check! Aren’t those French camo schemes good looking?

Very sharp-looking paint scheme, stik.  You carried it off very well.  Nice job!

This morning I added the black demarcation borders between the camo colors using a Sharpie Ultra Fine Tip paint marker

After lunch I took care of the overspray area, and started some detail item painting...

More photos later...
