Ok solved the windshield issue with the resin canvas wrapped one. Also started base painting the tools and such and weathering the leather on the seats and top and began to weather the exhaust and such.

Little more progress, not much more to add before i can start weathering:




it's been a while so any tips on how to weather panzer grey would be very helpful. (for reference this is the 1943 Russia scheme)

One thing you can correct is the placement of the jerry can spout.  It was not centered but to the right side.  Hope this helps

Really nice work here. I like the attention to detail, like the black CV boots on the front half-shafts.

Thanks RBaer :) I like to make sure as much is right as possible (which is why im off that i put the jerry can cap on in the wrong spot.) Also when i look at these pics they show me spots i have missed or need to touch up :D

Check out my Vorpanzer thread here -- VORPANZER -- I totally weathered up a Panzer Grey scheme with acrylics from a craft store.

Hope you have success!

Tiger, as I've been looking at your pics, I couldn't help thinking that a little bit of pre-and-post shading would have helped your finish on this one. I took the liberty of making a very rough edit of one of your photos to show how you might use your airbrush to both lighten and darken certain shadow and "light" areas. The best way to have achieved this would have been to paint a darker-than-normal base coat and then to have progressively highlighted with lighter and lighter shades of base color. Note how the lightest colors would be on the high points, even the "line" down the middle of the door?

Anyway, just an idea for something you might want to experiment with later. This style of painting is one of the key elements of my style of finishing---it begins with the very basecoat itself. Smile

I like the look of that Tiger. I do like the effects you have on the fabric areas. Nice finish on the paint job as well.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks doog, sadly i do not yet own a airbrush nor the skill to use one, (i do have someone local willing to teach me once i do get one) I will keep it in mind :)

Bish, ty :) I do what i can with my limited supplies and tools , painting miniatures helps with cloths/leather :)

Your talent for painting miniatures shows on all of that canvas. That looks like a showroom model and I like the look of how clean it is.

So far so good. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do next with it.  :)
