Inspiring work, looks great and shows how much can be done with a monotone vehicle to create a stunning effect.

Terry.

Very NICE work!!!  Great combination of the vehicle,figure and base.  Really nice to see an example of the other countries.  Love it.

Fantastic work.     One of my favorite tanks as well.

A+   !

Thanks for sharing

Wow. I'm a big 38(t) fan, and this one is right near the top of the list for finished builds I've seen.

Wow! What a great BIG An utterly superb job! The post shade is just beautiful and the weathering sublime!

I need to build a 38(t) asap. They look great and being a big fan of early war armour I'm ashamed of myself for having not built one sooner! 

Thanks for sharing this lovely build with us!

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like it!

Excellent job.

The "satellite" powers that fought alongside the Wehrmacht rarely get their due (especially considering they often were given 2nd line equipment yet still expected to hold front-line positions!) and you've captured the down-at-heel nature perfectly with this little vignette. The damage to the stowage box, the wear and tear, and of course the unique nature of the Hungarian uniform all make this one stand out IMHO. Very nice work all around.

Thank you for your kind words

@Scott- paintchpis are painted with a small piece of sponge and tiny brush. there is notice about that (and used colors) in this thread

Beautifully done KFS! The base, tank and figure are all beautiful!

Thanks for the show!!Brilliant!!!

Excellent finish on the 38(t)!

This is a good example of color modulation, paint chipping, weathering and scale effect all in one build.

Just read the thread regarding 'Scale effect by Steve Z' and must say your technique for color modulation is on the cutting edge of what is current in the hobby.

The blue tint was risky yet the finished product speaks for itself.

Tanks for posting your professional work, many appreciate viewing & learning from your style.

Beautiful build and finish!  Love the Czech Panzers and it's nice to see one in a different scheme.

Wow. I'm a big 38(t) fan, and this one is right near the top of the list for finished builds I've seen.

Oops... Must of hit post twice.

Sorry.

Scott

A first class build.

If I may ask how do you do the paint chipping?

Scott

Beautifully done!!

Finished!

Thanks
Before some final touches on the tank I mounted in on the base.

Next I retouched suspencion and lower parts of the hull with some more pigments and soil. Oily patches are made with Dark wash from MIG, Oil from Lifecolor and smoke from tamiya

Gallery pictures soon

Paintchips. Applied with piece of sponge and tiny brush. First light gray, then smoke and mix of smoke, glossy black and gunmetal at last

SUPERB!

paintwork on the figure is finished..

Thank you for your kind words

to be honest, i don't know Tony Greenland's works..

Tracks are just airbrushed. In this case precision is not really needed, because the details are disappearing under wash, mud, dustt etc..

How do you paint the model with the tracks assembled, like you have? I saw this technique before, but I dont get it. Very nice model.

An AWESOME finish on that tank, honestly---your work reminds me strongly of Tony Greenland's models. I can see his spirit in that finish. Is he an influence?

Nice figure and base as well; the tank is so well done that I was almost tempted to overlook those, but the whole presentation is just superb!

Slightly washed, as usual with van *** oil paint. Thinned with thinner for washes from MIG.
At the same time I started to paint figure. Firs skinny tones on the face

I colored all details with valejo acrylics. Next were decals. no it is ready for wash

some highlights and shadows with airbrush..
first i applied some highligts on surfaces, with neutral gray. next was shadows with very thinned dark blue. last I paint some more higlights on some edges and details with white strongly thinned with mr. thiner

Interesting techniques!

Most would never think of using plasticine for modeling bases. Its the right density to hold yet will remain malleable long enough to be re-sculpted if required. Also any pins can be simply pressed in with no need to drill, a issue I had using tile grout for a diorama. (after it hardened had to drill a few holes destroying the drill bits)

The black base coat is something I have been doing last few builds. Instead of coating the entire model I use a enamel wash to highlight details. Under fenders and side hulls are painted black to help darken the shadow areas.  

Looking forward to the finish!
