This eternal project is finally done. It came out well with my 4 year old taking part. Now I really need to make some space to store this thing.

I agree with all the guys above....

You are doing a great job with the brush painting...

You are doing a great job with the brush painting. Never would have guessed unless you mentioned it.

You have me rethinking loading up the a/b for my all-too-frequent 5 second paint jobs.

Thanks for feedback! Parts count about 70-80 quickly calculated. Some details molded directly to the chassis part and rear plate. At this point I also think that paint is a little too dark. I would prefer lighter grey bluish tone. Going to finish it as it is and try to take photos under good lights.

Looking good - what fun.  What is the parts count for these little guys?  And I wouldn't be too concerned about historically accurate color - it's a toon tank!  

Well, you might want to check with others who know more about the subject but as far as I know the Germans did start painting AFVs grey again near the end of the war. I've heard explainations ranging from running out of the yellow paint to being better able to blend in as the fighting shifted to the ruins of German cities. The grey paint on a Konigstiger looks fine to me.

Your tank looks very nice as it is! I barely see brush strokes from the images. I'm excited to see the finished build and I just might pick up a toon tank myself!

I was not expecting a toon tank. I've seen these many times in the hobby store. Curious to see how it finishes out. Looks pretty good so far.

No worries, aaqee. They're typically painted in the three color scheme. I've not seen one in all German armor grey.

Box art looks cool though, so just keep going.

This is one of my favorite tanks

Not sure on the authenticity of the color scheme...

Do you mean the base color? I don't know about real colors and schemes but the hobby shop owner gave me Tamiya german grey with this model kit. This will be a practise work. Although I'll put my best on it. I think there will be time when I do more serious build like CV9030.

It's familiar machine to finns who served in the army. Actually my friend got to drive that thing.

The drybrushing for weathering effect is coming along fine. I wouldn't worry too much about rust on the turret. It would be very light, if any. Mostly the rust would be on the hull and suspension that where water runs down to and where the suspension comes in contact with mud and water on a regular basis.

I couldn't see the photos yesterday but they're showing up fine now. 

She looks good to me. Despite not having an airbrush you got a nice smooth even coat of paint on the turret. And the weathering and paint wear looks good. If you do the same on the hull she should turn out fantastic. Great job there on the tracks too. 

Thank you for fixing that. The pictures look great.

Not sure on the authenticity of the color scheme, but I like what you've got going on, for sure.

I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Oh sorry, no malware threat but it's my friends home server and there was expired SSL sertificate. Browsers nowadays gives warning everytime there is no secure connection.

edit: I got links fixed!

Sadly, the pictures are not showing up.

Clicking on your picture icons appears to open up a security threat. Possible malware.

You should get that fixed.
