                        Toilet Panzer III (More pics)
                        Posted by JWest21 on Friday, August 20, 2004 3:37 PM
                        Here is (hopefully- my first time posting a picture) my Panzer III. I call it the toilet Panzer because, while I was at work, my 3 year old "helped" me with the decals by placing them in the toilet to make them "sticky". Anyway, I posted online for help and two people sent me decals that allowed me to piece together the markings. Thanks boybuddho and TigerII! Ok here are some more angles. I tried making these bigger, but with no luck. Anyone else use photopic.com? Bigger pics available at http://jasonwest7529.fotopic.net/c265014.html

                        Hey JWest,

                        The picture's a bit grainy, but from what I can see it looks like you did a nice job. I always did like the Panzer III. Are those green blotches with borders of red brown?

                        Very nicely built JWest. Now the real question is..what was in the toilet when your son put the decals in Wink [;)]

                        Would love to see more pics from other angles. I am guessing that is Dragon's Panzer III M/N?

                        Yeah they are. I am messing with the pics to fix that grainy issue. I think I got it, but did it take a while to load for you? Maybe I need to shrink the file size

                        Ok, I fixed the size and grainy problem, now that I know what I am doing. It is Dragon's version with the green camo spots trimmed in brown. I will get some better pics up this weekend. I felt bad because I promised I would get a pic out for boybuddho and TigerII last week, and I just actually finished it. Luckily the toilet bowl was clean and I was able to actually salvage a couple of decals. I swear the mud on the tracks is not organic!!

                        That's a very nice Pz III you've built (and an interesting story). I really like the camo pattern.

                        Enjoy your modeling...

                        Love it, great job. I would like to see some other angles myself when you get a chance.

                        At least he didn't flush anything. I love the Pz III also and it looks very nice to me. I like the scruffed job on camo schurzen.

                        Thanks. I wanted a war weary tank so I banged and muddied up the schurzen pretty good. I originally bought it, planning on doing the N version, but I really liked the camo job on this one.

                        Hey Jason,

                        Nice job on the Pz III M. I see there are a lot of comedians on this site...:)

                        I would've like to have seen a Pz III N for a change. But you did a fantastic job with the camouflage.

                        Post some more pics when you get a chance.

                        Glad I was able to help.

                        OK, I am working on getting more pictures up. I used Ripaway.com for the first, but apparently they have a transfer limit, which I exceeded. I uploaded a bunch to Fotopic.com this morning, but they need to be manually approved. I put them up as soon as I can do it.
