Good job with the tank, crown!

That is looking very nice Nick.

the bike and rider so far.

Ok sprayed clear flat most of the tools comander and loader in place still needs some small stuff and Im working on motorcycle and rider but here are the latest pics.

Tamiya clear flat.

thanks buddy did some rusting and test fit of track segments and all 6 decals!! next some dusting clear flat and tool placement.

Oh, yeah; it's a pain when the fit isn't very precise.  Still--you did a good job getting it sorted.

 because the hooks on the Turret doesn’t line up with the segments of track cutting refitting bla bla bla .... I’m picking fly sh&@ out of pepper . 

Looks good, Nick.  What was it, gave you trouble and pain?  

spare track weathering and placement what a pain...

Great looking detail work, Nick!

little by little my friend. 

the tools , cables,section of track and the spandau. I used tamiya paints ,oil washes and snj polishing powder.

Turned out really well.

No I thinned the paint a little thicker then 2% and with the tip of a pointed brush.

Fantastic, Nick.  Did you do the spots with an airbrush?

John Im really rusty on diao's but some day.

CM many thanks started oil washes and figures

Looks better and better, Nick!  Outstanding!

Ben:  I've updated the finish-photo.  Thanks for participating in the GB, and making the diorama shot available.  It looks very realistic in the setting.

Thank you John Ive been airbrushing for along time now its practice lots of boo boo's. In fact I still have my 1st airbrush monogram hell cat I still look at it from time to time I think it was 16 or 17 years old at the time.

 

You’re welcome, crown. I have more practice to do w/ my airbrush... 

Boy! You’re near the end of your tank project!....Are you going to make a diorama? 

pieced together and sprayed over all tamiya gloss clear, some drying time and weathering in A.M. before cooking for the mom's tomorrow

No preference, you pick your fav.

I wouldn’t mind having an airbrush which sprayed a wider pattern, as well; but the Talon is a good airbrush and has good quality.  Maybe I’ll get better at airbrushing with more practice...

Anyways, good job with the tank, crown! [If only I could paint models just as well...:) ] 

Also, good job with the figures in the Kubelwagen, Drums. I’ll just leave it at I’m not too good with painting figures... 

More great work, Nick!  The Tiger is outstanding!  

That is fabulous, Ben.  And I will be happy to replace the finish photo with one of these.  Do you have a preference?

Thanks for your insights on the airbrush, Eric.  It's always good to gather information.  

Eric. Im glad you like the talon and for your input.

I installed the real heavy tracks , they need some finessing.

Ben that looks stunning!! 

I like the 3rd pic in my opinion   

I agree,..... nice tiger Nick! 

I really like the aircraft too, especially the invasion stripes.

Eric's Panther is a jem as well, great winter weathering.

This was one of my favorite GB's. All of your builds ROCK!

I finally completed the diorama portion of the 1/16 kubelwagen. Since it was part  of this GB I hope you don't mind if I share it here (?). Just a couple photos:

If you want, you can update my completed photo with one of these (?).

Your thoughts...

v/r,

Ben

CM thank you I tighten up the camo with my paccsche talon with a fine .o5 needle.

and applied ambush camo (the dots ) over all next clear gloss coat and weathering

That looks fantastic, Nick.  Excellent work with the soft-edge camouflage!  It's beautiful!

KJV:  I looked that type of airbrush.  They are supposed to be really good at spraying very fine lines, something lacking in the Paasche H kind.
