ok, i know i havent been here. i ve had some serious delays as you can see. i put this build on hold for a while (personally) thanks to a hitch in my layout of my dio. it may not seem like much but, im a rivet counter, so i had to deal with it. ive been doing some other builds in the meantime. im sorry if you guys thought this thing was dead. i just havent been keeping up with things.

panzer- the puma looks excellent. the paint has a nice faded look to it. post up some more pics.

price- i havent used my archers yet, but i have used other transfers before. you have to be careful with them, and position them exactly where you want them to go prior to putting them on, because once they're on, they're on. you use something called a transfer sheet to set the decals. using a pencil eraser or something with a blunt end, you burnish the transfer onto the carrying sheet. then you psition thedecal where you want it on the model,a nd burnish it on from the carrying sheet. you have to make sure that youve burnished all the decal completely before removing the sheet from the original sheet or the model, because otherwise youll be left with only parts of the decal, and itll be ruined like a water set thats shattered.

looks good overall price. I'd try to shade and highlight him a bit. try a general dark wash over the clothes, and a redish brown over the flesh parts, then use the color on eash clothing part that appears the most, or is the base color, lighten it, and use it to highlight the upper sides of folds. do the same for the flesh. hirghlight seems with a brush and the wash again, but this time, painting it onto the seems, and narrow regions like under the pockets, so as to highlight and pronounce them. that should really bring out what you've already done

Oh sorry gringe88. My bad. I have been painting figures for years. I have over 325 54mm figures and thousands of 1/72 scale figures. Plus I cast my own. Anyways, I used a small brush and regular Model Master enamel paints. Went with Panzer Olive Grun for the coat and some type of brown that I cant read for the pants. Tonight I am going to use some Red Brown and Green for the camo. Hope that helps!

Havent started with the weathering yet because I dont know what I want to do with it. I have a 251/1 thats sitting around and I might put the two together for a diorama. Dont know yet. As for the painting it was done by brush and spray paint using Model Masters Panzer Gray. Thanks for the kind words. I got the second coat on the figure's jacket and pants last night. He is going to have camo pants when I am done!

Howdy All,

Here is the finished Kubelwagen. All I have to do is finish the figure that comes with it and then weather it. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.







Again, thanks for looking.
