Steven, nice to see you following through on a project and actually posting a sincere WIP. The paint looks pretty good.

One suggestion that would greatly improve your WIP posts--can you get some posterboard or some sort of uncluttered background? Seriously, take a look at some other people's photos and look at how much easier to look at they are. You can concentrate on the model, and not all the background junk.

I could try.  I made my own photobooth a long time ago but it isnt big enough for armor kits.  I will make an attempt, but I find it easier to just snap a photo a im working instead of waiting for it to dry, walking it to another room for a photo session, bring it back, and work more.

Where that Jagdpanther is stting in the last pics is where it got painted, I touched up the paint and then grabbed the camera.

  Most of the time I dont give a good WIP is because I forget to take photos beacuse I dont stop working.

The weathering isnt going to be anything huge as I said, I dont have much armor experiance honestly, only having completed two kits, and attempted many (that halftrack hit the stopping Point when the width marker antiena things broke off for the 20th time and I just got POed at it)

I also need to get to the hardware store for more superglue so I can reattach the chain to the brace it came off and im out of glue.

Hey- did your commission L4D build get in the way of the finish of this one? (Im assuming your not still waiting on superglue Tongue [:P]) It's looking good- Ive got an older DML kit in 1/35

Good luck on the weathering, hope you get it finished Thumbs Up [tup]

I would except that I dont have any other kits in that scale. 

 

Most of the kit is fine but it broke all kinds of small fiddley bits and what not.  Left holes and gaps on the hull where they broke off and all the paint was custom and I haven't felt like completely fixing and repainting the thing.
