Hey Ben your finish looks great!  I think just enough chipping to give the effect without over doing and the light dust coat has been applied nicely   I really like how this one came out, NICE job

Nice looking Pz II.  But if it's only the 16th... How do you know it's done?

An informative blog and a build to be proud of,nice work Ben

Glad to be of assistance Ben! Nice work on the Pz II and can definitely see an evolution in your finishing style, keep it up!

Nice dusty finish on the Pz II. Sharp build.

Cheers guys,

I'll be starting work on the Tiger I for 'Steel Cats' now Tigerman. I'll be going the other way with that one and will be keeping weathering light. I'll be concentrating on a serious quality build with that kit and plan to try some new methods along the way too.

Ben :-)

Excelent work

Cheers guys,

You are too generous!

Admittedly I am rather proud of her though!

Now I've got this Tiger to start on - I'm thinking of which way I can take that in terms of 'looks'? So, it's Normandy and it's '44. I'm assuming my Tiger is not exactly going to be production line clean and more than a little battle damaged?

Any ideas for a good looking Normandy Tiger I lads?

Thanks again for the great feedback everyone - it's made my day seeing Steve's post! LOL!

Ben

That is an awesome build and finish.

Ben, went back and looked the whole WIP over start to finish, super sharp work there! Nice build and the dust looks really good!

Looking forward to the Tiger! Funny how panzers went from this little guy to an armoured behemoth like the TIger in less than five years.

SWEET WORK Ben is there a dio in that tiny tanks future?? again very cool build.

Clay

Cheers Clay!

I really haven't got the room for building proper dios (nor the skill as yet as my figure painting needs major improvement BUT I do intend to start making some bases. I made a picture frame/plaster base for a 1/48 German Halftrack I built that looked pretty cool and I'd like to do a few more.

The whole diorama thing doesn't really appeal to me. The guys who are good at them make them look AMAZING but I'm happy with a good build build - I'm even happier with a good base to go with it. I'm about to start work on a Normandy Tiger I for Tigerman's Steel Cats GB and might well do one for that Tiger?

Again, thanks buddy,

Ben

Very nice, a cool build. Like it a lot...cheers....Kenny
