Outstanding work!  Your vehicle construction and painting are top shelf along with your figure painting.  The presentation just is so life-like that I can imagine some P-47s diving down to do a strafing run.  Great job!

As I mentioned earlier, the camo looks great. Did you hand paint the camo or airbrushed? BTW the figures look very nice.

 

Thak you,camo was handpainted

What do you guys think of this small scene,I had these three figures leftover from a Dragon Actung Jabo set,thought they could add a little interest to the scene.

I wish somebody would make a rail car woth the double-axle bogies most often seen for panzer transport.

That 25 tonne PzKfz IV is a lot of weight to put on just the four wheels (6250KG per wheel).

Mind, just a conversion bogie would make me happy.

Yeah, Trumpy did the three-axle schwerer Platformwagon, but, that's more for the pigger Panzers.  And, it's mostly out-of-stock, too.

Well,after finishing the tank,I finally got the railcar car assembled,primed,and ready to paint.It had a lot of detail,unfortunately,a lot was underneath.I still need to assemble the track bed.I am going to put this aside for now and start up a Panther that I'm building for a group build I'm hosting over on MSC 

Thanks for looking

Looks awesome Tojo! The camo came out perfect!!! 

 

I'm going to have to look at one too. I need a knocked-out Panzer IV to go with my T-34s...

Cool Tank, Tony!

Your camo sure sets it off. If I ever build armor again, I know who to bother for camo lessons.

Looks good, the detail looks pretty decent. Is the shurzen quite thick or is it fairly realistictly thin?

 

It's thin,not plastic but metal,update pics soon

Looks good Tojo! You know what the underside detail is there for right???

 

For some judge at a con to pick the darn thing up to see if you detailed it where it would never be seen...... Confused

Just a small update:with the vehicle all but done except for the schurzen plates,I got to work on the flat car,pretty complicated,all the girder work is mind numbing and it really won't be visible underneath but it's progressing.

Very nice!  I've been tempted to give Border Models a try.

 

Thanks everyone,I believe Border is associated with Takom,the sprues are much like their kits.

Very nice work on the camo. I'm looking forward to the tracks and schurzen to be attached. This looks good, so far.
