1/16 Hetzer

[rondriaan]

Thnx guys.
Yes the brown color brings the Hetzer to life, My first impression was ................hmmmm where will this end :-)
But now I must find a way to put the colors together not a big problem just reading some articles and watching a DVD ore two LOL

Thats a fine Camo job Ron! Very nice indeed.

Thnx guys.

I have placed the decals and hope to seal them tommorow

[rondriaan]

And just a litlle further ;D

Two days works for the panel lines and washes, could better a 1/35 Hetzer LOL
Sofar everything is done with oil paints









I`m now thinking on aplying one ore two verry thin washes/filter of a sand color to lighten up the colors a litlle, any suggestions?

[wbill76]

Filters did the trick just right Ron, very nice work blending the camo pattern together! Applying a thin wash or filter would create a faded/dusty look to it, all depends on where you want to go with it I guess!

[wouter]

allready saw it over at ModelBrouwers but didn't respond yet. I'm with Bill, Ron. Those filters sure did their work. Camo looks very neat and love those colors. Lovely!

Cheers

Awesome it is for sure ! Terrific work Ron !

[rondriaan]

Thnx guys glad you like it

[rondriaan]

Most off the chipping is done for now and man what a work on such big model ;D

Next steps, some filters I think, mud, grease, dust some rust still a long way to go

[bbd468]

Excellent work Ron! Really a fine piece of work you have there. Well done!

Gary

[wbill76]

Super work there Ron, definitely shows off the advantage of working in the larger scale.

[armorguy]

Just perfect Ron, not too many paint chippings, this is realistic.

[rondriaan]

I`m litle further with the Hetzer.
I have applied some dirt streaks, rainmarks en diverend mixes of pastels for simulating mud.
Stil a lot to do on this puppy but the end is near :-)

[armorguy]

I like the subtle streakings Ron, the wheels also look good, not too much mud ! Your ambush camo really looks the part !

[deafpanzer]

Looking GREAT!! Nice job on streaks and mud platters too!

[wbill76]

Now that's really coming together Ron! Large-scale vehicles are harder to weather IMHO vs. 1/35 simply because, well, they are bigger! Yours looks the part in every way.

Ron - Fantastic work mate.

For now I called the Hetzer done.
Its was fun to paint this model and I learn a few things what to do and what not for the next model a Ferdinant in 1/16 scale but first finnish some other models :-)

[deafpanzer]

Beautiful!!! And huge!!! Dig the blue rag hanging out of the tool box! It was fun following this build and I look forward to see more...

[wbill76]

Very nice job all around on this one Ron, I'm with Andy on the rag, that's a cool detail touch!
