Sharper every time I look at it. By the way, you may not want to change the gouges on the glacis

Thanks again my friends .
If things work out i'll get this one done in a couple of days . Then i'll swamp this thread with a bunch of pics ...........so be prepared !
Still not happy with my pic taking results . The lighting is giving me probs . I'm trying use some LED lamps and they cause a lot of glare .There doesnt seem to be a white balance on my camera that will comensate . Next session i'm going to try to defuse the light .

[Leon]

Have to agree with the guys Carl,you did an awesome job as always.

[wbill76]

Looking good Carl! On the lighting issue, diffused light is definitely the way to go vs. direct light. Your camera will behave much more consistently if you use diffused lighting.

[TRM]

The JT looks fantastic Carl! You should be very proud of the work you have done on her!! Well Done!!

Leon , Bill , T thanks again guys .
Today i redid somme of the rust effects on the tracks and exhaust .Sometimes i cant tell if i'm improving the look or not . I got the periscopes in and the gurds on , next will be weathering them .
Bill , i'm going to use a coffee filter over the led light to defuse it . No , not used filters . I'll let you know how that works .It looks kinda strange but if it works thats ok .
T , I'm good with how its turned out . Its not exactly what i invisioned to begin with .Its been a good project .

[armorguy]

It looks 1/1 to me Carl, so you did a great job on this beast. I look forward to the final pic series !

If you're feeling in the DIY mood, try this out. digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent

The coffee filters may work...just be careful of heat and the possibility that they could catch fire.

[Deleted]

Thanks guys for lookin in again !
Dicky , wowzers ! That is one hell of a complement and i respectfully appreciate it my friend !!!
Bill , thats a good diy . Thanks . I'll let you be the judge on how the coffee fiters worked out . One note my friend ..the main reson i use these led lamps is there is absolutly no heat radiated from them .

[Deleted]

Ok then . I finished up the Jagd tonight . I thought i had everything on the model where it was supposed to be ....but as usual after taking the pics i see that i left off the T.C.'s hatch . Oh well . Maybe it fell off due to the impact of the shell hits on the glacis .
The lighting worked out real well with the difusion .









Thats all for tonight guys . I have more pics .............tomorrow .

[Tojo72]

great work Carl,fantastic finish,great to follow along with this one.

[deafpanzer]

Had to catch up... absolutely agree with guys here. One of best Dunky job I have seen... you made me like you even more.

[fightnjoe]

carl that ...............cant find the right words for what i want to say. simply incredible. fantastic. they just dont fit.

the overall is impressive. the paint, the weathering, the overall effect, stunning.


thanks for posting this one.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

You misplaced the TC hatch?
Now don't that just yank the rag off the bush?

You'll find it when you least expect it Carl.

She's a killer,job well done

[Leon]

Another awesome build Carl.Congrats

[Deleted]

Hey guys !
I hope you all know how much i appreciate your kind comments . Very flattering and inspirational .
Thank you allfor your help and support .
Tony , "rag off the brush" , now thats a good old won !
Dicky , you got it , the ole "hatch snatch" for sure .
I just got home and i'm pooped .
Maybe more pics later .
I see some pics are out of focus but they look ok before i uupload them to photobucket . It may have something to do with me resizing the pics before i send them to photobucket so i want to try to post more pics without resizing them on my laptop and see how that looks .

Again much appreciated !

[wbill76]

Carl,

Silly me for not catching that you're using LEDs. The coffee filter trick worked perfectly, some beautiful pics there my friend!
