Hetzer (Finished, on base).

[deafpanzer]

It gives me chills every time I look at it... and I am not joking! Beautiful work!

[TRM]

A little mapping in order G?!! Still amazing WW happening!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[hasenpfeffer]

Yeah, that looks totally sweet. Love the washed off look, smears and scrapes. Top notch.

[armorguy]

Thanks Steve, it's a whitewash followed by a white wash exactly.

Hey Dicky, no problem mate, the site is growing so fast I think it's just impossible to keep jumping in everywhere ! And there's so much of great quality to see...
This is how I worked :
1, camo applied (not sealed with Clear *Clear was mixed in the camo colors),
2, hairspray applied,
3, flat white acrylic paint sprayed on,
4, chipped, scratched,
5, thinned white enamel wash applied (thinned with white spirit)
...
Dicky, I'll never blame you or other members for not visiting my thread on a regular base, I know how difficult it is to follow each build log. I also jumped in your Hum and Hummer thread only recently, after a long time...and it's magnificent !

Thanks Bill, I think I can do some more today.

Andy, thanks mate, please tell me if the chilly feelings start to fade...

T, thank you fella, I do the best I can.

Dave, thanks, these words give me courage to battle on !

[deafpanzer]

Nope, still feeling the chill... just send me some good strong booze to keep me warm. Had to look at your little Hetzer again... sorry!

[bullardino]

Great ww, Guy

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

I like that.

I think there's an echo in here.

Oh baby, this getting to be like those sights my wife gets pissed I look at.

[armorguy]

Thanks friends, the first dirty wash was applied (oil paint raw umber). I've brushed the wash over the entire hull and after 20 minutes I've created some soft vertical streakings by a small brush dipped in white spirits. This is only a primary streaking job. Also a first soft pinwash was added to the small parts and the running gear got its first dirty wash on too.

The fun has begun !

Dirty Hetzy :



Best regards ! AG.

[wouter]

defo lookin' good Guy, the whitewash looks great, especially with the enamel enhancing stuff! Dirty starts to show subtle as well...oh yeah

Cheers

[Deleted]

whitewash looks fab

[bullardino]

I love the appearance, right now it has already a great look. And it will surely get better as you go on adding layers

[Deleted]

Looking awesome buddy   I especially like the lager areas of WW 

[ceresvesta.]

Brilliant ww AG! I would love to see a sbs of the technique you used...One of the best result i`ve seen.
Keep this up.

Phil.

[Hinksy]

Looking good - I love a nice Hetzer build!

I'll be building a Dragon Pz. IV soon (Ausf. G, Kharkov) and will be doing a pretty much full whitewash on that so I'll be following this closely.

I've tried Hairspray once and it worked well but I have recently bought some AK Chipping solution and work Effects to do the job of hairspray this time. I'll see how it goes!

Looking good - keep the photos coming!

[Leon]

Awesome work AG.Very nice.

[danb.]

Great work on the Hetzer buddy its really shaping up to becoming a stunning build

[armorguy]

smoke wagon, thanks !

Wout, the enamel white works great my mate !

Pete, thanks dude !

Mark, I have a clear picture in my mind and until now it goes the right way, hope it keeps going in the right direction eh !

Luigi, there's more to come !

Steve, I went for a couple of areas with firm white layers, I'm glad you like it !

Ceresvesta, I didn't do something else but following the general 'rules' of the whitewash method, I added several firm layers of hairspray, followed by three layers of Tamiya matt white, thinned with water (better removal of the white later on). I waited for about an hour to peel, rub and scratch. Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate that mate !

Hinksy, I keep'm coming ! Panzer IV...I'll be hooked !

Leon, thanks !

Dan, thanks mate, until now I'm satisfied with the appearance !

Dicky, thanks, there's more done...

Pic time :










I've combined rust washes first, followed by dabbing in light and darker rust pigments, it works well and the pigments get sealed instantly.

Have a nice weekend friends of MSCF ! AG.

[wouter]

now very cool Guy...seems we working on some rust on the same day

I love the exhaust especially, man that's impressive!

Cheers

[noname]

This looks great. The exhaust is very convincing.

[ceresvesta.]

Thanks for the sbs AG, no one gave me an explaination that clear of the hs tech ...Why? I don`t know. Now I really want to try it.
Also, Thanks for sharing this with us, it is a true marvel. Keep this up. Hmmm got the eduard hetzer in the stash...


Phil

[bullardino]

The exhaust looks gorgeous. The rest too.

[armorguy]

Thanks guys, there's still so much to do and I'm enjoying every second of it ! This won't be my last Hetzer.

[TRM]

G....this is amazing!!! Detail weathering is paying off!!! This is one tasty Hetzer!!

You can't imagine how happy I am with your responses guys. Later on today I will finish the (one piece) jack of the kit. It's a one piece jack indeed, so there's nothing to do but give it a good paint slapping and glue it on !

The real stuff showing the details :



See you lators alligators ! AG.
