After my Klingon Cruiser build, I decided to make my next knock the rust off project a cheap Tamiya PZII Ausf G I picked up at Hobby Lobby for about 8 bucks (40% discount rocks). This was a straight OOB build I didn't take any WIP pics of this one. Here is the finished model. I hesitate to post this because frankly the quality of the work around here is a bit intimidating. So many of you are phenomenal artisan's that I feel like I'm turning in a finger painting for Van Gogh to review. That being said, I would very much value any constructive comments you have, I want to get better at this and getting feedback from you guys would be both valued and appreciated. This is the first Armor model I've built in over 10 years and it was also my first time to work with pigments and washes on armor. I base coated it in Vallejo Dunkelgelb primer, then topped that with Tamiya Desert Yellow. Added a light dusting of Tamiya buff along the way. Used AK's wash for NATO vehicles and Vallejo pigments to add the weathering.

I'm thinking she looks pretty darn good. I haven't built that old Tammy kit in ages. I especially like the nice dusty look to the model, and the tracks are perfect if you ask me.

Very nice work on the old girl CD! One thing to remember for the future should you ever do a similar vehicle is that the 2.0cm gun barrels weren't painted, they were left in gun metal, since they had to be regularly replaced after so many rounds were fired through them. Doesn't take anything away from what you've accomplished here, definitely one to be proud to show off!

Wouldn't have know it's a 10 year span between armor kits if you had not said so.

Hey CD - Great job on this one. Love the color and the weathering. Very good job on making those rubber band tracks look the part. (Not easy to do, for sure.) My only constructive criticism would be to be more careful on how you handle her... I can see a pretty big fingerprint on the left side of the turret... Now, if you could make those to scale... lol
