Yes! Just right.
Looking absolutely sweet Gary. Sometimes chipping is so overdone on German tank models. If the crew had let their Panzer get to such a sorry state they most likely would have been shot!
A small hint: you should tint the handles of the wire cutter in red brown. These were not made from wood, but bakelit (some sort of ancient plastic).
Cheers,
Tobi

I do have a process i use to simulate the bakelite handles. I use Panzer Aces 'Old Wood' as base coat for all my wood and wire cutter handles for further painting, washes and the like. Cheers Tobi, Gary  |

Nice dusty work there on the lower hull and suspension Gary, definitely making the most of your 'bonus' bench time on this one. |

What's taking away your bench time man? You runnin for office or somethin? Tony lee Hey Tony, Me and my sister are prepping to move to Dallas and getting ready for a garage sale to get rid of alot of our stuff. Our new place is much smaller so it wont all fit.  We have had to do all this AND try and keep a reasonable appearance of the house, in and out, as the realtors have started showing the house. SOOOOOOO..... Not getting the bench and MSC time that im used to getting.  As far as running for Office......I have alot of things i wanna say, but its best kept to myself!  Why thank brother Pete! Im doin a more dusty look than im used to doin. Hope i dont go too far!  Hey Phil, my brother, Thanks man! You bet ive started boxing things up. About the only thing thats not boxed in my room is all my modeling stuff and my clothes and bathroom goods. Soon as they have the floors finished in the new place, we can start moving non essential goods and some small furniture. We cant fully move till the house is rented as were still under contract till new renters sign on, then.....WERE OUTTA HERE!!!  Ok Gentlemen, I stayed up last night and got some bench time. Ive done more work with the AK products, glued on the Spare tracks, Muffler and i glued on the wheels.     More later fellers! Gary |

It's a happening thing Bro. That's always one thing I forget to do is weather the hull before I put the wheels and tracks on |

Filter, Wash and streaking, plus DAK vehicle weathering, Nato Rain marks, Dust effects, Rust and Grime streaking all on this Pz.....Very versatile! Cheers fellas, Gary |

You put NATO rain marks on a Pz.IV and it didn't blow up? They are truly great products then |

They are truly great products then Jeff, i was a bit timid and nervous at first about an explosive reaction, but i figured if i gotta go, this is tha way i want! Well, also cause i dont have a beautiful Brunnete beach beauty.....kinda want one of them fer my last moments, but modeling is a close second. |
