Pz III (tp).......a quick fix!!!

[Deleted]

Some good lookin weatherin there Boots!

[`Boots`]

Whoooop.....thanks very much once again guys , i must be going somewhere in the right direction then!!

Anyway....yeah, yeah i know when are we gonna see it ferkin` finished , all this weathering takes a confused `ol ferker like me much longer than an adept armour mucka.

Right another stage, the upper deck now in it`s pre mucking up stage, this had a dark wash thinnly applied and then the light sand colour weathering over the top.............you can tell the difference by the turret which has only had the was!!, the front armour plate was done as is the cupola....shame i can`t get a piccy of the armoured glass on the open ports!!

The cupola........again it`s just experimental/learning curves and all that!! but i don`t think it looks to bad, another Klear coat will darken it a tad but i think it looks ok as is till the matt coat goes on



The front armour plate.........i`m quite happy with this i gotta say!!





Some random shots...you can see the turret colour compared the the other!







Thanks for being patient fellas but ya know what you let yaselves in for when ya follow one of my blogs .....

Well worth the wait Boots! Don't rush it, it's building up nicely.

[`Boots`]

Thanks Bill..... , i don`t think the word `RUSH` fits anywhere in my vocabulary fella , you`ve only gotta see the length of time i`ve spent on some of my other threads that i`ve done , far too much `thinkin` and `drinkin` before i actually do anything ....mind you...at least i get me monies worth out of a kit

[`Boots`]

Most kind of ya too say so fella , i think once i get the hang of it things should move a little quicker on the next one ..........NAH!!....not a ferkin` chance of that happening , when have i ever done `QUICK`!!!!, 2 builds a year is taxing enough for me , cheer very muchly mucka

Panzer looking ace mate, really liking it.
I find the more experience i'm getting, the slower and more cautious i'm getting too dude. Just makes for a better all round job i think.

Hey Boots I agree with the comments from our friends above .
Your weathering looks pretty dang good to me . Like Nems said it would put a shame ,chuff, on some long time armor builders right now .

[beast]

Lol, the king tiger took me over 9 months dude, the T34 won't take me as long, lessons learned. The guy from AFV mag took three and a half years to do the KT but he went into microscopic hyper detail mode and finished up with something incredible to be honest.

[`Boots`]

Thanks very much Carl.......i was happy with this and then i went over and looked at your Sturm!!!

((LOL)).........i`m just a naturally slow builder buddy, this is probably one of the quickest i`ve done so far.......i dunno....Dicky seems to be able to build a chassis and bodywork in the time it takes me to weather that turret ..........3 and a half years `eh....that must have been some ferkin` project!!!, i reckon i`d have got fed up after a year ...........just clocked your 34 btw....freakin` awesome bud

I couldnt agree more! Looks damn fine to me Boots and i look forward to much much more!

[imatanker]

Ah, um, yeah. What all those other Guys said  Sorry, couldn't think of anything. My superlative arsenal is a little drained at the moment. 

[bullardino]

Hmmm, that's a truly worn out tank. And it's masterfully done, Boots. I truly love the cupola, it looks right in my eyes.

[`Boots`]

Thank you soooo much guys...............

Sorry but i`ve been a bit lazy on this for a couple of evenings...........i have made a start on the main body weathering but i`ll wait a tad longer before i stick a fresh piccy or two up , i`ll stick a few decs on this evening (i know i should have done that earlier!!).........i`m only at the early weathering stage on the top deck so if i add them now it won`t be a problem,

Thanks again fellas

[`Boots`]

Ok.....a few more of the next stage, upper body started..

The finished cupola...



Washes applied and some slight scuffin`on the back deck......gotta a bit more work to do here yet!!

Every update is a treat to see what will change next. The turret's going to look nice if that cupola's any indication.
