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

[wouter]

really mate, looking at this realizes I really missed your armor builds. I totally love that weathering style...looks awesome!

Cheers

[`Boots`]

Bill.............thanks fella, yeah should look ok when all tied in together

Deano..........cheers buddy, i`ve got big shoes to fill when i see the work you armour experts turn out, i`m givin` it a go anyway

Andy.....ta mucka

Phil.....thank you as well my friend

Joe......thanks buddy for the kind words, it goes a long way in boosting the `ol confidence level when ya hear things like that

Wouts......mucho appreciated me `ol Belgian buddy, you`ll be seeing a bit more armour for a while.........then i`ll do some more shiny stuff

OK fellas......another brief U/D..took these pics in the lounge coz i got a nice big window which lets natural daylight rather than the smaller one in me study!!

The turret has now been bought up to the same stage as the rest of the build..........now i can fiddle about with some fine tuning, also going to go with a bit of stowage.......i`ll go with the Red Oxide fuel cans here and there to break up the monotony of the same colour plus the tools and some camo netting/tarps etc...














Cheers fellas......

"Boots be like...I'll show you how to weather a tank"...LOL!! This is sick Mark! I get lost for a few days between a show and feeling s**ty and you rip out this masterful little gem!! Out-fraking-standing brotha'!! Brilliant stokes of genius in the weathering and the stages there of!! Forget about any of that "time" crap, no one cares...your time bro!! And spent rather nicely from what I see!!! Waiting on the crescendo now my friend!!!

[robbo]

This is turning into a real winner Mark, some lovely colours in this paint job

[Leon]

Outstanding job Boots,your mudification and weathering look A+ MUCKA.

[`Boots`]

Thanks so much for all the kind words once again fellas..........really means a lot too know i`m going in the right direction after such a long time away from armour building shiny stuff

`T`......if ya hadn`t help me out with some great advice in the very beginning i`d still be staring at a ferkin` Grey one ((LOL)), thanks for the kind words bud and hopefully the crescendo is just around the corner

[bbd468]

Hey Brother Boots, your Pz. is comin along splendid! Crackin job my friend.

[`Boots`]

Thanks brother Gary

Sorry fellas..........lazy evening pushing some extra stowage around, the guy who owns my cab has gone away for the week so i thought i`d stick it out for a bit this evening..............i`m knackered now and can`t get into full swing tonight!!

Anyway.......a few bits `n` bobs which i think look ok.........need to get/make some more yet!!. also the weathering stages are coming along, i`m trying not to do it in big hits in case it all goes `Pete Tong`.....gonna introduce a small amount of R/O chipping on the hull and turret.......plus you`ll notice i`ve added an extra piece across where the main gun is and holds the turret armour in place (originally).........the piece i first put in had no rivet detail so i scrounged something a bit better, i`ll be adding a few bits of Red Oxide colour here and there on the ancillary stuff just to break up the Yellowish colour









Roght i`m orfe for a scotch!! , cheers fellas

[`Boots`]

Hic!!...........will do and fanx mucka

[Leon]

Looking good with the stowage Boots.

[Deleted]

Knackered ?!
Well take a break till you gets your witts about you again boots . Otherwisw you might try to glue a chrome bumper on this one ! Hmmmmmm , that might look interestin .

PS , the stowage in lookin fine , 'cept for that red petro can ..... paint 'er the vehicle color if you'd like .

[imatanker]

Well done Fella, have another on Me

[bullardino]

Great job, Boots, the stowage really adds to the overall look

[`Boots`]

Leon....thanks buddy

Carl.....cheers for the honesty fella..........changed it know although the can still needs a filler cap!!

Jeff.........ta mucka, that`ll do very nicely indeed

Lui......cheers fella......gotta put some more on it yet tho

Ok another `doesn`t look like i done much` piccies......but i have been busy beavering about with some pigs and sorting out the armour mounts above the gun mantlet........just general messing about really

Some black pigs were applied in various recesses to give a bit of depth here and there but as always the lighting is washing it out somewhat...

The front armour plate has had some rust streaks and another dark wash.....



Close up of the turret which has a little bit more to be done on it yet(i keep saying that!!)





Need to start ordering some bits now

Cheer chaps

[Leon]

Just keeps getting better and better Boots.

[wbill76]

Coming along nicely Boots. It's really tying together into a coherent finish.

[ceresvesta.]
