IV is looking fantastic Deano!! As for the hedgerow...not sure...especially in this scale but I would figure find something to make the basic straight-lined shape (somewhat) and maybe look to the "spice rack" for some help?? Mashed parsley??

Otherwise you can check out railroad modeling stuff, they surely have hedgerows that suit your needs...

I prefer dried oregano, it has the leaf shape. But I think it works better in 1/35 than in 1/72

Thanks Carl, Dicky really appreciate that buddy Small update now on the Panzer , applied Mig Pigments to tracks, running gear and schurzen . I trying to go for a dusty dirty look as if it was once in mud but has dried out , almost a summer dust dirty look if ya know what I mean lol     Nearly finished with the panzer now .... some dark drybrusing and more pigments should polish it off .

Nice base and PzIV Deano, looks very good. You're like a 1/72 factory...just crazy. And impressive. I've tried building a 1/72 Hummel and it sucked big time!
Keep it comin'

Thanks Wouts , appreciate that mate . I think the scale just suits me at the moment and has reignited my mojo as I was getting quite stale in 1/35 . Dont have many 1/35 kits left in the stash , panzer III and a couple of Tigers .

well, one advantage 1/72 or 1/48 has for sure is that you don't need as much space Cheers |

Ja very true , I have much more space in the display cabinet for the small scallers Deano |
