Ok, I'll bite. Why the barrel off the side, they having a barbie? Nicely weathered though.

Great work with the canvas/raincover. Nice to have something that brakes up the general colour of the vehicle but still have a camoflage.
 

Dont bother looking at the view counter, people are in general a little lazy to coment. I have threads were I have three post after my self with updates without anyone comenting. Things usually starts to move after some days. Not everyone visit this place each day. So dont let it get to you, just keep posting pictures on this site and Im sure that someone will apreciate it.

Well I saw the model now!

Anyway nice model, I suppose it is an old bolt action resin model in 28mm, it is true? (The base is revealing).

Nice work. The camo on the canvas looks cool. Maybe you should have added spme straps to the barrel though. At the moment it looks a bit odd.

I have only just seen it...I like it!

I really like what you have done with the grass around the tracks :)

I really like it, but I'm a little confused.  What is the original color supposed to be?  It looks like it's Panzer Grey, but with a ton of mud on it, but what looks strange then is that the white circle and red cross look painted on the mud.... does that make sense?

Unless I'm wrong about the base color :D

 Really nice weathering!

Well, I like the model and what you've done with it (mainly the details, the camouflage dressing), but I think there's too much weathering going on. I myself am still struggling with the right amount of weathering, but people told me that less is a whole lot more...

Post by: craig2 on 27 October 2014, 06:52:06 PM
The color is not a grey, but a dirty Brown...a dark Dunkelgelb color, wich was painted and repainted.

This vehicule is much weathered cause it will play on a ruined Berlin table in 1945. After 5 years of war, I think it would be like this...  ;)

Thank you all.

Are the barrel and jerycans 1/48th? They look a bit oversized compare to the Sdkfz... :?

Nice work BTW 8)

No, they are old Bolt action accessories (before the Warlord games era...)
