Death on a small scale
« on: April 19, 2014, 10:54:17 AM »
I managed to find some strength and painted this last night, mostly with washes. It is a Heroics and Ross Panzer IVD hull mated to a later model turret, with schurzen made from plasticcard. I copied the wreck from online photographs, as I do all the time.

For my Battlegroup forces this will be a casualty marker or a objective marker, whatever is needed more and, more importantly, looks better.

1 euro cent shown for size.

I might need to add another coat of matte, I don't think this one was mixed properly.

Nice to see you at it again, Johan! I hope you enjoyed making it.
Nice piece of kit. It never stops amazing me how you can cram so much life and character into such tiny things.

(I've got a 1:144 Panzer II and III model kit lying about somewhere if you ever fancy having a go at something bigger.  ;D)
