Sebastian MeynerWelcome! The kit is really quiet amazing: what you see in the pictures is about 4 hours of work only. 🙂

Günther DecockDag Sebastian, ga let plezier uw project volgen. Ben zelf een grote fan van Duitse tanks.

Sebastian MeynerRunning gear and tracks are on now. I'll do a little weathering on them and then off to the figures and some other bits and bobs...

Sebastian Meyner@Olivier: from what I could gather it's some sort of dimmed down rear light. My sources suggest it a black light (?!) hence the blue. But I have to admit, it is a bit bright indeed.
@Günther: Baie dankie! 🙂

Sebastian MeynerThanks Neuling, but still way too clean 😉 This is about to change :-D

James CTidy looking build and great job on the camouflage pattern. The track sags look very natural as well. 👍

Sebastian MeynerThanks Jim 👍 I hope I rectified the "tidyness" a bit 😉
I call this one done!

Sebastian MeynerWell towards the end of the war, guns were sometimes build into the vehicles without over painting them in camoflage (especially replacement guns)...so the stayed the way they came from the manufacturer which is supposed to be a dark grey tone. Tamiya's "German grey" was good enough for me 😉

James CVery nicely done Sebastian. The dirt and dust layers around the running gear looks spot on. The assorted tarps and stowage items are really nice additions as well as the foliage on the front. And to top it off, very nicely painted crew as well. Awesome! 👍
Regarding the barrel, it's an interesting visual feature, and would look equally authentic being left in just red oxide primer... having come straight from the factory. I like it 👍

Sebastian MeynerThanks Jim 👍 I'm blushing 😉 Well, you know how it is....sometimes a build falls together, paint flows nicely....but most of the times it doesn't work out 100% 😉 I guess I was lucky this time.
In regards to the gun barrel. As far as I know most if not all german guns were primed not in red oxyd but in darkish grey tone. so a new un-painted gun (or replacement) would somewhat stick out a little or look a little out of place.

Rui SI agree with Spanjaard. I Really like all stuf and personal gear in the back 👍

Sebastian MeynerThanks Rui S! The 'stuff' in the back is only two lumps of resin from Darius Miniatures. Very nicely detailed, basically a drop fit for the Tamiya kit. The perfect AM set for modellers like me (=lazy 🙂 ) Just a little paint, stick to the model and be done with it 😉

Rui SBut I was also speaking about the personal gear on the spare traks? Photo 9?
7 August 2020, 11:18
Sebastian MeynerI know! 😉 The run off spare track links incl. all the personal gear (AND the bucket) is one piece of resin, a more or less solid cast.

PepeI never understood why the first two rollers were different ... A good paint job ... I have never liked those works that Velasquez paints and puts them in the clay Picasso

Sebastian MeynerAfter the L70 was installed it became apparent that the vehicle had become extremely top heavy. To minimise wear and tear on the front road wheels, the standard rubber lined ones were exchanged for a full stell version....thats why 😉
...and thank you mate 👍

PepeWell that's the issue ... If the rubber ran out ... Why not all the steel rollers ??? .... I still don't understand those two rollers !!!!! 🤔🤔

Rui SSegún explicó Sebastian o exceso de peso del cañón se concentró en el frente y el frente es el primero en chocar con los obstáculos del terreno por lo que cambiaron.
