Your painting and weathering skills have grown immensely!

Thanks. The weathering here is the same technique I’ve been using for some time now. One thing I did do differently is use Silly Putty for masking for the camouflage. Basically I pained the whole exterior Dark Green then rolled up small pieces of Silly putty and placed it where you still see green before painting the exterior the standard Dark Yellow common to Wehrmacht vehicles from 1943 on.

Very nice as usual. The barber pole aiming stakes on the back are a nice touch.

How do you feel about miniatures crewing your vehicles? I just finished a Tamiya Flakvierling half track and it's got five figures and it's probably my weakest skill.

You know what would have been a cool Wunderwaffe?

A giant artillery piece, like the rail mounted one, but mounted on a platform. Connected to three tanks, but with a swivel connected to the platform instead of a gun.

Thanks. It’s funny to me that our artillery units were still using aiming stakes exactly like this during my time.

Good work! I do add the crew sometimes. But it’s a pain in the arse so I usually skip them.

Awesome technique! Great results!

Who downvotes something like this!?

Your wear and tear detail is amazing.

Your usual great work. I really enjoy looking at these. I bet all of them together are awesome!

Thanks. I can’t fit them all in one pic, but here’s its new neighborhood…
