    Panzer III Ausf J

    Inspired by FooFighter

    Here's a few shots of my Work-in-progress Panzer III Ausf J (about 70% completed) - done the black panels shadow wash, just the balance of PE Balkan Crosses/Unit markings to be painted, rust/paint chips simulation, barrel rifling, metallic edging, final touch up and she's done.

    How is it going sir?

    I would have used a file to sand of some rubber off the wheels to simulate wear and tear.

    Aye where are the unit markings? Must put so that it adds some contrast to the overall paint-job.

    Some of the lines too broad imho, should use a clean brush with some thinner to stump it.. but not sure if you clear-coat the tank before applying pin wash?

    For chipping, remember "less is more"

    I did something similar afew years back.





    Looking back I felt that I had too much fun doing chipping...

                @FF; Totally agree, it quite fun building it alone but building together with great buddies takes it to a different level. Maybe we could try a group build next time, different versions of the same model.

                @RM; Yup, join us lah ! let's make it a threesume !

                  The model was built with the intention of posing with the commander riding proudly in the cupula and panzergrenadiers hitching a ride.

                  Please pardon as I deviate from the Panzer III temporary as I detail my 1/35 figures painting style. I will not describe the hacking, assembly and posing of the figures as that's quite easy to do (just watch out that the poses are natural) and will fit in where they are suppose to be.

                  I've 2 methods for figure painting, one is a tedious and a painstaking process, I will use the easier and faster method here.
                  It's kind of like post-shading with a hand brush

                  1st step: Spray everything matt black then let it cure for a week.


                  Paint is dry, while waiting for it to cure, here's a few pose on the vehicle.








                  Please pardon the shallow depth of field as these photos were shot with a PnS camera which does not have any aperture controls out of laziness .

                              LOL ! ...last time I took part in a Tamiya Plamo contest was back in 1974 !
                              Tamiya was under Howah Int Pte Ltd (I think)

                              Yes, I believe they still organises these Tamiya Plamo contests but I've retired from competitive model making.
