Little update here, the PE parts for the hull skirts are giving me some trouble. I might have to resort to mixing the aber PE and original kit parts there. Otherwise this could turn into a real mojo-killer :/

The turret unfortunately got damaged when my air-duct from the airbrush cabin fell down :/ I have to sideline it for now, but I will likely make a little restoration of the vehicle as a Bergepanzer IV...

EDIT: I managed to save the turret (somewhat) by rebuilding the skirt-holders using the kit plastic, some PE, lots of TLC and prayers to the modelling-gods 🙂 Thus: We are back on track 👍

The figures are from CMK´s 1944 German Tank Crew set. Be advised however, that there were some casting issues on them.

Yep. Glacial pace is also some form of speed😛 I initially wanted to get the basic colors on the Panzer also, but ran out of suitable thinner. Apparently my Home-brew does some weird clumping with AK Real Colors…. at least that was a reason to order some good Levelling Thinner🙂

I used Vallejo ModelAir and Ammo acrylics for those. I am however having some issues with the Ammo paints separating in the model and not behaving the way I want. Oils weren't used here, although I tried to do color transitions with acrylic wet blending and heavily thinned paints. However I am considering to expand my paint storage with more of Vallejos Model Color or AKs third gen paints for brushwork… Anything you guys recommend?

Thank you all for the kind comments... the project dragged a little for various reasons, but it finally seem s to work out quite alright. I just have to place the figures and do some finishing touches for it to be complete 🙂

the whole composition fits perfectly together and i really like the whole dio
I think this is a well thought-out job´mate !!
maybe there would be a few muddy footprints on the horizontal surfaces a good idea

Many thanks for all your tips and guidance. I think the palette of colours and textures you have brought together work very well. I'm really enjoying looking closely at your handiwork 🙂

Thanks for your kind comments 🙂 @Simon: Looking at the pictures I do really see your point... in my intent to not overweather and make the whole paintjob "muddy", working in some footprints or other highly noticeable dirt stains slipped under my radar. But i guess that wouldn´t be th hardest thing ever to add.... thanks for pointing it out 👍

Album info
Building Revells Panzer IV Ausf. H with some ABER photoetch and a RB models barrel. I also did some texture.
The vehicle will find a way onto a vignette or a little diorama later. All of the PE-fiddling will be interesting 🙂
I did an article on my blog regarding the base on the shed: tomsstuffscalemodels..ropean-ww2-shed.html
A gallery article is also there: tomsstuffscalemodels..ignette-gallery.html
