Tamiya 1/35 Panzer II

Post by T3hGuppy »

Right so didn't want to start something new today and I've had this built for a week or so.

Tried to go for a more war weary finish on this as I normally do quite clean-ish vehicles.

Unfortunately it got dark before I could get any daylight pics will get these done in the morning.

As always comments and criticism welcome.

This is an old kit but worked for what I wanted quick easy build.

Hi Guppy,

It's a funny little panzer but you did great finish and weathering to it!

If I'm allowed to give some feedback - I would drybrush the tracks with some steel like paint to add some effects of running tracks and maybe some dark wash to highlight uneven surface.

Kind regards,
Radek

No worries, I have same problem with them and I always cover them in mud, dust, anything to cover some screwed weathering 8-)

Looking good, nice weathering technique that you have used. I want to do a diorama with one of these as an early war blitzkrieg scenario.

Great work! If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have seen it! Must be due to overheating in battle!

Love the paint job!
