Tamiya 1/35 Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär

[Hackovsky]

Hello lads, I am tryng to finish all my partly done projects and when posting on forum, it pushes me This kit I bought in my shop for bargain price. Also Eduard zimmerit was included. My concern now is, how to proceed now. Should I seal the surface with some gloss varnish, put decals and another sealing. After all that weathering(wash, drybrush, pigments etc.)

Nice ! -Look very good at this moment - after painting . Well done !

nice build and nice camo

[HWGuderian23]

Fantastic paintwork ! The camo scheme looks awesome !

If your wondering about whether to gloss before weathering then I would. It will help protect the paint work from the weathering, and allows you to fix mistakes easier.

Looking nice though, neat camo work!

Definetely gloss before the decalling.. at least in this case as the zimmerit may well cause trouble for the decals, being a bit uneven.. That, Sir, is a beauty of a tank.. or whatever the Brummbar was..

[Coen]

It's the standard to gloss either the entire subject or just were the decals go after the base paints and camo are on. Then you seal them in with another coat or two after the decals are on and dry. Use as many coats as are needed to hide the edges of the decal. You don't want then to pick up paint or to get any air bubbles under them (silvering).

You base coats look fantastic by the way. That zimmerit looks wonderful.

Wonderbar I love live camo to it looks more natural.

Looks great I got the same set up with Tamiya and the zimmerit! Also I have no idea about your question but your model looks great.

Nice job mate.
Really drawn to the Brumbar.
I fancy it maybe a next build, or at least after whatever I next build, which could be the Dragon Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf A, or....
Yup, varnish, then Decals, then weathering, then a final coat of varnish (could be Matt or Semi , depends on your tastes).
Brilliant job.
