Panzer II Blitzkrieg

[Iron Mike]

Makes me want to build one.

I think everything is making you want to build something! What are you doing on the computer anyways??

 

[Iron Mike]

Stretching.

So everybody else gets a thank you but me? :hmmm

 

[moon puppy]

There, feel better?

 

[Iron Mike]

Attaboy!

Been under the weather a bit lately, didn't get much bench time in over the last week.

Here's today's progress :coolio Another one like this could see this little tike done.

Before all the doodads added.

After...

Using Vallejo German Grey and lighting it up with Buff..

I picked up Vallejo Blue and Grey washes for this, not sure how to make use of them just yet but will try. Figure this is a good test bed for the 8Rad that's coming up from the rear.

Suggestions, comments, Attaboys??

 

[Iron Mike]

ATTABOY!

No, really, that's looking really good. I wish mine was that far along! :drinks

Told ya to shake it one more time and the hull should be finish. Nice little kit, can't find any build issues.

Thanks Ron, found last night that I didn't mix it well enough. Seems the pigments were pretty tightly settled on the bottom. Gave it a good stir and make a huge difference! I'll decal it up tonight and keep working it with some weathering.

So what color dusting should I be looking for if this little fella was running down the roads of France?

It depends on the area in France...this may sound corny I know.
Anything from a bleached tan up to a dark brown,greyish black color might be ok.


Greetings,Ron.

 

[moon puppy]

Oh No, I understand Ron, Since this is suppose to be early in the Battle of France, I would guess coming across Northern and the lowlands.

 

[reconron]

Yep!...the Lowlands and Northern France have both various kind of soil so it remains:

[but a light colored tan dust does look nice on a panzergrey vehicle]
