Tamiya StuG III B Experiment Coming Together

Many thanks, my friends! I took Wednesday and Friday off, the first long Thanksgiving weekend I've had in ten years, so I tried to make the most of the time. Let me tell you, figuring out how to weather this grey and white scheme has been challenging. I pulled out all the articles and photos I could find, watched my Mig DVD a couple times and I still don't think I got it exactly where I wanted to go. I've taken some photos to post up, I always see something else that needs attention on the big screen. Here's where I am today.

Through all of this, I've made many interesting discoveries, used products I hadn't tried and really stretched myself. This is an experiment, right? Guess I'm back to the bench to finish her off? Thanks for coming by and all the comments!

First, I enjoy the little touches that you add that others may overlook. Leaves, punched out of actual leaves.
:coolio
I believe the amount of schmutz you apply could not be overdone, the way the Ostketten would toss debris EVERYWHERE as you hurry to support the next frozen Wehrmacht unit in contact. I feel sorry for any K-wagen you pass!
:soldier
The lack of dirt on the traveled part of the road wheel, where it wouldn't stick during travel anyway.
:ro:
Yep! Decide how old the exhaust needs to look.
:zen
Will this crew have picked up/stolen/liberated any extra equipment?
I like it immensely!

Thanks, Bob, Rhino, Luiz and Tony! Unca Tony is partly to blame for this experiment, I wouldn't have tried it without his sorcery. :mpup

More to come, I'm making a list of things to fix and add. :frantic

Thanks for coming by!

Your experiment is turning out quite well. I really like the way your whitewash turned out.

Great work!

Thanks, Terry! It took some fortitude to slop white all over a perfectly good paint job, but I've been wanting to try it for years. Snow will be the next hurdle, but that's for another build.
 
Tamiya StuG III B Experiment Coming Together

Well,I like it big time! (y)

Gotta find me a 'robber bwos' somewhere. ;)
