Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D and crew vignette - 1/35 Dragon/Platz

[PlaStix 17,620]

This was my project for the Panzer IV Single Type Group Build. The kit is a much simplified Dragon kit with far fewer parts than their usual offerings but the detail seems pretty good all the same. It was actually a really fun kit to make. The photos below were taken on my Spitfire display base.

 

Kit: 1/35 Dragon/Platz Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D

Paints: Humbrol, Revell, Citadel and Railmatch Acrylic paints all applied by brushes

Figures: MiniArt Special Edition German Tank Crew

Base: 3mm MDF, Wilko picture frame, Household Filler, Vallejo European Mud, Woodlands Scenics Blended and other turfs, Army Painter tufts and grasses

 

WIP: Here

Lots more photos of the Pz.IV and crew: Here

And this is what it looks like on it's Wilko's picture frame base:

Impressive job, Stix!  I think you're no longer a modeller, you definitely turned into an artist    

 

Ciao

Hi Graham and thank you for your kind comments.  As to what they are all looking at - it's a very good question. I'm guessing it's their next objective? Possible suggestions on a post card?

Kind regards,

Stix
