Sancho Panzer Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi All, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself by posting my first WW2 armour project in a very long time - a 1/35 Hetzer. This is the Academy 'Late Version' Hetzer and was built out-of-the-box apart from a metal barrel and a brass PE periscope guard. The first image shows the first few stages of painting, whilst the rest show the completion of the 'Ambush Pattern' camouflage and weathering. I made a few mistakes along the way such as the order in which I masked and painted the camo, and the masks pulling off the paint as they were removed which I had to go back and repaint. This was a learning experience for me....... I am placing it on a FoG plaster street section with a WSS commander figure. Weathered with wash, oils, filter and pigments Alpine Miniatures figure painted in 1944 'dot-peas' WSS camo overalls Thanks for looking - more pics to follow of the finished project soon, Andrew 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panzer Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thanks @Hewy- this is the first Alpine figure I've painted and it was a really nice figure, excellent detail and a great pose. I expect I'll be buying few more Alpine figures in future, Cheers, Andrew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewing9593 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Although the figure is superb. For me, the rust to the armour was stand out! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @ewing9593, thanks! Yes I was really happy with the way the rust turned out, and I think I’ll do more of this on a future build. Maybe a post war decaying wreck or something similar. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Klugman Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The camo and the way you have done the rust is amazing. We need a step by step guide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
