f matthews Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 I reapplied some filters today and did some panel accents. Some of the final filters are not completely dried in these pics. Tires then tracks and some small detail painting to go... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 OK-I’ll stop with the incremental progress shots after this ..! Spare tracks finished and mounted. Wheels removed to add some dirt. I’ll add dirt/mud/dust to the wheels and tracks when I install the tank on its base. I have since finished all little touch-ups and other than the tracks (which are painted), this one is complete and ready for its display base. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo1966 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Really nice build. Looking forward to seeing it finished and on the base. Are you doing any figures? George 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you doing any figures? George Not on this one. I can never properly gauge how long figures will take me to complete so I usually avoid them when I have deadlines, although they usually don’t take too long for one or two.

f matthews Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) OK-the tank is finished. I still need to add some groundwork to the base then weather/dirty up the wheels and tracks. I’d almost forgotten to add the spare wheel secured by the tow cable that 2d Pz. Div. used in conjunction with the large stowage box on the rear hull.

PlaStix Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wow!! That's really looking awesome! I am very impressed by the weathering on the sides of the lower hull. Fantastic use of texture and colour. This is already a beautiful looking Panzer III! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t built much German stuff in many years and no Pz III/IVs since the early-mid 1990s, so this was fun. I wanted to do some of the more flashy markings and this just about takes the cake for German stuff in WW2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Base is finished and project pretty much complete. I still have some touch-ups here and there and will take better shots in the next few days and post them to the Gallery. Found a few things that I needed to fix in the above photos. More work than I thought (I keep seeing things in photos that bug me). It is now complete as much as it shall be. Better pics when the weather is good enough for more.

Ozzy Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Fantastic finish f Matthews, very nice build indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 That's really nice. I like how you've got the suspension to look like it's articulated even though it's actually level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Good afternoon. WOW! That really is a stunning model! Fantastic modelling all round and the base sets it off beautifully!! Very well done. Thank you for taking part in this STGB. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 I posted in the Gallery, but never posted a finished pic in this thread to “close it out”. More shots in the GB Gallery-thanks for watching this space, this was a fun first group build experience! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
