f matthews Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) This is a kit I started almost a decade ago, then lost interest and haven’t touched it in more than five years. I’m working on another Pz II, so I pulled this out of mothballs to see if I could finally finish it. I added some washes to the interior so I can complete that part of the build and close up the hull. Edited August 17, 2022 by f matthews 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This looks very familiar! I was working on one of these when I last gave up modelling. I have never finished an interior kit, yet I still keep buying the damn things! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to scratch-build at least a partial interior in most of my builds-now that companies are including them, I find them a bit of a hinderance since I tend to get exhausted by the time I finish the inside bits!

f matthews Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Applied some filters and added final detail parts: After the filters set up, I applied dust/dirt pigments to the lower hull and running gear. The vehicle is now complete and I will move on to the construction of a display base. It’s only taken eight and a half years to get to this point, but I’m not stopping now until this project is complete! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f matthews Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 Basic base elements together and final details on the tank (including replacing kit mg with a brass one and scratchbuilding a wooden jack block to replace the kit part) completed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Yes, it's impressive! Looks very convincing. The top layer of ground, what is this material? Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vytautas Black air-drying clay. It’s easy to use but hard to get it not to crack while drying. I’ll fill the cracks then add groundwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoxx77 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Nice build. The details are great and the weathering looks really good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
