WWII Germans reboot (3)
While waiting for the wash to dry on some of the Tirailleurs I decided to try and get the Panzer II that has been languishing getting dusty in the backlog with a coat of Panzer Grey. I think the kit is from Chieftain Models.
The tracks and exhaust were painted with a mix of Gunmetal Grey and Saddle Brown then the whole lot was washed with Army Painter Dark Tone
Once dry the base colours were re-applied and a couple of highlights added then the decals applied.
Once the decals had set I gave it a light going over with some Tamiya weathering powders.
No shots from the right hand side, I really messed up the decals on that side and some stowage will be applied at a later date to try and mask the mess that I made!

ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThis is a nice looking model!
ReplyDeleteCheers Jonathan
DeleteGood looking, brrm...brrm.
ReplyDeleteNice looking little Panzer, Scrivs. Did you use an airbrush for the base coat?
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean, apart from a base-coat of Rustoleum grey primer it's all brush work. I had a bad airbrush experience about 20 years ago, I know all the cool kids are using them these days though ;)
DeleteLol! I'm definitely not a cool kid - thanks for the info - I'm planning on using a brush over a rattle can basecoat too.
DeleteThank you Phil
ReplyDeleteNicely done Paul...
ReplyDeleteI do like the somber and somewhat threatening look of the early war German tanks...
All the best. Aly
