WIP - Zvezda 1/100 Panzer IVD


A quick one to let you know I'm still alive and fighting the unnamable horrors of studies. Picked up this tiny Panzer for a sort of relief between two exams and now all it lacks is a layer of the quickshade+finish combo to begin full service. The photos are generously provided by my roommate and his cell phone camera, I think they aren't that bad. 2 of 10 actually made it worth posting.

 

This is an early version of the Panzer IV so I went on with the bluish grey camo I found somewhere googling 'panzer IV d camouflage'. Black basecoat, dark grey then drybrushed with two lighter tones and a 'Dark Earth' brown on the tracks and lower sections of the hull. I will post more when it's done.

Other news: I couldn't find the Peasant Army so I bought some Janissaries and that immediately launched a chain of ideas,  maybe it's time for heavy conversion work and making some Hungarians to oppose them.

Here's a welcome to James Brewerton, proud owner of Exiles Wargames Painter. Hope you enjoy your time here.

  1. Looking good - is 1/100 around 15mm scale? And good luck with the studies, I know your pain!

    1. Thank you.
      While the spam filter let through that anon's comment on this post which really was spam, it removed yours. Too funny.
