Dragon Panzer IV

[NorthernSwede]

Well after browsing and this forum and spoken in some topics I thought I should show what i´m building atm. Since i´m returning to the hobby this is the only kit I have so far.

I considered this kit as a training ground for me to try out all the stuff i´ve read about on this forum.

This kit is my first time airbrushing anything, first time building a tank, first time a dragon kit and will be first time weathering and stuff.

There is still decals to be done, detail painting and weathering aint done either so it´s far from complete but thought I post the results so far.





I´ve been having great fun so far so thnx everyone on this forum and the youtube channels , been a great help.

More progress pictures will come.

[Coen]

Whoa... now that looks really cool.

Nice paint job! Welcome back to the hobby!
I too am back to this great hobby after many years.

If you like any tips or tutorials on weathering, I can highly recommend the video's of Hamilkar Barkas.

Love the camo patterns and the colors are spot on. Great JOB!!

[wappynutter]

Very nice indeed my friend... Fantastic camo and colour scheme.
What did you use to mask between the colours?
.... it looks too clean to be free-hand surely?...and is it the 1:35 scale kit?
Well done Sir, I will be dropping by to watch you finish this fantastic build off.
got my popcorn ready for the next instalment.

[NorthernSwede]

Thank you all for the comments.

I used Patafix or blue tac its called also from what I understand, but it´s the white kind.

And yes its the 1:35 scale model.

WoT GB build is almost done so will finish this after that.

[AchtungPanzer]

I see and I think >> Your Model is in half work ? >>> Now time for washing, weathering etc - just do it !

[NorthernSwede]

So I got some time over during the weekend and got some work done on the Leopard i´m doing but also I completed this, atleast I think i´m done with it.

So only the second time weathering something at all but i´m not that dissapointed but of course there´s always room for improvement but here it is.

I made it very dusty cause I think it suited the camo.

[Coen]

Oh wow Stefan... that's your first time weathering? That' is really well done buddy.
You've been paying attention!!!

Sheesh... I wish mine what that good when I first tried weathering.
Mine looked more like a seagull with diarrhea crapped on my tank.

[NorthernSwede]

Haha thanks Coen.

Your videos and other members videos have helped alot , of course this forum also

On to the next build and more lessons.

[Paul]

Brilliant job Stefan, well done on the weathering

[Rob]

Really nice work on the finish. - it really looks the part

[AchtungPanzer]

Ohhh YES ! He need no decals hehe but with - will be ideal ...Its really 1:35 not 1:72? .

[alextheblue]

Looks really good Stefan, perfect job with the weathering!

[JayCub]

i think you hit the nail on the head when you said you where having fun, what a great start and i hope to browse your stug work log too.

[localjedi]

Good job, mate! I think the weathering adds a lot to the model.

[billk]

Cool work my friend,the weathering is great!
