Another straight-out-the-box project, just completed. Impressive turret interior detail.

Hi!

Thank you for your compliments! ^D

I use oils for most of my weathering. On this particular model I experimented with acrylics in the same colors as my oils in an attempt to reduce the paint odors and to keep parts from dissolving and breaking from the mineral spirits. However, the acrylics seemed to go on dark but dry very light whereas the oils are the opposite. I am much more used to the behaviour of oils, but for the initial washes I may stick with the acrylics.

That looks awesome. You did a fantastic job on the weathering.

Very nice work on the Hintern, looks like it's definitely seen some better days! The transition from nicely painted vehicle to rusting out finish is particularly impressive.

Here is a link to some info:

I know the undercarraige is similar to the Elefant and Tiger [P], both of which I have built. But I still don't know if both the front and rear sprockets provide drive power. Maybe someone here can answer??
