Also, I’m coming to realize that each project creates and over-all picture of the modeler. And that evolution is worth documenting too. And it’s easier for me if it’s all in one place.
So let’s get going,
Here we have a Panzer III, from Dragon that I’ve been working on. I don’t remember what happened with my last Panzer III or why I ended up hating it so much. I think it had a lot to do with how heavy-handed I was with the oil paints, I began that project at the tail end of my “Weather everything as heavily as possible because I can and it’s armor so who cases” phase. And that no longer works for me. At all. With this project, I wanted a lot of subtle weathering, small, almost minuscule chipping, good use of pigments, reserved, conservative use of oils. I’m pleased with how it’s coming along and I have a beautiful stowage set I’ll be adding to this with, in the coming days and weeks.
This one is a Panzer IV, DAK. Y’all know I like the Afrika Korps. For this build, I envision a mashup between WWII and The Exorcist in the form of a small diorama where the tank is passing by a statue of Pazuzu in Libya and the commander becomes possessed.
I like this project in particular because I’ll get to sculpt clay and I’ve always enjoyed that.
I’ll update this thread as progress happens.
Thank you for your interest in my models.
And I’m looking forward to seeing what you’re gonna do with the Mk.IV. I’m definitely going to watch these projects.
