Re: How to learn Panzer driving...
Cool looking little bugger! What season are you looking to do it in? Fall? Winter?

Re: How to learn Panzer driving...
Engine is painted. Additionally, I had a "roundhouse kick" on the dio - i. e. something of everything was added: the small tree besides the hall got green, grass tufts were glued (Noch) and the first figure found a place: a welder from Royal Models.
After a while, I found suitable figures with early tank uniformsd - in this case from MiniArt (German Tank Crew, France 1940, Art# 35191) and even some resin heads found their way in my stash.
Always a BIG help for diorama builders like me are punch & die tools. I use some from RP Toolz. All you need is brownish paper or - even better! - real leaves. Real leaves have the big advantage that they are in most cases thin enough to make the punching easy (not the case with thicker paper etc.) and besides, they even have the right color.
What season? Fall most probably. Somehow the new tool has to make sense.
So whats next? Chains I guess. That can take a while... See you soon!

Now the fiddly bits - 88 tracks per side are ready for paint.

At times like this, I am thrilled to only build in 1/72 scale! Good luck with these my friend!

After priming the base black and adding the first colors, I took care about the tool shop. MasterBox tools, spare parts and PlusModel oil cans helped here a lot. A friend recommended me the author of the two books, so I got two from him for a good price.
