Although I must add that the nickname of “ole snappy” just does not sound German enough... :hmm:

:whistle:
Yeah, that’s true, it isn’t very German sounding at all... hmmmm I think I can fix it though.

Today is going to be a very busy day for me at work so with that in mind I took some time before logging in to get the decals on Der Schnappër. You have no idea how good it feels to finally be able to take full-on close-ups of decals. Oh man.

I didn’t bother with MicroSol. Instead, I opted for Solvaset. Two very light coats. These are Cartograf decals and I tested one out with the Solvaset on “Doug The Paint Mule” before using it on the model. I found two light coats hit the decal with a double-leg takedown, got mount, ground-and-pounded it and then choked it into submission and got the job done, generally-speaking.

What’s more, I got the same rush of happiness and unbridled joy I got with my StuG after I put the markings on it. It comes to life. The red and the white look great on my custom Panzer Gray, and I am
Very happy with this model at this point.

Up next: another clear coat, then dry brushing and building wheels.

You guys are killing me with the Solvaset and decal talk...


Kenny, this one is really looking good with the decals on now. :shoutout:

Lyle, this is the best meme I’ve seen in a long time. It’s splendid and it captures perfectly the sort of aggression necessary when dealing with these often-times temperamental, uncooperative things.
