I think trying to replicate real wood is a challenge to achieve in plastic models. So many variations of brown color, you never can figure which color is sufficient or correct. Brilliant work on the axe. Bravo.

Fantastic work on that gun breech!

I really like that. The weathering is great, I like the color of the oils you washed it with to pull out those details, it makes for a lovely piece. Great work!

Also, this here, where the camo gives way to bare metal:
This was executed in such a lovey way. I like how you didn’t use a hard edge. It looks natural this way. It adds realism. I love little details like this that are so well-executed.

Yes! I checked this out before heading out this morning... beautiful work.
Make more models!
Re: MENG 1/35 Sd.kfz. 173 Jagdpanther
Regarding paints...
They arrived a moment ago, directly from my "LHS", Domino models...
And I went with the recommendation of Torben & Carlos, AK Real colors it is!
Have test "sniffed" already both the thinner and the jars...
... and mmmm, I love the smell of thinner & lacquers in the morning!

Grrrrreat!!!
Real Color paints are quite "rich" on pigments, so I recommend to try some thin ratios first. Though I've used a different thinner (Mr. Levelling Thinner), I've painted with 20% paint for surfaces and 10-15% for detail work.
