Why an L/48 short barrel and not the L/70 long barrel? The short barrel was a stop gap until the long barrel could be brought into production. It would be more appropriate for earlier in 1944 with Zimmerit.
It's a fantastic looking model, but at current prices it needs to nail it. I can't find...
Thanks Louis, those guys are awesome. It's an honor to be mentioned in the same league as those guys. They certainly inspired me.
You'd laugh if you saw the tweaking of white balance of sky and foreground. I'm learning to use my new Nikon Z7 II mirrorless. I find the 20mm prime is doing the...
November 1944, East Prussia.
Panther 223, Panzer-Regiment 31, 5.Panzer-Division, fords a creek as it approaches the main line of resistance. It is accompanied by Panzergrenadiers from Panzergrenadier-Regiment 13.

Once the glue dried we removed the loose litter with the hand vacuum.
The process is repeated.
The tree bases we created blend well
That’s pretty much it. We’ll tinker for a few more days with detailing and then I should be able to setup some scenes.
We’ve reached the point where we can add the forest litter. This will be done in layers until the desired level of coverage is reached.
Thinned white glue is dabbed onto the board and then the forest litter mix is applied. A large portion of the litter won’t stick and will be removed with a...
I agree, this is my favorite too. The animation is great, the gear is interesting and well done, the figure is super versatile for scenes. I picked up this one, the radioman, the sniper, and the kneeling NCO.

A little extra Mod Podge for the bow wave for various items in the creek. Note the leaves that are captured in some of the nooks.
The next day after drying
There will be another pass of shrubs and bushes once the second batch arrives. Meanwhile work will...
