Thanks for your kind words Maaten and Tony

More to follow shortly.

near finished build ,
The problem being ,which insignia should be used ?
I would really appreciate anyone's assistance with the correct shoulder boars/insignia.
From the reference material suggests artillery insignia, or, being 1945 did this fall under the panzerwaffe insignia?
Please advise best suggestions .:confused::):eek:
Thanks :)

Thanks a lot Maaten.

Hello again,

Here we are now with the base covered and a brief groundwok covering started.
This is the start to the ground layout.
The border of the timber base was stripped back to be restained .
This was the starter.

Hi,


Here are some further images on the progress on the Jagd .
Somewhat better to previous posts as I am using a different photo setup.

This is by no means completed yet .
I have just finished glueing the groundwork in place
The painting and weathering is yet to come.:yell::yell::).
There will be 2 figures on the ground.I've canned 1 of them and will replace out with someone else so I'm going through the collection to work out which 1
This is where we are now .

I decided to build the Bronco 25 pounder in the interim .To fill in time...waiting...and waiting....
What a challenge :yell::yell:eek::)

Ok ,so back onto the base We needed to change the colour from an artifical looking groundwork to something with colour.
I use a Tamiya dark green as the base to work to

This is to build depth in detail
Start from a dark colour and build up ,happy days:D:) :eek:

From here we use various shades of green and flat earth and brown
And have a wine to check the results :)

sorry , have a wine during painting....

And the result
