Chan dressed up Dragon's 1990's vintage StuG III Ausf. F with tracks and sandbag "armor " from Panzer Art. The model was painted with Tamiya paints and the AK winterizing set. It was weathered with Mig and AK mud and snow products.
The figures are from Mk35 and Evolution while the one in the anorak in is from the VLS Warrior line.
Chan modeled this T1E1 conversion of the Italeri M32B1 using the Bold Division resin conversion set. He painted it with Tamiya and AK paints, weathered it with Mig and AK mud and streaking products, light earth pigments, and oils
The dragon's teeth are VLS and the figures are from various manufacturers including Alpine, Dragon, and MK35.
Bernie's Tamiya Marder III and Takom Sgt. York finished except for weathering.
Tamiya's newer boxing of the M3 (actually an M3A1) painted with Tamiya paints. The groundwork is from AK.
The tank commander is the kit figure; the water girl is a Doug's original.
Here is the completed diorama Terry brought in last month as a work in progress.
Stew's build of an Afrika Korps Panzer 1A combined Tristar's Pz. 1A Early and 1A Early/Late (with interior) kits and Modelkasten tracks. Neither of the Tristar kits had turret weld seams or vision port detail so Dragon pieces were used to enhance those details. Stew expressed regret that he didn't purchase the Dragon kit before getting well along in the project since he found the Modelkasten tracks very frustrating to work with. The rubber band tracks in the Dragon kit would have greatly simplified the build. Photoetch from Voyager was used in addition to the PE that came with the kits.
A generic desert camo color was mixed and roughly applied over a base of Tamiya German grey. Filters, pin washes, and sand and dust weathering completed the build.
