COMPLETED Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. B

[wyoroy]

This is Revell/Italaerei's (kit # H-2117) 1/35 Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. B done in the markings of the Panzer Regiment 25, XV panzer Corps, Panzer Group "Kleist" 4 Armee, Hrg. B Western Somme (France) 10-6-1940.

It was done with Model Master Enamel #2094 Schwarzgrau '39-'43. Dry brushed with lightened coats of the base coat. I applied a wash of burnt umber and a mix of pigments. The tracks were sprayed a rust color for a base then a coat of flat black. The high parts of the track was highlighted with a #2 pencil along with the teeth on the drive sprocket. It was flat coated overall with Alclad II Klear Kote Flat ALC 314.

Questions, comments and suggestions are welcomed. Now I need to figure out how to take better pictures.

ROY,

Whether it's your second kit or 40 something kit .... I've been building Armor for years & I'm constantly learning New Techniques !! I love it ! It keeps th wheels turnin' ! You should never stop learnin' !!

As a former middle school math teacher I never stop learning ;D perhaps it's me but I think armor may be a bit harder to get a realistic finish.

ROY,

Congrats to being a teacher !! Just keep gettin it ! I too sometimes struggle with trying to obtain a realistic finish on Armor/Armor related.
