Hoth's Corner

I am slowly making progress on my Pz IV F2s. I have 10 base coated in Dark Yellow and all but three have the Dark Red/Brown camo pattern on them. All the wheels are painted, though not visible in the image below. I plan to build a full company with a mix of vehicles in exclusively just a base coat for replacement vehicles and the mono camo for the veteran pieces. I have the detailed work, Decals and wash left to do. Let me know what you think of my work so far and any constructive criticism for things to work on.

Those are beautiful! We need more pics of your work!

Those look great, Hoth! It is great to see your progress on your mid-war German forces.

Thanks for your feedback Pete.. I agree that its great to see some progress with my pieces.. I think this has been the most focused I've been in a long long time. Staying focused is had moments that is was difficult.


Redleg, thanks for the compliment and trust me, I will be posting more. I want to make a display base for my pieces to photograph on. Might have to be a little side project that I do here and there. Not sure if it will be made from Styrofoam or I might get a wood base from Hobby lobby and do something on that.

Its been a while since my last post, so I thought I would throw something up. These are some PZIII Ls and Ns with a simple Dark Yellow and Oliver Green camo scheme. They need detail paint, decals and some TLC before they are complete. I think once I get some of the detail work and decals, they should look a lot better.

I look forward to seeing you evolutionarily progress. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Chris, I hope to have some updates soon.

Very crisp job on these, impressive detailing of the tracks & wheels. Looking forward for the next steps.

Foxbat,

Thanks for the feedback. I am doing my best to continue to paint in the shadow of the greats on this forum. Also trying to be a good student of Professor Pete. More to come for sure.

Beautiful tanks Hoth! Keep the pics coming!

[Hoth_902]

Thanks Redleg, I got a total of seven PZIII Ls and Ns combined. 8 More to go before detail work and decals...

Great looking tanks, Hoth! It is very nice to see your progress here. I am looking forward to seeing more when you are ready.

Pete,

Thanks for the feedback Pete. I am actually having painting these. I sadly bounce back and forth on weather I like how the pattern is coming out, but I am anxious to move to the next step on these. With that being said, I am really anxious to get to the decal stage.

I got a few more tanks done, over the weekend. And wanted to line them all up. Figured none of you would mind another picture. As you can see, I only have 2 PZIII Ns and 1 PZIII Ls to camo, if I choose to do so. Have not fully decided if I am going to paint all tanks with a base coat of Dark Yellow and Mono color of Olive Green. Also want to point out, I started the same camo on some PZIII Ms with side skirts. Enjoy!!!

Those are beautiful Hoth! Keep the pics coming!
