Thanks everyone! Logan, I'd love to take it to Edmonton for AMPS but that is a double wedding weekend for me.

I thought you were already married Dave?! Who are the other 2 lucky women? LOL!

Very good diorama! Is "Haus Hausbrot" a bakery or just the name of the shopkeeper?

Everything done to perfection! The tank, figures, anti-tank and rubble. Simply a masterpiece many of us aspire to.

Welcome mates! No new pictures yet but I managed to work on the pre shading, so the actual paiting can begin soon.
To, hopefully, save me some trouble I will check some colour conversion tables and compare which I need for this tank and the Edelweiss.

As I intend to use my Tamiya paints instead of buying the ones in the guide I maybe have to eyeball the colours. So even if the colours are not completely accurate I want at least both tanks to look the same, if I am supposed to use the same blue on both, for example.

There are lighting kits for both tanks but I will simply paint the radiator style "exhausts" of their engines as the machines in the world of Valkyria Chronicles do not run on petrol or diesel but on a substance called "ragnite" instead. That is also one of the reasons there are no exhaust pipes on the tanks. Instead the "radiators" are molded in clear plastic, which I will paint in clear blue.

I am also not sure yet how much I will weather both tanks, probably only some light to medium chipping and a low amount of dust, dirt and splatters.

First coats of paint applied. Next step I have to prepare and apply the masks before I can paint the second colour.
