Mark SherwoodHi Kesa. I like it's suggested compactness over the Panzer IV, it looks like a Tank as does the Tiger. They spring to mind when anyone talks/say's describe a Tank.

Kesa TihoI suppose if you ask any normal person what a tank looks like they'd describe a panzer III or Tiger, yet again. Different models, time periods and ares where the tank are used alter the appearance. Like could be seen with T-34-85s, some were like they were intended while others had components missing and non functional scopes. And Ukrainian Abrams, instead of the usual M at the end of the serial number its UKR, and the armour is different, not using their classified armour. Back to the topic, when i look at my old drawings of tanks they do look like Tigers, boxy and big so i guess your right.

Mark SherwoodEvening Kesa. Different eras, different battlefields, terrain etc. Gives people their favourite MBT. But when someone says Tank the PzIII and the Tiger come to mind for me (Or the boiler in the Loft) then the Imperial March from Star Wars. 🤟🥸🤘🤣

Mark SherwoodThank you Lebloge more noodling too do on PzIII though and bringing the base together, Mathias it could go tits up, it's me 😳🤣 I have been known to cock things up and that's enough euphemisms. Cheers guys. 🤟🥸🤘

Mark SherwoodAy up Ian. Primed with Mr Color Grey 1000 then Vallejo off white to highlight from the top down. Then I used Vallejo Panzer Aces Afrika Korps tank crew and Afrika Korps Highlights as a base. Then jipped up the base colours with Vallejo beige/buff for highlights Vallejo Black/Grey.for the downlights. And after all that dry brushing with oils then a overall very thin coat of DAK Highlights for a dust effects.usual flesh colours for face and hands but with a slight shading with tan, the base was blue and red. 😮🤘🥸🤟😮

Mark SherwoodWe have in Middlesbrough a branch of Boyes, which stocks all Vallejo Paints and requisite Vallejo products. Plus all the Citadel paints, Humbrol tinnies, Tamiya aerosol primer's and various sundries. They maybe online, but I would not swear to it. 🤟🥸🤘

Ian ShawI've just looked them up but they don't have an online shop, I've got the vallejo number for the jacket it's 70.336 and have found the colour swatch online so I can have a go at mixing it. I've been reading up on afrika korps and their uniforms and colours are numerous and fading has to be taken into consideration as well I guess.

Mark SherwoodHi Ian the other is Highlight Afrika Korps Vallejo VAL 70.340 they are listed in my project inventory and I have posted a picture along with the references. PM Models are currently doing 10% off I think on the Panzer aces range, not a bad online store for modelling stuff.

Album info
Tamiya's 97 tooling of the Panzer III. As of this posting falling together as Tamiya does. A desert scheme beckons, maybe a diorama. ? Payday, I'll buy some stowage and maybe figures and a readymade base. ?
