About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind progress #3

Here is the Wirbelwind with pretty much all the acrylic and airbrush work done. It was painted in Tamiya mixes for the dunkelgrun and rotbrun, with a post-shade in a mixture of acrylic black and brown. This I use to go over panel lines, edges and any areas that need some extra shadow that an oil wash won't really achieve.

Next step is some oil-based washes and filtering to give it depth. You will see that it is still a little "flat" at the end of this stage, and the washes will give it contrast and help bring it to life...
