Hetzer

[Aracula]

Hetzer I am working on and experimenting with foliage and pigments, looking for some suggestions to make it look a bit more realistic, and comments be appreciated.

And yes Maus is still coming along:)

Wow your Hetzer looks great Aracula!!! The three color camo scheme looks good as well!

As for the Foliage: I would use just one of the colors. If you think of the time of year, that would dictate which color to use. Spring - light green, Summer - dark green and Fall - yellow. This is just a suggestion nothing written in stone.

This is a very nice looking custom, I'd love to see a 1:18 Hetzer Kit.

Your Hetzer tooling is looking great! Much better than your very early examples and quite accurate now. I want one

As normandy said, I'd try to keep the foliage all one color - and ensure its a little more drab... Some of it looks quite bright in your pictures.

Okay guys, both great advice thanks. I am learning as I go and want to make them more accurate, so the advice is appreciated.

[Aracula]

Okay same color foliage.

Thats it Aracula, thats the look you want, nothing jumps out at you when viewing the model. The
camouflage paint scheme along with the foliage were used to break up the shape of the tank and
also help it blend into the surroundings.
Nice Job!

Use woodland scenics "dead foilage" and try to use metal wire or rope to put it on. Your Hetzer looks good, it would really benefit from some fading to tone down that green. Looks like you already have a bid on it!

[Aracula]

Yeah I seen that bid already, same guy has bought from me before. Guess he likes my vehicles

Again appreciate the advice I am learning on this weathering effects of the vehicles, and just purchased a 3D printer, which I am hoping to use to make more accurate wheels, and other smaller parts that I can mold and reuse to speed up my process a bit.
