Wow, nicely done Grognard! That is a great piece and you chose one striking paint scheme for it.

Krylon was a mistake. The paint takes for ever to dry,

Next time try the Krylon Ultra Flat, it comes in a variety of "military" type colors (ie. green, khaki, etc.) dries very quickly, even in my very humid climate, and produces and ultra flat and very durable finish. No, I'm not a salesman for Krylon...LOL... but I've had excellent results with the stuff, so try a can, and see what you think.

I never thought of frickin' resizing my 3-views on Photoshop! Holy Christ! Grognard I love you! Marder IIIM is go!

I'm only going to have to scan my 3-view after darkening a few lines, do some threshold on CS2, then size her up, and test print, measure, and then get some styrene and cut it up...

God I thought I was dead without money...

Nice choice for a project grognard. Rommel really appreciated his captured dorchester. I don't know if the other board members know that upon surrender in Africa the DAK was using about 85% Allied equipment ( mostly trucks).

Those two look great together Grog. Have you ever thought of selling them ala Picklehaube?

Hey man,
This looks good and your Grief is fantastic.What are you using for rivets? This has always been a pain for me and has ground to a halt a few projects that I have started.

PH have you ever tried Grandt Line products? Lots of 1/35 modelers use them for small details like rivets. I took a look at their website and they have 2 types of rivets in 3 different sizes each. They also have a large number of different types of scale nuts and bolts. Take a look around their website and I think you might find a few useful things.
