Outstanding! I love the side skirts on the Panzer IV
I've seen some great work on here but those are all right up there with the best of 'em.

Tman, nice job on these two pieces! I like the Panzer IV and the winter whitewash scheme, I've tried
and haven't gotten it right yet.

Well done!

Thanks everyone - I really appreciate the positive feedback
Normandy, I had never painted a winter whitewash scheme before I repainted the Panzer IV and there are a variety of different ways to paint and weather a whitewashed vehicle. Personally, I found the "Hairspray Method" to be the easiest. Here's a link to a good reference for painting weathered winter whitewash on vehicles:

While it is for small war gaming tanks, the methods the builder discusses can be used just as effectively on larger scale vehicles.
