Wirbelwind paint shop - FINISHED !
Hi guys,
here are some pics from my Wirbelwind. Early production from Ostbau-Sagan factory. Now in the paint shop.
Hull has been zimmerited. Turret has receive weld seams. Mud already applied but will be painted on the last stage.
Still lot of work to do but it comming nicely. Thanks a lot to Pickel for this great convertion set.

As I was a little bit lazy, I decided to use a rubber zimmerit made for the 1/16 Tiger tank instead of doing it with putty.Fritzkrieg wrote:Fantastic job!
The zimmermit is very well done. What is your technique?

So here is how my Wirbel is going on...
First, I have applied a dark filter on the hull. This to melt colors and highlight details. Turret have no filter at all to show you difference.
Now, filter is applied on turret too. Look how welding seams are now more visible.
And now the flak gun with some details added. No filter applied yet.
More to come.

Hi Rob,Fritzkrieg wrote:Wow!
I can't wait to see wht this looks like with a crew. What did you use for the mud?
Fantastic Job,
Rob
I still need to do a crew for it
For the mud, I use white glue diluted with a bit of water and I add sand on the mixture. Applied with an old brush. Don't worry for glue trace as white glue become transparent when drying.
For painting, different shade of brown earth to give some relief. If you want a wet aspect, just add varnish to your paint.
