At last, it's done.
The side skirts (Shurzen) is all made from soda cans!

The tankers still need some dullcoat as you can see. The decals are still shiny.

Wow!

Great work, I love the sectioned side skirts, I've wanted to do a Panzer IV with, missing and damaged side skirt sections since I started customizing XD vehicles. What did you use to make them, aluminum cans?

The zimmermit looks great. I' got two XD Tigers comming in next week, and I want to give zimmermit a try for the first time on one of them. What are you using?

This stuff.

I have the three pound.

This stuff is the best ever!!!! Extremely strong and will not ship off! Rock solid!
It sands very nicely and can be smoothed with water. YOu can even paint it before it dries. I normally don't though. It takes a chance of leaving a finger print.

FOr the texture, I just use a screw driver bit. 8)

That Schurzen is amazing, how did you work it to get it so flat?, it really sets the whole model off, that and the zimmerit, great job.
