I think the Avenger looks great. Liked the flag on the hood of the halftrack. With the open hatches,maybe paint them 'interior color'

Catman Nice work mate.
The Avenger is sweet mate,I like that
The German halftrack is nice with the sandy & the figures are certainly interesting. Like the Fallie wearing the US Officers peaked cap
The US halftrack weathering works well for splattered mud for a quick camo as well as mud driving though the flag is modern isn`t it?
Now the MK IV panzer Whitewash IS SWEET I like that mate,nice job there

Surprised to see who`s driving it though..LOL
Nice work on everything mate

Look forward to more & seeing the dio

I like the Panzer IV. This white wash is messy and looks like it should be. Field applied and done quickly. The M3A3 on the other hand needs help. For future projects try to remember that globbing mud on the whole vehicle doesn't always make a good custom. Look at a car or truck driving around on the street. See where the dirty areas are. That's a easy way of reference on what a military vehicle would look like. Just on a bigger scale. Minor mud or weathering to the upper half with major work done to the bottom. The front, wheel wells, tires, etc should have more. Paint chipping is also another good technique along with exaust smoke at the right areas. I hope this helps and keep it up. Very good job for a youngster and always try new ideas. The beauty of ground vehicles is that there is always a way to hide sins and mess ups.

The Panzer IV is the best I have seen you do so far. I told you that you would develope a nack for painting with practice. Good job!

For the Avenger I used Acrylic Baby Blue, for the US Halftrack Christmas/Kelly green, for the whitewashes I mixed my own

looks good catman
now you need to buy you a cheap airbrush and 3m green masking tape.
later you will want Tamiya tape and a duel action airbrush
it's not that hard. i started on white cardboard, then cheap kits.
