New customs 1:32 Elefant, Hetzer Stug

Post by Cabe » Sat Jan 24, 2009 11:09 pm

I challenged myself to see how many custom works I could get done over 3-4 days and get them onto eBay

Besides finishing up the Jagdtiger (other thread)

here are a few I cranked out over past 48
there is another (King Tiger) that I might post image of though not done yet

it was a panther scheme I have, the gun barrell is adapted from a couple of images that had a pure gelb tiger/panther tank with a black barrel that appeared to have been hurried to the front, i used tamiya black/ green but somehow it looks grau.
I guess this is my interpretation of a king tiger that either had time to apply some camo after being given the same rush job or it has had it original main damaged and has either had a barrel brought up from factory painted like this or had a barrel scavenged off another less fortunate King T
it might look less suspect if the black green came out greener in the photo. I am going to have to give the tank a good lookover in better light i guess

I really like the Stug and KT. My painting skills are no were even close to yours. You did a great job. They do look a bit shiny though. How would it look if you shot them with a coat of dull coat ? They look just a little shiny to my eye.

I agree, really nice. It looks like a miniature version of 1/16 RC Stug III he did for me awhile back. Nice work on all though, no doubt about it. 8)

Beauties as always Cabe!
