Ok, here are my WWII German AFVs built between 1994 thru 2004. Some were damaged to one degree or another in the mishap previously mentioned. All of those are now repaired with what parts that I could find... a few tiny pieces are long gone...

Italeri Befehlspanzer I

Image

Italeri Sturmgeschutz IV (Squadron Green Putty and Tamiya tool for the Zimmerit)

Image

Tamiya Sturmpanzer IV (Squadron Green Putty and Tamiya tool for Zimmerit)

Image

Nichimo King Tiger (Porsche turret), same Zimmerit technique

Image

Tamiya SdKfz 250/9 (most heavily damaged in the mishap- mostly repaired aside from missing parts)

Image

Dragon Nashorn

Image

Italeri Panzer IB

Image

Tamiya Panzer III N (old tooling kit), modified to take indy link tracks, schurzen thinned down, not quite finished- markings and weathering never applied... :whistle:

Image

WWII Western Allied vehicles of 1994-2004 coming in the next bit....

Hullo! Your hand carved zimmerit on the Sturmpanzer is amazing! Also the Italeri Sturmi... Sturm gestalt? I give up... the model above it in your gallery! Congratulations on your repairs!

Hand added. You squeeze on some Putty, then use the Tamiya tool, which looks like a section of saw blade, to move along the surface, dragging the putty across. You stop and zig it a bit every few mm to get the alterations in the patterns.

Mark, they show it in person. I had to replace one of the headlight mounting posts with some metal rod on the 250/9. You can see it if you look close.

Ok, I just remembered about this thread while trying to find photos of some of my older builds. At some point, due to earlier bandwidth issues with this site, and the Photobucket extortion scheme, the images have been moved or deleted. Anyways I’m going to be going through those and replacing them where I can. Then I can figure out what photos I have not yet put on here and get those addressed….
