Panzer IV slow progress


after messing them up i've decided to do another coat of base paint over the wash to brighten them up then i will weather them a bit might do a thin wash yet haven't made up my mind man its been a long time since i last paint tanks need some practise. I'm up for suggestions guys as i know there are some great Flames of war painters out there

    Aw the Mk IV, love them with all the additional armor. I'm not a FoW guy - only 28mm/1:48 scale stuff for WW2, but I've used dry-brushing to lighten the finish. I've also used it to blend in camo that looked too dark. I've used Vallejo Green Ochre that seemed to do the trick - it came with the German WW2 set anyway. Regards, Dean

    The one's on the right are the re-base coated one's I'm assuming.... if this is for desert theatre I'd leave them exactly as is - they look brilliant... maybe a dry brush of a lighter version of your base colour....

    If you want to do some camo over them try getting a load of blutac and cover the tank in think stripes of it push it down at the edges to stop any seeping and the hit them with a green spay paint if you want to spent the time you can repeat with a brown spray.
    Or go buy and airbrush :)
    Peace James

    both look good, but the lighter one is more to my taste.

    They both look good, but the one on the left looks like its been thru the desert...just my opinion

    They look good but i probably would go for the left one. I myself ain't a German painter so i won't paint any camo.
    Next is a link to a German Tank Army painted by Tomwise.
    I must say that he uses a Airbrush but it is just to give you an idea how a late war tank army looks with Camo.
    And i think with your painting skills you can archive something like this too. ;)
