Merkava Mk IV LIC

I actually started on this tank a couple of months ago, but I've been neglecting it after assembly since I had a very hard time selecting the correct colours for this tank. But in the end, I finally got around to finishing it.

Assembly was simple enough, the only thing is that some of the parts are really fragile and small. With patience, it was completed after about a week.

The crazy part about assembling this tank is the forming of the balls and chains. I had to cut hemispheres to glue them on the brass etch.

The kit doesn't come with the cloth drab. So I used some leftover paper bag to form the cloth drab for the tank, there is no way I could pass up the opportunity to display the tank's markings.

After doing some minor colour modulation, detailing, and adding the decals, I finished the tank. I'm quite happy with it since it's one of my favourite modern tanks out there.

Jagpanzer IV

I took quite some time with this tank as I was really distracted with my other stuffs. I managed to somehow finish it even though I felt like procrastinating a little more.

The weathering turned out better than I thought, and I really like it now. I probably gotta retake the last image as it is a little too dark.

When I saw the box of this kit, I knew I had to paint one. Especially the desert colour variant that was used in Tunisia.

So assembly wasn't too difficult, I tried a different approach by not gluing on the tracks till I paint the road wheels.

I tried colour modulation this time, out of curiosity and the urge to learn it, I somehow managed to pull it off.

Before weathering

After weathering. I would admit that I actually went a little overboard with the weathering. I'm not really used to painting bright colours, but I'm adapting. Also, I've went the extra mile and put on a little antenna in the slot for the tank.


These pictures were taken in the store, they weren't that good.

Here are some better pictures with better lighting.

Hetz Hetz Hetz Hetz Hetz

Yeah, I've been chanting "Hetz Hetz Hetz Hetz Hetz" all the time I was working on this tank. Assembly was easy, but painting it with hard edged camo really took a lot of time.

I've also put some effort into painting the tank commander that comes along with this kit.

Panzer Kampfwagen IV Ausf D

I felt like working on some tanks temporarily, since I've been painting so much Dark Eldar and Eldar recently. So I thought it would be nice to just paint one up for funsies. I took my time and this time I took almost a week to finish this tank.
