[cthulhu77]

I'm am thoroughly glad to be done with the tracks on this kit (individual link) and finally onto the painting of the bugger.  It's the CyberHobby/Dragon kit with a few twists:

Greg,

Were you using the salt method for weathering on this?  Nice work so far, looking forward to seeing the barrels mounted.

[cthulhu77]

I wanted a mop-applied white wash look, so I chopped off a brush a bit to make a 1/35th scale brush:

[Sauragnmon]

Damn, the Kugelblitz does look so cool, seriously cool man.  Always did think it looks very cool.

Greg, you want me to move this to the Let It Snow GB? Sure looks eligable.

[Brian da Basher]

Absolutely stunning, Wise Old One!!!'

Thanks all !  I will be sure to post the review article here too...boy, what a stupid tank design this was !!!!

[philp]

You going to bring it to Nats?

[Taiidantomcat]

Great effect with that white wash! looks real 

[cthulhu77]

Thanks !  yes, it will be at the nats, for sure...part of the largest diorama I have ever made.

[Jeffry Fontaine]

The "mop" job looks quite real considering how small that model is in size.

[cthulhu77]

Oh, its a pretty fair sized model...but the funniest part is that when I went to photograph it yesterday, I knocked over the backround right onto the model...yeah, that was fun.

[cthulhu77]

the last shot prior to the disaster...yes, the Lt. was killed in action, and his hand was eaten by the carpet monster...

[Arc3371]

Lovely model, so will the poor Lt get a hook to replace the hand?

Alas General Eishenhower was correct when he said the currency of war is waste.....
