Almost 9 years after first putting paint on these I've finally finished four Pz IVHs and an HQ Stand - I think I need to speed up my painting rate

Don't think I'm going to make a living as a photographer, much of the highlight detail has vanished in the photo. There again I'm probably not going to make a living as a painter either!

Nice!!

What's on the command stand? pz3? hard to see in the pic

Better late than never, nice scheme.

Cheers

Ry

Look damn fine to me !
Nice stuff.
Cheers - Phil.

Looks good to me .

Nice work fella! 

They look pretty good to me.   Who makes the house in the background?

Thanks for the kind remarks - always very motivating

A further couple of shots. First of the HQ Stand - group of officers with a Pz IV. I'm planning similar "clutter" on further HQ and CO stands - kettenrads, AA guns, kubelwagens, tables, radio trucks, etc.

The house is a sub-Michael Winters ornament, bought ready painted from a local charity shop - the source of much of my Warmaster scenery - for 75p. Following petercooman's example here Sadly there's not so much by way of bunkers, ruins and Russian farmhouses in that line 

Tigers next up!

Nice!!

Yeah bargain scenery = more models 

I'll be buying myself some pendraken scenery in the not so distant future too though, i  have their acw houses, and they are superb! I must get started in painting them soon!

buuut tonight it will be russians! Only thing left to do is decals and static grass and they are done. Keep an eye on this section of the forum tonight 

Looking good again 'I' !
Cheers - Phil.

If you're anything like me the decals will be the thing that takes longest. I spoil two for every one I get on the model. 

I only spoiled one for the entire army, and that's because i found it too smaal, took it off and choose a bigger size

One tip for small scale decals, is to put a drop of water on your cutting mat, then put the cut out decal in this drop - then you don't have the problem of chasing the decal around a saucer of water.

Micrsol solution is also good - and 1 bottle lasts forever.

Actually, i just take a fairly large brush, dip it in the water, and while holding the decal next to the preferrred spot on the model, i push the brush against the paper, wetting the decal. I then just wait until it comes loose and slide it right into place.
