From plastic to model - a pictorial story

Written by Viper   

Here I present a photo-documentary of the stages of building an Armour model kit.

The photographs show the effects of each major step or technique.

I hope this serves to illustrate to the beginner modeller what difference each technique gives, to increase the realism of a plastic kit.

This model is built from the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. F2/G kit from Dragon Models. It is finished in the markings of the German Afrika Corps (DAK) in Tunisia 1942.

Thanks for the comments, Steve.
I'd prefer that you were inspired than discouraged Laughing

Just keep building models, I didn't reach this stage overnight.

Model on!
My Goodness!!!

 That is magnificent work... I am both inspired and a little discouraged. I just can't imagine making a model this great Sad
