Panzer lV 1/35
I would like to also show off this great little build that I am proud of. This is a 1/35 Panzer lV from Tamiya that was really fun and easy to build. This little guy went together over the course of about three days and i am very happy with it. It won second place at a local hobby competition and awarded me that nice little medallion that is in the picture. I use silver and white, dry brushing them on the model sparingly to get the worn effects. I am still a little new to this technique but am pleased with the result. As always thank you and I look forward to your comments!

Nice is that the old Tamiya kit from the 70s? I love those old kits, they build up easy and look great. Nice job!

Would you believe some folks scoff at these awards? They have no clue. Ain’t it a grand feelin’ to win something?
Very nice job on the panzer IV, congrats.

I like my awards. They may not be international competitions super amazing medals, but they are my wins and I enjoy having them. The local community in my area are pretty good at model building and I see it as a decent accomplishment. Thank you

That’s a nice build, Jonathan @SlowGlide!
I ‘m afraid (!) to build armor!!! Looks too complicated!
I might try now after your inspiration.
All the best!

Dude, armor is the easiest to build by far. Trust me! Tanks and the like are so forgiving it is incredible. If your mess up or nick the paint wrong…just make a scuff mud, or damage in that area and boom! Its gone! Maybe try a tamiya kit like this. They are cheap and simple…a little repetitive, but fun. Here is a picture of my first armor vs. my second, look at my improvement in just one tank from a decent model to an award winning one.
