imgur.comSorry to say but i think this model needs a way better paintjob i.e. altering, weathering.The colours are just totally horrible for a camo and unrealistic as well.

not every model needs to look like it just fell off a canyon into a septic tank. 'factory fresh' is perfectly fine. plausible camos are okay. anything the modeller is happy with is okay.

Fell off a canyon is a good way to describe a lot of model makers tanks... While I can admire the detail some put into destroyed tanks, I don't really get the whole 'every tank should look like it just survived a flooded junk yard' aesthetic... But to each their own.

Its looks crappy imho. Tracks are not even painted. The green looks just silly and overall its not a good build bc. of badly glued parts. Also the decal shines to much. Yeah but i know, here on reddit critics are not welcome as everyone cheers even the crappiest modelworks as "well done" "awsome" and so on. Sorry, but if i see an ugly amateur-model i wont hold back my critics.

someone has a chip on their shoulder. i've seen plenty of critiques on here. the difference is that they're objective, not based on personal preference. and most importantly, they aren't rude.

So my critics arent objective though i pointed out in an objective way whats wrong inmho with that model. Lol good joke bud.

I did intend to grime and rust her up at some point. As for the camo, luckily I won't be fighting inside her! :)
Thanks for your feedback

Early production Sturmtiger (1/72) in an ahistorical winter ambush camo pattern. It's sort of a mashup of a few patterns I saw that I thought would look cool and was achievable with the paints I had on hand.
I like the model - went together easy, and its such a distinctive little tank with a big gun. It's from Trumpeter, by the way!
Awesome job on the model! I like how the camo turned out on a smaller scale. Did you paint the camo by hand?
Thanks! I did a black base coat, tapped off green slashes, then taped off sections of that and did the white wash. The ambush spots were by hand with a tiny brush. Lots of steps but not actually that difficult.
Thanks for sharing!
