Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 223

Jörg Luther
Beautiful. 👍

Philipp Groß
Thanks Jörg! 🙂

Very convincing figure pose. Model is also a beauty😉

Philipp Groß
Thanks 🙂 The figure came with the kit. It still looks reasonably good for its age. My painting could be better...

Jörg Luther
No need to hide your light under a bushel. I find the figure really well done - and who of us wouldn't have room for improvement? Anyway the 223 looks very convincing with it's Dunkelgelb over Panzergrau finish. Every time I look at the pics I kinda expect Agedabia or Marsa el Brega to turn up in the background.

Philipp Groß
Thanks again Jörg! Though I definitely need to practice more. I have a few dioramas planned that will need a lot of them... As for the background....time to practice photo editing as well I suppose 😄

Dave Flitton
Looking good! I like the base, how did you build it?

Philipp Groß
Thank you Dave! The rocks were made from plaster mixed with pigments. I just poured a generous portion into a cup then broke it into suitable pieces by hand once it was dry. The wooden base is a cheap picture frame. I glued the rocks onto it with white glue and then added a layer of fine sand on top. The dry weeds are something that grows around here, our dog once had it stuck to her leg...modelling inspiration can happen in the most unlikely places.... 😄

Spanjaard
nicely done. good idea with the rocks. congratulations

Philipp Groß
Thanks! 🙂

Bryn Crandell
Looks fantastic!

Amazing! Tiny nitpick though: the piping on armoured car uniforms was yellow, IIRC, pink was for tank crews.

Moritz Fentzahn
Nice build. Base and paintjob are really inspiring to me.

Philipp Groß
Thanks everyone!

The Waffenfarbe on armoured Recon seems a little confusing. I was under the impression that all armoured units had pink, but apparently this was only from 1943 onwards. I need to do some more research....

Jörg Luther
He borrowed the jacket from a chap at PzRgt 5, his ones were at the laundry😉

Philipp Groß
Makes sense 😄
