Title: SKIN - Panzer IV H
Post by: airmess on December 13, 2004, 03:52:09 PM

Hi

I've been working on this Panzer IV H skin since a while. It was a pain to find a historical adequate reference, but i've found on i hope the HT team will accept. I'll submit it maybe by end of next week.

It belongs to the 9th. Panzer Division in 1943.

I also noticed a hint of brown in the camo scheme, which I don't see in yours.

You know what would look really cool on those armor skirts ... some previous battle damage scars.

In the sample pic that you provide, doesn't it look like on of those skirts has a hole in it from some sort of round that was fired at it ?

I know that you skinners do a good job of adding weathering to the planes, but some of that really needs to be done to the tanks too.

Anyways ... looks great airmess ... hope it gets in.

Thanks for your feedback. The hint of brown is there, but due to the light effect you can't see it really good.

It's not finished yet. It need wathering and damages. Don't worry, i'll add it on one way or the other.

Heres a thought.
Could you do a panel in the skirt as a transparent color so that part of the skirt appears missing as in pic?
Or would that be considered altering the basic shape?
