After my recent visit to the Hobby Model Expo in Milan this year I bought some figures of Evolution Miniatures including a half bust of German tank crewman in winter uniform much more suited to the scene that set the Jagdpanzer IV reference EM-35059.I was pleasantly surprised the quality of these resin figures really very beautiful.I replaced the original head produced by Hornet in a winter version.

Jagdpanzer IV L 70 Change the tank crew.
Dopo la mia recente visita all'Hobby Model Expo di Milano di quest'anno ho acquistato alcuni figurini della Evolution Miniatures tra cui un mezzo busto di carrista tedesco in uniforme invernale molto più adatto alla scenetta in cui ambientare lo Jagdpanzer IV referenza EM-35059.Sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso dalla qualità di questi figurini in resina veramente molto belli.Ho sostituito la testa originale con una prodotta dalla Hornet in versione invernale.

Painting and Weathering Jagdpanzer IV L 70 2
Dopo aver lasciato asciugare bene il colore ho eseguito su tutto il modello un lavaggio con Terra D'Ombra Naturale ad olio ben diluito.Nella fase successiva ho iniziato il vero lavoro di invecchiamento del veicolo riproducendo come prima cosa le colature dello sporco provocate dagli agenti atmosferici sempre con i colori ad olio e poi sono passato alla realizzazione della prima parte di scrostature (chipping) dovute all'usura con i soliti pezzi di spugne di vari tipi e anche con l'aiuto di un pennello molto piccolo(un 5 zeri) utilizzando il colore Humbrol 67 Matt Tank Grey.Il fango nella parte inferiore dello scafo è stato realizzato con terra da modellismo a cui ho aggiunto una piccola quantità di poseidonia secca e un pò di pezzi di canapa da idraulico per simulare l'erba strappata dai cingoli il tutto miscelato con colla vinilica e acqua.
After leaving to dry the color I run on the model a washing with raw umber oil well diluted.In the next step I started the real weathering work of the vehicle reproducing as first thing drips of dirt caused from the elements always with oil colors and then I initiate the realization of the first part of chipped paint due to wear
with the usual pieces of sponges of various types and also with the help of a very small brush (Five 0) using the Humbrol color 67 Matt Tank Grey.The mud on the bottom of the hull has been realized with modelling earth to which I added a small quantity of poseidonia dry and a bit of pieces of hydraulic hemp to simulate the grass torn from the tracks all mixed with white glue and water.
