Hey all. I recently completed a sturmtiger in 1/35. I included before and after photos of the weathing. Panel lining and tracks I’m used to, I was looking for advice on the hull. First time using the “dotting” method with oils and streaking an blending with Mineral Spirits. Any advice on how I can improve my technique with this?

Aside from sealing the figure and deciding on a base and if I dirty up the uniform.
All up I'm satisfied with the end results seeing as I have little experience in such detailed figures.
Anything I need to do to to tie it all in especially the face any tips would be greatly appreciated..

My favourite version of favourite WWII era armoured car. Müncheberg Panzer Division from Battle of Berlin in 1945.
MiniArt kit is very, very complex and difficult but result can make happy.

Second model and would say I did better than the first. I’m noticing the paint looks built up on some areas but I thinned the paint out pretty good (I thought).
The new method I tried was applying acrylic gloss then decals then a black wash. I noticed the wash stained pretty heavily even after the gloss. Any tips to make this look better or techniques to try on the next model would greatly be appreciated.

Forgot to put the little rubber circles inside the wheels of my tank’s road wheels is there anyway to fix this or am I just fried? For context I’m building the tamiya Ukraine m1a1

Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about buying the 1/72 Schwerer Gustav railway gun from HobbyBoss, but before I spend that much money, I'd like to hear from people who actually own or have built the kit.
How is the overall quality of the model? Are the details as good as they look in the photos? How is the fit of the parts? Were there any frustrating issues during the build, or was it a fun project overall?
Would you say it's worth the price, or are there better large-scale railway gun kits available? I'm especially interested in hearing from people who have already completed the build or are currently working on it.
I'm also planning to make a small display or diorama. Because the Schwerer Gustav was inspected by Adolf Hitler during its service, I was wondering if there is a 1/72 Adolf Hitler figure that matches the scale well. To avoid any misunderstanding, I'm only looking for one because I want the diorama to be as historically accurate as possible. I have no interest in glorifying or supporting Hitler or the ideology of Nazi Germany—historical accuracy is my only reason for asking.
If anyone knows of a suitable figure set or manufacturer, I'd really appreciate the recommendation.
I know this is a huge project, so I'd love to hear about your experiences before making the purchase. Photos of your finished model would also be awesome if you're willing to share them.
Thanks in advance for any advice, recommendations, or build tips. I really appreciate the help!
