I actually bought two Panzerjaeger 1s from BPM, I did one for DAK which I've already reported on. I wanted the other Panzerjaeger for early war stuff. At the same time I was painting this up, I also painted up a spare (post war) Mercedes Command Bus.
Here are the pair of them conquering the dining table.
Just like the other JgPz 1, this has very visible striations on the hull front despite being resin, although they aren't so visible on this one as the sand coloured one. It may be that the panzer grey hides them more.
As I usually do with panzer grey vehicles, I did loads and loads of mud around the wheels and running gear. Otherwise it was just overall grey and a light drybrush. There isn't much room inside so I just put one crewman in it.
This Mercedes Unimog is courtesy of Tims lightly used vehicle emporium. I guess it is Roco (maybe Roskopf?). It didn't need much doing to it, I just took it off its original base and touched up the paintwork. It already had jazzy white outlines on the mudguards so I highlighted those.
It also had what looks like a custom decal for the rear numberplate, so I left that. Otherwise it was just grey and a drybrush. Lots of raised detail which came out nicely.
A pair of useful additions to my ever expanding pile of stuff. I've got a scenario already which needs a Panzerjaeger 1, so I'll get that set up at some point.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the PzJgr I, have them in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 28mm! That 47mm gun might be your only hope in a sea of 37mm and short 75mm guns ;)
ReplyDeleteYour vehicles look great, can’t really see the striations, but wondering how they got there on a resin print, thought that was a PLA-only problem?

I don't know enough about 3D printing to understand how there are striations on a resin print, maybe it depends on the thickness of the layers or something? Search me. It is good enough for what I need at a very reasonable price, so fine. Compared to the horrible low ones of flash you can get on metal vehicles it is a big improvement.
DeleteGotcha. I have a number of resin prints and haven’t noticed any striations, but good grief, they charged top dollar for them, almost as much as a model kit in some cases!
