I painted my E-100 tank. No weathering yet, just base colors, camo and decals.

I used Tamiya Dark Yellow as the base color, with highlights of a mix of Dark Yellow, White and Buff. The green is from Model Master 4798 Panzer Olivgrün 1943, It is a blueish medium green I find particularly good looking on Dark Yellow.

The tracks were simply painted black then added touches of Red Brown from Tamiya.

The red primer on the guns, on exposed parts of the sides and one of the skirts is Vallejo 70.985 Hull Red.

The skirts are not glued on yet (they were just applied temporarily to the tank with blue tack for the photos).

The fun will begin soon: weathering!!! Yeah!!!

Stay tuned!

Hi folks!

I want to show the monster tank I am currently working on: The german E-100.

This tank never saw actual combat and was only found as a partly assembled hull and plans. Nevertheless, it was supposed to be equipped with the Maus turret, wich was built (a prototype in fact), so we have a good idea of the overall look of the E-100.

The model I assembled is from Dragon. I was disappointed by the lack of details (no tools, inaccurate front side plates, no hooks for spare tracks etc. So I decided to improve the kit with some scratch built details.

I am almost ready to base coat this enormous beast. Enjoy the pics for now!
