Description: The model is a late-war German schwerer Wehrmachtschlepper. Painted with Vallejo. Weathering with MIG filters, washes, pigments and oil paint from 502 Abteilung.

Judge 1: I can't tell you too much about this model. Very nice, very well done. You can imporve your skills using some dinamic effects, like using different yellows on different parts, adding more and deeper shadows, and also highlights, making monotone surfaces dinamic. Also on the wood you can use these techniques, painting different colored wood parts, and things like these.
Judge 2: I have to agree with the other judge this is a very nice model. Trying to make a single toned paint scheme interesting is always a hard thing to do and making use of the newer and more advanced techniques such as colour modulation certainly helps. I can also suggest running a graphite pencil over the track cleats as they are usually very shiny from being in constant contact with the ground. I'm unsure as to what the build up on the bonnet is supposed to represent and the multi colour chips although well done are a bit over scale. I really like the logical build up of dust and dirt on the wheels, running gear and rear of the vehicle, overall you've done a good job.
Judge 3: The model is crying out to have something to carry on the back, just anything! also some marking at lest a pair of number plates? Good weathering & chipping also the dust on the tyre treads. The tracks on the left need to have more of a bow between the rear idler & the last wheel.
