I realized at Historicon that I had not posted any photos of my Jagdpanther for my Bolt Action German force. I am enormously proud to have won 1st place for historical vehicle. Historicon has opened up a whole new style of game play to me, in addition to painting challenges. Richard Rush, from our gaming group as well, took home two well deserved 1st place medals. His historical single miniature is simply outstanding. I have a few zillion part ww2 scale models that might actually get painted for the next HGMS event.
Ok, back to Krieg. (don't they have a striking resemblance to German Heer?)
Wonderful job John. I've always been a massive fan of your vehicles. They are just really inspiring for us still learning the intricate nature of proper weathering!
ReplyDeleteThis is also one of my fav german tanks, so helps :)
You are very kind Greg. I also like the Stug, but this is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I can't totally get on board with the extreme panel highlighting (on the side armor), but I really love looking at this tank. plus you can't really argue with 1st place, lol!
ReplyDeleteIt also looks like you're a lot more controlled with your paint-chipping. Very nice.
Lovely work and congratulations on the prize

Thank you! If you'd like to see better photos it might make it into war games illustrated. I still struggle with photography.
DeleteIt will definitely make it into Wargames Illustrated. It's already been posted to their site, and will be in an issue in a couple of months.
DeleteFully deserved ... well done on your award. This is a fantastic piece.
ReplyDeleteThere was really no contest here; it was easily the best looking tank there, and (IMO) was the best looking model.
ReplyDeleteTGS CRUSHING IT AT HISTORICON
Go team TGS! Your first place historical figure is a work of art. I thought it was a shoe in at NOVA last year.
DeleteI was disappointed with its non-showing, but that just goes to show how subjective these contests can be.
