Painting: Battlefront Oberst Rettemeier in Panzer IIIJ (GE886)

Today Oberst Rettemeier's Panzer IIIJ rolls off the production line.

For those 3 people following my blog, you will remember I reviewed this lovely character model here.

I have had lots of fun painting up this vehicle. Here are the steps I took (all Vajello except where noted):

Oops - some careless green on the hull.

1. Spray white undercoat.
2. Iraqi Sand base coat.
3. I used a variety of colours on the stowage - Green Gray for the sandbags, Khaki for the canvas, Luftwaffe Camo Green for the barrel, German Camo Brown for the boxes.
4. Rettemeier himself is Russian Uniform.
5. I then washed the whole tank with Army Painter Strong Tone.
6. I then went back over the Iraqi sand leaving the nooks and crannies.
7. The stowage and Rettemeier's uniform was then highlighted the relevant base colour with a touch of Iraqi sand.
8. The road wheels and bucket are black gray. 
9. I then gave the tracks and road wheels a light dry brush with Iraqi sand

So, my commander in chief is painted. Back to the rest of my panzer IIIs and IVs. I hope you enjoyed this article.
