Bob Smyntek, Fayetteville, North Carolina

Bob made a bunch of improvements to Dragon's 1/35 scale Sturminfanteriegeschutz 33B, including damaging the front fenders, repositioning the rear fenders, and adding mud guards, a jack block, and spare tracks. After spraying the model with Floquil black primer, he airbrushed the dunkelgelb base coat and hand-painted the green squiggles. Artist's oil pinwashes emphasize shadows and recesses, and AK Interactive pigments add layers of dirt and dust.
