Steve Hustad
Eden Prairie, Minnesota
Photo-etched metal parts modify Steve’s Revell 1/72 scale PzKpfw IV Ausf. H. He scratchbuilt hatches, detailed with plastic bits and miscellaneous leftover photo-etched metal, and replaced the kit’s cannon with a turned aluminum barrel and brass muzzle break from Armorscale. Steve placed Prieser World War II German civilian figures on groundwork made with Verlinden static grass and Celluclay papier-mâché over foam to model a destroyed tank from the 1st SS Panzer Division after the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944.
