Re: Pz.Kpfw. IV F2(G)
Looking good Stefan. The gelb camo lightens the dark grey colour nicely so details and depth are visible. Smart. There appears to be a dark shadow under the tracks like a gap. Try pushing some sandy pastels under them to remove this as it looks lkike its floating a bit. Maybe a photo illusion?

Re: Pz.Kpfw. IV F2(G)
Thanks, Frank. You´re right about that gap, even though ist not that apparent in real life. The model is quite small and details like that becomes sorta magnified. However, I will try to improve the base and the way the model sits.

Re: Pz.Kpfw. IV F2(G)
Looks so much better. In a competition, this wouldn´t stand a chance the way it was ... plus its a relatvely easy fix. It would have been a sin to leave it.
This is neither right nor wrong .... but something I always consider when placing a model on a base. A great tip Dennis Andersson gave me a few years ago was to have light coloured ground work when you have a dark model colour, and dark ground work when it is a light coloured model .... always have a contrast. This also makes your model stand out more. When sitting on a table full with models, you want your model to attract the viewers (and judges) eyes, and not blend in obscurity. Those little bits of grass you added look good .... I would suggest adding a little more on all sides for this same reason.

Re: Pz.Kpfw. IV F2(G)
You´re right about the base, Frank. All elements have to come together to make it look right. I don´t compete so it´s no big deal if it doesn´t attract judges
Seriously, I want to improve my modeling and I´m thankful for all input & criticism.
