Finished: Takom Panzer III Ausf. N
This model was started on November 30 of last year as a speed build test. Construction finished December 5. Primary painting finished December 11. Then it sat in the box two months. Decals were sealed February 16. Then is sat in the box for 4 months. Now it is finished. 
Accuracy issues aside, this is a fun and easy model to build. Final assembly is quick and painless. Link and length tracks are hassle free and look good.
Unfortunately, my painting skills and inherent artistic talent are just not sufficient to make a dark gray tank look vaguely interesting. At least a dozen hours were spent pushing oil paint around, trying to add contrast and create realistic mud splatters. Dropping a big glop of burnt sienna on the paint palette was a mistake. The finished model looks like a boring, gray brick. 
There is hope. This model is essentially in the state a good effects painter starts with. If I can master some additional skills, I can pull this model back into the shop and keep going.

Comparing my previous three models, it is interesting how one is shiny, one is in the middle, and one is flat, even though all three went through the exact same painting process and received the exact same flat coat.
