I recently painted this set of four miniatures in 1/35 scale provided by miniart.
Panzer Crew France 1944 Scale 1/35 MiniArt (35364).
Great miniatures and poses and honestly I really appreciate the final result.
Camouflage design used for painting.
Here you can see the video I posted about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKBowgfWUc0&t=4s
here you can see the miniatures.
Great kit, I plan to include it in a diorama with other miniatures.
I hope you enjoyed my work.

Reminiscent of this colorized image of a PzIV crew in the Eastern Front.
Though these guys are a bit worse for wear.

Thank you very much for the advice. this photo has an excellent color reconstruction. The effect I want to give to my miniatures is exactly what you see in the photo, a mix between faded and dirty. The AK 015 is excellent for this type of effect.
I did not dirtier these miniatures too much because otherwise all the camouflage would have been erased and maybe those who were most at risk of getting dirty were the infantry soldiers rather than the tank drivers.
But in any case the photo you inserted remains an excellent reference.

This photo has appeared elsewhere on here, it’s becoming quite well known. They are an SS crew, from “Das Reich”, 6/SSPzR2. The three on the left are wearing the reversible Camouflaged Panzer coverall in “Oak Leaf” pattern. The other two are wearing standard Rush Green drill denims. I expect crewing a German panzer in WW2 was a pretty mucky business, dust, oil and general grime from combat. Note the hairstyles!

Thanks for your advice. I will insert these miniatures together with others in a large diorama with two houses and a German panzer. I am studying how to make the rubble, since it is the first time I do it, so as to obtain a good diorama.
Then during the construction I will touch up some miniatures by dirtying them a bit more with various dust and oil effects of the AK.
