Looking great. Sorry for not posting any comments. I know sometimes you begin to wonder if any body is paying any attention. After seeing your build and some of the other recent Panzer III builds it makes me wish I had one.

"Despite the lack of interest that it has had..", you are kidding. I'm following
your build, with interest and I am very impressed. The number of posts is not
an indication for interest.

The number of post does not indicate anything: you're right Christian;
but at least see if someone answers, would please everyone!
No answer do not know how to interpret it!
Thank you very much for your words.

You're absolutely right, John ... in fact I'm thinking of getting another too, perhaps without tower ... to make something different!

Goodmorning everyone.
Here we are again.
To enrich my Panzer III I tried to make the barbed wire in 1/6 scale.
I took two cables of wire 0.45 mm in diameter and I twisted between them. Then I worked with a third wire of turns around the central cable.
The coils are distanzate of about 15 / 18mm.
Once you cut the excesses here are ready barbed wire.
Some browning and a bit of aging and you're done!
Now for the back of the tank. I wanted to add the load, as seen in many historical photos: I started off well with a towel appropriately colored and aged, on which I have stayed a crate ammunition.
Everything was set with a rope and then I positioned and also fixed the wire:
On the back of the can holder I have added a couple of helmets, especially those, beautiful, made by Lee Sellars / Newthorpemodels:
Also added the pins for the tracks on the spare wheels, as well as the real tank; this is the final effect:
Finally, on the left side of the can holder, I put a skein of rope and a further water bottle:
Now for the cleaning of the gun. Aged the cleaning rod for Panzer:
The whole is then been fixed on the front of the tank, since the Panzer III Ausf. L did not have a port-brushed:
Finally, again by Lee Sellars, I have bought some oil cans. These were finished, painted and aged, and then be positioned as an additional load:
A final good luck and the tank can be considered practically finished, although we know that a model is never done!
Well, it's all for now!
Stay tuned for photos outdoors, out by the workshop!
Thank you all!

Hy Lacopo,
the barbed wire is fantastic and the other arrangements are looking very good and
real.

That's a very clever idea for creating the barbed wire
Love all the other details too.
