Hell o every one
This is my WIP on a german light tank destroyer - the Jagdpanzer 38(t), later known as Hetzer.

Wow. Nice job. Like the weld detail. The more I stare at it the more I see that is so well done.

[dawestsides]

Wow this is a nice start!
Those welding joints could be smoothed a little bit more to blend better.

Quite a nice introduction digitalillusion :) You did a really good job on the Hetzer so far :)

OK, digitalillusion--I'm officially impressed. A very interesting presentation of this little machine. Sure had a low silhouette, didn't it? Looking forward to more. Best--Pharl

Nice progress :) I think the thinner geometry like the MG shield and side panels need less bumpmap, they are not cast metal but sheets, so they have less surface structure.

[digitalillusion]

Thx m8.
Sure!
I'm working on a scene which I called Festung Breslau, and the Hetzer will be present on a Kaiser Brücke.
But I don't know whether they were present during WWII on the City.

Hello
Nice idea, but think a Tankhunter is an Ambushtank
no Agressortank.
The Hetzer ist very great Job
and make it so, i think it looks great.
Here ist a Image from the Kaiserbridge Breslau 1945
i hope it help you.

The Hetzer will be present on the right side of this photo.
But it will be made all of stuff on 3d. Not a photo manipulations.
BTW I cross the bridge every day :)
