Lovely DAK armour here Steve, The weathering is excellent, I'm most impressed because it's an art I've yet to master. They definitely have the grubby, worn look of vehicles that have been battling away in the desert for some time, and I like the wear through to the red primer on the Tiger. 
Five tanks counting the wreck for a neat 30 points.

    1. Nice tanks. Too heavy and powerful for my personal taste, but nice none the less.

  4. Terrific job on weathering these panzers. I especially like the grey peeking through where the markings are. Very nice.

  9. Nice to see the contrast between the two types of tanks. Weathering exceptional as always.
    The wreck is lovely, it already looks like the sand of the desert is reclaiming it.

  11. This Blitz is only missing some stukkas and mech infantry! Lots of great details in the weathering and that wreck is very outstanding too!
