A little project in preparation for the Operation Martlet campaign for Chain of Command. Found a use for a spare PzIV for a slightly indulgent terrain project that will work well for the campaign. Full details of the build in a blog post here Dug-in PzIVH It started with cutting a part painted model in half:
The rest was fairly obvious and I was really pleased with the end result:

Excellent modelling. I cannot help wondering if it might have been easier to build up the 'entrenchment' than cut a model in half. The latter action would certainly make me think twice! |

Ah well, the blog post explains the thinking and reasons behind it. Also one of the joys of gaming in 20mm, tanks are inexpensive and plentiful. |

Now you just need to use the bottom half of the tank to do a hull 'up' model!! |

Roger that. RTFL on my part. |

I think the idea of sawing off the bottom half was brilliant for hull down, emplaced. I suspect it would never have occurred to me, maybe because just building up the rampart is so much easier, but totally negates the whole concept. Yep, now find a use for the bottom half! |

That's a lovely model and your blog is excellent. There are some really good ideas in your step by step tutorial. Thanks for posting! |
