Prowess on the Ferdinand is slow and not even pic worthy, but tomorrow I think I'll have it ready for the weathering process
>>5755461Your main problem from what I can se from the photos is that the damage in the piece has destroyed part of the toolbox, not just fender (which would be easier to fix). So if you cut it down or repair the toolbox atleast is a matter of how good you are with putty and plasticard. On the bright side is not the right side with the fuel tanks, as some damage like yours there would only be for a destroyed/burned one. Also era blocks don't blow away half a fender, they leave a superficial mark on the paint or blow away the plastic sideskirt (which tend to fall off themselves quite often). If I were you I would chop it off and try to simulate a bit of the destroyed fender in a mine/IED related damage perhaps
>>5755633Looks really good. It depends on the type of projectile:
HE would leave a "splash" of chipped paint and slight burns, maybe cracked armor
AP non penetration curls the metal of the armor, so depending of the "age" of the hit it would look shinny steel with a slight burned halo of the energy transfer into heat. Older ones like rusted scratches. But overall little damage outside the deformation
HEAT leave a clean little hole and a burned "star" pattern around the impact area, depending of the warhead the star will look bigger or more compact
HESH is like the HE but with a totaly clean round flat impact peeling the paint looking shinny steel/black
Pic related of different types of shells on a tiger, shame is on black and white. Also the look I've described is based on my research of modern ammo (only color pics I can find easily of this subject ) and other people models
Also here's a quick source, as each impact is unique you can paint it however you like as is your model
