Stunning work Paul! Love how you aged the decals!

So oil dot fading done tonight, got the paintwork nice and faded and blended more too, using 502 mig oils and mineral spirits its a very useful technique.

Looking excellent, Paul. Paint looks outstanding !!

Outstanding Tiger right there, very inspiring too!

Well, this is looking great Paul, a really high standard.

Absolutely first class, love all the effects you've added.

Paul, how do you manage the oil wash on the Zim, do you brush horizontally or top to bottom and would this leave lots of pigment in the Zim.
Sorry for the newbie question

Yes i just brush up and down allowing the wash to collect in the aim, i then run a cotton bud over the top to remove it from the very edges

That's looking sweet now mate top marks

Oh and some old bits of crap

That's looking fantastic.

That's the

Outstanding Paul. Really looking forward to the custom micon review.

Yayyyyyy my 9000 post

Cheers buddy, it'll be in this months news show

So last night i got the wheels and tracks part weathered and assembled on the tiger. Added some pigments to the underside and road wheels. Also added washes and pigments to the tracks. `The Friul metal tracks were first burnished with a burnishing fluid, the the same pigment used for the underside of the runing gear were pressed into the recesses of the tracks and the excess removed with a stiff brush, once dry i added a light coat of Ultimate Light Dirt wash to add tone and variation. Was up till 4am with the hangout yahoo's doing this

B E A utiful!
Awesome job Paul.


cheers

Great weathering and paint. Fantastic

And Grats on the 9000 posts

Lovely job Paul. Really looking like something special!

Looking fantastic Paul. The weathering looks awesome and that stuff works well on the tracks!

That looks ace Paul

9000 and 4 when I wrote this and it had only been 16 minutes later.
Damn buddy!
That tiger is one of the best that I've seen in ages. The late night hangout seems to have worked. It's certainly better than anything that I've done. It's superb work my friend.

Wow, over 9000 posts! Love the what you did with the tracks! Great Tiger Paul!

Paul you never disappoint with your builds, fabulous looking Tiger!

wow one dirty tiger you got there , looking very cool

Turned out amazing!

Cant wait for the final reveal of all these beasts

So my Tiger 1 sig is about complete. Added some dust effects, the lights and camera way over exaggerate them there not that pronounced to the eye. Figures next and a dio base I think. PS the fresh spilt oil not he engine deck is still wet, it'll look a lot better once dry

That looks ace mate

Nice spitfire!

Oh jeez Paul, what a beaut job mate.
Even the missus loved it.
That is a accolade.
John

Looks amazing mate! Everything about it ouzes quality

Yup.. Paul is always oozing something.

thats how you do it , top notch

Banned word.
Oozing
Not nice.
John

Made a start on the resin figure set tonight, only having three of the four figures in the tank. Nice quality figures they cleaned up and assembled nicely.Got some filling to do still then will start painting






I also removed some of the dust effect from the horizontal surfaces as i wanted 100% happy with it. Probably looks no different to you guys but it does to me

Really nice looking figures and the tank is fricking awesome mate.
It looks bold and beautiful and you have done a brilliant job.
John

Much better bud.
The detail on those figs is spectacular.

Well done Paul!the kit is superb!also the primer looks awesome!where can we find it in England?

Sweet looking Tiger. I like the camouflage paint scheme.
The figure set will compliment the tank nicely.
Keep having fun.
Bill.

Thanks a lot Paul!

No mate i got them elsewhere

Those figures do indeed look rather nice, will be stunning when painted I'm sure.

The Tiger looks very nice Paul
Good thing you have this build
It is perfect to copy the camo scheme and some details from for my build
The strange thing is that many of the part that you have used are on the same sprues that i have only the mantlet and rearplate are the standard parts instead of a command version
And the antenna's where not present in mine but i have a set for those
Did you use the kit antanna set or a after market kit for them

Nice work there Paul.... Nice work indeed !

Got the jaguar figures sorted for my Wittman tiger. Used the coloured Eduard photo etch slide ranks medals etc to add detail to them. Happy with them bar the faces which could have turned out better, I'm not happy with their faces so may redo them tomorrow.

They look spectacular bud. You could take some of that wash off the faces, or you could try a few passes with some very light dry brushing of some mid tone skin colours to clean up some of it. The uniforms are superb and the crew looks amazing in the hatches.

nice work so far Paul , really a great paint job ( as usual I must say ..)

Made a start on the Dio base, using a picture frame with some plywood glued to the back, then some cheap filler to sculpt the base how i wanted it



I scratch built a wooden water trough from matchsticks, and then stained it with oil paints.







This is a rough mock up of what i want



Once dry i primed in tamiya grey primer and then sprayed the mud and road in two tones of mr hobby paint. My fence posts were also glued in position, and stained with oil paints.


I then added some watered down pva were i wanted grass and then using a mix of different static grass i sprinkled it over and blew away the excess.

That's looking awesome buddy. I'll be blowing that static grass all over your bench did your head in haha. Mess!.... Ahhh mess!
I freaking love that water trough. That's some clever sh!t.

So a bit more work done the the dio base and apart form painting the mule and adding some dust effects to the tiger to tie it to the base its basically nearly finished.

I used a few different, types colours and lengths of static grass, used watered down pva and added them in a random pattern






Then i had to sort out the barb wire fence before sorting the longer grass. I used plus model barbed wire and damn this stuff use brutal, digging into my arms and hands when trying to put it in place



I added various longer lengths of grass to the fence posts around the trough and in random places, then i mixed a light brown sand colour using the tamiya dio effect paints and using a couple types of gravel grit added the road surface





I then added about 5 different tones of pigment to tie all the road together



The prebuilt trees where added as well as the trough which i added some vallejo water effects tinted slightly green.



And some fun with steve the mule

You've done awesome job so far paul, love the look so far mate. I do fear painting animals myself tho! Think it's well tricky to get them right.
