Jagdtiger

[burnie43]

Here is my Tamiya Jagdtiger build that's just been finished...
It's meant to represent a trophy of war somewhere in the Rhine at the end....!!
hope you enjoy it


not much to say about the build...typical Tamiya




I added a turned barrel and after market mesh screens...you can see from this that I made a hash of the tracks...just couldn't get them sorted..!




getting some colour down and starting the weathering with streaks and fades at this stage..




some oil paint rendering after the camo is on.. ( forgot to photograph that bit ! )



The story ...









I am missing the building of the base and figures......just can't find the pics...AGAIN !
thanks for looking

Love this. The base color, camo pattern and weathering are superb. It just looks 'right'. Well done.

[digger303]

love the pic with the woods in back ground...nicely done.

[OneSmallStep1966]

A beautiful example of great painting and weathering coupled with a nice diorama that really tells a story. Well done

great work

[burnie43]

thanks guys,
the woods in the background was not planned but in the future....well i'm gonna use them
I really do enjoy the painting more than the building and oil paint rendering, although time consuming just gives a fantastic look...I went with the Mig Ammo Dunkelgelb colours for the base and Tamiya for the camo green ( shoulda put that in my post with the pics )I don't fully get the modulation thing so I just use the colours to suit my style and I really do like the look although I find that the Ammo paints take me longer to do....
Thanks again guys

That thing was a MONSTER, and you brought it to life. Very nice burnie43. You've got me wanting to start my friulmodel tracks for my dragon early Porsche kit, Ugh. Lol. Again just an outstanding build.

Fantastic work. Really love the paint job and the diorama. It tells such a cool story.

I've got exactly the same kit on go, complete with the metal barrel. If I can get anywhere near this quality I'll be well pleased.

This is really a great build. That beast must have made a great piece of booty. The paint job is superb, my friend.

Very nice indeed! I've got the same kit semi-painted on my shelf, i lost it with the link and length tracks so ive got to get some friuls

Thanks but I'm sure you'll do a great job...as long as it pleases you then that's what matters...taking this pic in daylight really helped show off the natural colours i must say..
cheers

that color looks so different. So it is basically dark yellow and olive green but on some pics it is white and gray.

JT is one of those awesome machines that take your breath away when you see one. So raw. Very cool to see it modelled.

It's Mig Ammo Dunkelgelb.....can't remember what 3/4 shades I used ( it's their modulation set ) and Tamiya Olive Green., I agree , it does look greyish on some pics...I really like the look though
