Could be he does not want the "cock-fest" with his mates and the story of how he let you catch the "one that got away" turning it into the proverbial diamond in a goats ass
Im real keen to know about the actual application of the charging knight emblem. Looks spot on.

Re: 505th King Tiger.
It's a 3 piece stencil from rctanksde, 1st goes the black then white then what ever color you want for the horse and the Knights plume on his helmet. I had flat red already so that's what I used. The numbers and the little white "s" in the box are also stencils. Oh and they were all air brushed on.

Re: 505th King Tiger.
Got any pics of them mate ?
How did you go lining each one up ?
The final effect is great, but how much did you put in to get it right ?
Looks easy- sure it wasn't.

It's looking good! The hard part about weathering is that decision when to stop!

Re: 505th King Tiger.
Herman, I'll see if I still have them when I get home, if I do I'll post up some pics.
Bill, thank you very much! I think the weathering is about done. I have to hit those couple bolts that Keiser pointed out but beyond that I think the outside of this one is done.

Re: 505th King Tiger.
Be careful with acrylic fixing agents and pigments, one knock and it can take great chunks off with the paint underneath, if the primer itself is a little weak. Personally I've moved to using turps as a fixing agent as it's removable if needed but stands up to contact with water well enough. I also tried using Mig and AK earth effects as a fixer which worked really nicely.

Re: 505th King Tiger.
I think the weathering is pretty much done, I don't want to over do it just for the sake of saying I did blah blah blah blah blah on the weathering. I think it looks damn good the way it is and my friend at work Joe, who is seriously into tanks btw, had to do a triple take on the pics I showed him he thought it was pics of a real King Tiger! Can't get much more of a compliment then that IMHO.
I may and I stress MAY try a little chalk dust on the top facing areas to see if I can get any high lights to pop out like on the road wheels but if not my feelings won't be hurt one bit.

Re: 505th King Tiger.
Keiser, there are Sooooooooooo many different weathering techniques I probably won't be able to use them all if I built a fleet of tanks!
