Re: HL Tiger one project start
Thank you, its my first go, I guess it could have been worse. I think now ill start adding some dirt smears and some oil around the engine compartmnent . I was going to add some left over decals from my other tanks but I felt that the color of the decals would clash with the lighter shades of my desert pattern.Son of a gun-ner wrote:Hope not
Yes, I do like your camo pattern DD

Re: HL Tiger one project start
Mr Raptor I really like the subject matter as I'm a big Tiger I fan (nowhere near as big as Paul Mr Tiggr) You're having fun with it and that's the most important part. If you look on the forum you will see areas where you can learn about applying washes and chipping. I suggest you try them out with this model.
Mr Maxmekker on The forum has some very nice and informative YouTube videos that I've used to do basic chipping and weathering. It's actually easier than it sounds and makes a huge difference. ( He might make it look much easier than it is)

Re: HL Tiger one project start
Oh yeah I'm having fun. I'm gonna do some more tonight after work. I'll probably remove my crappy afrika corp emblem. I'll just put a othe 501 instead

Re: HL Tiger one project start
what would be the best way to remove it without messing up he coat under it? Its testors acrylic paint. Warm water and a paintbrush?

Re: HL Tiger one project start
I agree I just noticed the dinosaur peaking over the top of the palm tree.... It is kinda fitting in a strange way.Son of a gun-ner wrote:I liked it cos its got a dinosaur head at the top, it's like a Rex looking over a palm tree, rather fitting I thought, I thought you did it on purpose lol.foxtrotraptor wrote:I'll probably remove my crappy afrika corp emblem.

Like a super elite paramilitary division of the waffen that's gone prehistoric
Maybe just paint over it and add some nice numeric design for the realism. Or keep it and detail it up a bit and add some color and have a good time with it. Kinda enhance the Dino on the tree top......
