It's a cold morning on the Eastern front. Tiger 1 advancing.

Check out my new arrival. Weathering is 85% done.

Comment freely. Opinions, critique, etc.

Thx for looking.

Really nice start!

One tip, lose one of the red numbers, they normally only had two or three numbers

[MrChef]

I agree with Adam. Good lookin start.

Like we said in the other post, lets see what happens with the baking soda.

LSSAH ran 4 numbers. Very early Tiger I's also ran 1 or 2 numbers just not those numbers painted like that. I don't know why HL provides those numbers-

Keep it up.

Don't blame HL.
Their # was bland.
I wanted a # with more.
Used a cricket machine.
In hindsight, probably an over-reach.

I'll do some research.

Thank you.

[michaelwhittmann]

Fixed. I'm still not 100% happy but 100% happiness is a high bar.

That is an interesting camouflage scheme. It reminds me of the scheme that came some years ago on one of Torro/Taigen's winter camouflaged Tiger Is, but your version is a bit more toned down and credible. You say that you "used a cricket machine." I thought those only worked with pre-determined patterns. Do you mean that one can design ones own stencils? Now that would be useful.

[michaelwhittmann]

The Cricut machine has a large variety of fonts that you can explore. You can alter the size of your font, the space between each letter or number. You could make a stencil or print the numbers. Very versatile little gadget with much potential in the hobby world.

I will need to go to a craft store again to check on the variety of Cricut machines. I was hoping Cricut might even make a machine that could do stencils off of images. Dream on! Of course, a computer can give one all the typestyles, but cutting them out would be impossible. Now Rad somehow performs wizardry.
