my first attempt

Post by lancerjay »

hi all this is my first attempt at painting and modelling i know its not historically accurate but it was just my first go as the tiger was given to me by my mate who had stood on it once as you can see by the front ( no mg)
ive upgraded to metal gear box and metal tracks as well as rx18 board
i think it looks ok for my first one next is a panther i have

Very good painting and weathering, it could easily pass for a pro paint job :thumbup: and if your second attempt is better than the first, im going to have to ban you, before you make my tanks look crappy :haha: :haha:

Very Nice Work!! Agree with 'firefly' too good too fast always leads to trouble! :D

sponge effect for the rust distrubution??

See my bagging trick for the metal tracks (if so inclined)

about half way down for 'bagging' all the way down for a look at the final product
