HL Tiger one project start

[foxtrotraptor]

Mr Raptor that really looks nice! The outline makes a big difference and once you tone it down with a wash it will really all come together I must admit I didn't think the outline would look the part on the early Tiger I but it works

Thankl you Carl, I wasnt sure how that outline would come out either, I think I sitll need to touch up some of the brown camo. I could use some help with that I dot know how to do a wash or what is even requiered to do it. Ive seen it refrenced alot. It suppose to make the paint look worn?

I really rather like this.

I'm afraid if you're anything like me once another idea comes up or something new is produced you are never really done.....

Sometimes these things just evolve slowly but surely and then again until finally finished

Still debating if I should add any of the German cross decals I have from my other tanks, Also I forgot I need to repaint one of my commander figures and put him in a Tan color for the uniform. so much to do

Looks really good!

I'll ask a question out of pure curiosity....so looking for a mini history lesson...

Did the Germans hand paint their numbers on the tank like that? (I really don't know.)

I don't think they did. I just don't have any decals to add yet. I think the ones in Africa used red numbers on the side so I would need something like that

No, they used Tamiya transfers because heng long ones weren't good enough for the Germans. . . . .

I think they may have sometimes, but also used stencils, and painted out the stencil gaps.

I'm loving the camo. Really looks great.

Take a look in the downloads section. There are some printable stencils, flags, maps and such. Might help you out. I've used printed flags on some of my tanks. Just print them on paper, then coat good with some clear flat, both sides. You can then use some thinned white glue and get them to drape over the surface.

Yeah, I have a past friend/acquaintance there, nice chap, Brad Bowman, met him a few times, I think the only gun he has is a speed trap one lol. Uses it when testing slot cars. He custom builds 64th scale tracks, like this one. . . .


So, how you getting on with your camo detailing?

Mick.

Missed this one lol. Just need to touch up the brown, Ill do it today
