Tiger 1 first try at painting..pics up now

Post by Luckylefty42 »

Ok Gents..here is my first attempt of trying to paint and weather a tank..I must say starting it then looking on utube I have learnt a lot and will try to put what I've learnt into my next try..but here's my Rusty tiger 1
I didn't have any wash or pigments to add as I'm still trying to build up my supplies but I've now ordered some..so I just had to mix paints and see how they came out..Thanks for looking..any comments on how to improve would be great

Not sure you have the correct image link. When I click on the image, rather than getting an enlarged version, I get a download option from imageshack.

Left are you using decal bonder? Are they wet transfer decals like Peddinghaus style? Just curios so I asked. I think you did a super job with the paint scheme! Image

Yes there wet transfers..and no I have to buy the bonder to set them...I have some on order from eBay ..I put a large order in to get me going..had to wait to the start of the month but now I have most I need coming just have to order each month to keep up the Supplys but I'm really injoying spending time to paint them and watching videos on the best techniques on getting the right effect...
