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

and if your second attempt is better than the first, im going to have to ban you, before you make my tanks look crappy

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

thanks lads for your comments did a lot of research on how to do it, yeah it was the sponge effect on the rust seemed the simplest idea, thank for the link xrad for bagging i think ill give that a try i was scratching my head about the tracks

im sure yours will be just as good gerwyn
