ok everyone, I finished my next step...

First thing was after the last fading coat was dry I brushed the model with turpenoid (a turpintine substitute) let it dry a bit.. it seemed to bring out the colors a bit from the fade but not all the way.

then I mixed raw umber artist oils with the turpinoid to make a very thin pin wash and apply to the model and let dry..

here are the results.. I havn't had much success with these washs but I think I am starting to get the technique..

and a couple of side views..

Beautiful Tiger, Delbert. The pin wash came out very nice.

Thanks for sharing

Just joined in, either a Sturm or a Ferdinand.
I'll have to check the stash to see which box is more easy to get my hands on ..

Hey guys great work going on here, Dilbert that little Tiger looks great amazing what you did with it in that small scale

Tamyia's Tiger I Afrika will be an OOB built. started it yesterday but no photo updates yet

A fast build[last weekend],the ugly Revell 1/35 Sturmtiger...Almost finish...Sturmtiger,Germany 1945...

Hi Folks!
Sorry for my very late respond, I had quite a busy time, so
I had not much time for Scale Modelling.
I'm very happy to see so much nice work!
I'll start my project at the weekend!
A sturmtiger.
(Dani very nicely done, your Sturmtiger )

Sal: What are you still doing over here? Get your butt back over to the Desert Fox campaign pronto!

Dani: Nice Sturmtiger, I really dig the whitewash!

I've signed up for your campaign Jeremy

hi everyone,
here's my contribution, the Porsche King Tiger, finished for my in-progress diorama Red Rain:






lots of great projects going on for this campaign and look forward to seeing all the final tigers. cheers, bd.

Dani, Thats 1 mean looking Sturmtiger I like it, was the zimm molded in or was that added

Bruce great job as always on that KT looking forward to seeing that in Urban Warfare

Very nice Sturmtiger, Dani. I remember building this kit. It is actually a quite enjoyable kit. Sal, the zimmerit is moulded in place on the kit.

Great King Tiger, Bruce. I really like the weathering on the running gear. Always a difficult thing to get right on white washed tanks. You did a great job on it.

thanks guys, this campaign is something i could see running once a year as there are so many options and interest in the tiger family. look forward to seeing all the enlistees' efforts come to fruition. cheers, bd.

Wonderfull Tiger!!

My first ever crack at Zimmerit. I used putty and a roller tool to make it.



My initial go was with Tamiya putty (grey in the photo below), but that was kind of hard to work with so I moved on to the Squadron white putty (seen below and above). That wasn't quite as temperamental. It doesn't look great now, but I'm hoping a coat of paint will make it passable.

NIce zimmerit,
I'm glad I've got it molded into the parts
I'll post some progress pics in a couple of hours.
I'm (also) busy with a 1:35 Sturmtiger from Revell.

well after a week the beast now has half its hull ammo load LOL just 40 odd shells to make.



the completed side.

the further into this thing you get the more you realise your not even half way there.cheers,
Graham

Hi guys, after saturday working in my tank, i finished the hull, and the tracks, i paited the tracks with flat black and dry brush with steel, i am not decided if paint with tricolor camo or invernal wash, i had trouble with the tracks because glued the idler before, but i tryed to fixed glueing the track to the wheels sorry i am rookie.

i have to sand the little squares.

Nice Work Graham!!

What's the scale Mamooth??

I can finally post my tank, build in progress, first layers of paint,
no decals ( I won't use them either), tracks are glued together (I made the photo with the sprue's earlier.)
The white looks very... hardish, or something, that's because of the flash.
So..... here are the photo's :
(I just see I missed a tiny spot at my drivings sprocket)

and the next one (and also, here I missed some spots at the weels, haven't seen it before, I'll fix it it tomorrow anyway.) :

And the sprue with the tracklinks :

Hi Bas the scale is 1/35, nice work with the sturmtiger.

Thanks Jose,
my first attempt to use an airbrush, bought one at the weekend

Zimmerit after a coat of paint.

Great beast that KT interior... stunning work !!!

Well I'll pick an AFV Sturmtiger if my LHS has the ATAK Zimm otherwise I'll go for a Tamyia KT that's waiting the last 5 or 6 years to get started.
