John no work the last 2 weeks so it's build build build
Wheels are dry fit, base coat is what I always use for Panzer Gray rattle can Rustolieum primer

Here is a little more progress



wheels are still dry fit more to go

This is the Tamiya 1/35 88 built as the AT version in a worn winter pattern. " TARGET="_blank">[/url]

Didn't worry much about capturing build pics since it was pretty straightforward and simple. It's an older kit with a lot of flash and some poor fitting parts, but noting a little knife and putty couldn't fix.

so things were a little vivid after the basepainting, but now after filters (brown for Dk yellow and grey for winter cammo on the engine deck and turret) things are toned quite a bit down.


there is still a little water mark staining from the wash that has to cure a bit before I can 'stump' (who knew this was an art term.. not me!) it back with a clean brush and some thinner.

It's hard to see the change in the turret with the grey filter (no washes yet) but the top has not had any filter and hte sides have


I'm really happy with the filter/wash effects on the skirts so far.


more tomorrow.

My colors and hairspray. Will probably not use this hairspray next time. I could use a worse version that won't bond as well.

After the white went on, it was time to get crazy with the tooth pick.

Next up was some rust from Rustall.

Finally a wet brush in the mud of Tamiya weathering set A and using an air brush to get the splatter. According to the sticker on the back, this stuff gives you cancer, but only if your I California, looks like ill be fine.

One day when I get into doing dioramas this will probably be my first subject.

sorry for the E-50 post, was supposed to be in paper panzers.
Finishing that one before getting back to the Schuetnor.

Admin types, the edit period is over. Can it be deleted? Or moved?

Mike

Robert nice looking 88 I like your weathering
My build is complete, tracks and marking are on still needs some more touch up and work on the commander before I start the weathering

Well guys I think Im gonna call this 1 finished for now



I didn't want to to add to much weathering because I want to add it to a diorama with a Pz III that I will build for the the Panzer returns campaign

comments are always welcome

Sal: Excellent job, on the tiger! Something you may want to note is, the panzer "III" looks more like a panzer IV.

Hi everyone
Some great tigers here! About to start mine, with a few extra headaches from our friend Aber The echelon decal set has a great battle worn tiger that I will try to emulate.

Making slow headway with all the tiny PE. I also added a Panzer Art barrel which looks great.

Working away at my Tiger 1 once again. Most of the fiddly bits attached, and about to start weathering the beast...







Still a ways to go before I call this one finished!

Here are my start up photos.
I thought I would do something a little different.

Howdy Y'all:
Good work everyone.
@Sal-Can't wait to see that diorama. I am wondering if I have the patience to do it in 1/48 scale. It looks like a good idea.
Take care,
Don "Lakota"

Here are my in process photos next up the paint booth.

I'll be building the 88mm Krupp Steyr Waffentrager

The Stalin's Armour campaign rekindled my passion for 1/72 armour - I'd forgotten how quick and easy they can be to build. So I'm in with this - the Revell 1/72 King Tiger



Started on Monday and its absolutely flown together

Monday - construction
Tuesday - primer
Wednesday - sprayed Dark Yellow base coat
Thursday - sprayed Red Brown camo



Now comes the only part I'm not looking forward too, painting the rubber rims on 36 road wheels

All the PE is finished at last - almost gave up a couple of times
Now at last for some primer and painting!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't be able to make much more progress, until I have full motion in my right hand. I pulled a muscle a little over a week ago. Thought it would heal on its own. I can't even type, without severe pain. But, I was able to get some primer on the turret, as well as a layer of white. I'll have a go at the base coat, in a couple of days.

@Matt - I hope your hand gets better fast. I know from previous experience its best to rest it out fully.

I have put on the base yellow modulation using the AK set. Next I will be coating with AK chipping fluid and then the green camo.
