Hi there here's my update from the last few days:

Primed with Revell 09 Anthracite:



Then came Tamiya XF62 Olive Drab:



After that came a coat of Humbrol Matt Cote, after this had dried it got hairsprayed, and then winter camo stripes with Tamiya XF2:



Then 2 hours ago the beatin´up started:










More to follow shortly........





Paul

Nice camo and salt technique Paul

Nice job Paul !
You're missing a few links there.
I'm on track mode these days, I tend to look at suspensions and track pads a lot

More updates.The camo pattern is on,although no filters,fading,or weathering have been applied.The detail painting of tools and cables is completed.One run of Magic Tracks has been applied and is drying while the other awaits some glue.It was a busy month,any bench time was appreciated.











These tracks were much nicer to handle the Panzer II and III tracks

Very nice!

Paul, Nice Leo 1. And nice choice for the camo. The winter scheme looks really nice.

Anthony, John and Alex thanks lads

Anthony your KT is looking real cool now with camo in place. And such a clean work bench, man I wish I could keep mine like that





Paul

I have to agree with Paul there..
Great job with that workbench Anthony !!!
The camo colours are perfect !

Paul and John,thanks for the compliments,yea ,I just can't work in clutter,maybe a little fanatical

Here is my start up photos of the M-18 Hellcat



The barrel is poor, I have not found a replacement barrel. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks,
Tom

Hi there, here is a small update the running gear is on and some more dirt added too....






More tomorrow........



Paul

Happy Easter to you all.

My entry is:

Looking good there Anthony and Paul
I have decided to go with a King Tiger here

I found that Tamiya makes a zimm kit for this so I need to pick that up soon and hopefully construction will start soon as well

PickleHead, a nice choice there That is the Academy kit or not, is that the one it with the interior?

Sal my friend, how did I know you'd go for another Tiger ?
Are you going to add zimmerit, and if yes how ya gonna do it?


Here is my update, time for some serious camo:













Hessian strips, the torture has started:


















Paul

Netting is going to look awesome Paul

John,
That is exactly what I was looking for. I had tried to search the internet for a barrel like this, but found nothing. Spruebrothers has the barrel and it will soon be mine and on the model.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Moving along,I attached the Magic Tracks and fenders,and added the Ambush Scheme.I don't know,my wife says it looks like it got the measles.I guess an overspray,filters and washes will blend it and tone it down a bit.I had some leftover Fruils to use for the spares

Looks pretty bad ass to me.

Yes it is the one with the interior,,,trying to figure out how to do it so it shows some of it off.

And that is some serious camo indeed.

Stephen

Marc and Pricklehead, thanks indeed I'm sure the weathering will tone it down

Uploaded my images to gallery.

entering a little late but well if theres a tiger I initial, and mid versons why not build a late version and have the complete tiger family. So, I should have some fun with this and possibly attempt to step outside of my comfort zone and scratch build the interior of the turret. ( this will be one of my first major scratch builds.)



and i got some progress on the hull ( not sure it its worth it to scratch build the parts for the cooling fans under the engine deck.)

Paul That Camo netting is looking real good as for my Zimm I found that Tamiya makes a Zimm kit for this so I need to pick that up soon
Oh and buy the way I still havent started it yet

Anthony thanks mate , and your camo looks fine to me

Stephen thanks also . If have just had a look at my Tiger which I built about 15 years ago. The engine decks and hull top
have an excellent fit that requires no glue at all. Which makes it all removeable, and the fit is so good that it won't just fall apart either.

Tommy I am looking forward to seeing your scratched turret interior


Sal thanks bro, and don't rush this one. There is plenty of time, why not have a go homemade zimmerit?
You could go putty or soldering iron
It isn't that frustrating or time consuming, just give it a shot on an old kit first.


Some more tassle madness or hessian hell or whatever you wish to call it









maybe one more layer on the hull if I still sane, and then onto the turret.






Paul
