Hi all

I'm trying to build a Tamiya B1 Bis, but I'm departing from the standard kit camo suggestions. This is what I'm going for:-



and this is where I am:-



(the green and brown have come out very hard in the photo)

Has anyone got any reference for the upper hull/front camo in this scheme? A proper schematic would be great, then I can scale it up for my masks.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Andy-- can't help with your question, just wanted to say that your paint job is superb! How did you do it?
thanks

Thanks DJ

I measured the length of the side armour on the actual model, then the same distance on the artwork in my first post. Then I used :-

model measurement divided by picture measurement multiplied by 100

This gave me the percentage difference between the size of the picture and the model. Then I used a photocopier to increase the picture size by that percentage so that the picture was exactly the same size as the model. Then I just cut out masks from the paper photocopies using a scalpel and sprayed around them. I just held them in place, not ideal but it seemed to work ok provided I sprayed from a 90 degree angle.

I think I may have to use artistic licence with the rest if no one can help

Andy-- really nice workmanship. Try sending a personal message via your Armorama inbox to "Frenchy." The fine fellow is a genius when it comes to finding things
Good luck
