Mike Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Very nice. It's spurred me on to get out my almost finished Tortoise to finish her off before the loft fairies ruin her. I'll post up a few pics of the British Jagdtiger later 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 So a bit ore work done, I'm concentrating on the running gear for the moment. A quick rub with a sanding stick exposes some bright metal on the contact points, I'll do the same on the inside of the tracks where the wheels would polish up the track teeth. Pigments will come later for the tracks. More spare links test fitted Currently painting up the exposed steel tyres on all the road wheels....

Dads203 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Cheers Francis Whilst waiting for the paint to dry I started to map out some of scratches with a lighter colour of the base coat. this will get toned down as the weathering progresses. more later Dan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Moving onto the main gun, I'm waiting for the chipping fluid to dry on a couple of road wheels that I missed on the first pass. Cheers for looking Dan 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Cheers chap, Just been playing around with a brown wash, just on the front decks, might have to get the decals on soon so they can get weathered up at the same time.
