MerkalA Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hi guys! Please find my first build that I just recently finished. It is Tamiya 1/35 Pz. II Ausf. F Firstly please note that the decals are from this set but not correct to the painting. I failed at first attempt to paint the tank and lost the decals I wanted to use initially. I'll greatly appreciate for a feedback on what I did wrong/could improve. Paints I used are Tamiya for airbrushing and Vallejo Model Color for details. Mud is just a paint and bicarbonate of soda with a bit of water. For sealing I have used Vallejo Matt Acrylic Varnish and Alclad Aqua Gloss (ALC-600). When used Vallejo Matt I found that model became much brighter than it was. I'm not sure if current weather in London affected it or if it's norm. Enjoy and comment! Thank you! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 For the first attempt the model looks good. If you airbrushing you can try to do some highlights next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Good first attempt, but a few more photos would have been good. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerkalA Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thanks guys. Bullbasket would you be able to suggest if I should take any particular shots or just in general many photos from different angles? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Probably four or five showing front, rear and two sides and depending on how good your camera is, some close ups. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofjim Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Well Merk... I wish my first model had turned out as nice as that . You are definitely heading in the right direction. Don't be afraid to post more photos we like a good shufty . As suggested try adding some highlights next time but other than that. Top notch for a first build sir . Jim.

Jim Wasley Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Well done,only wish I was as good as you with my first model,all be it to many years ago,Great first attempt.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 More photos! That top shot looks very nice! Need front, back, both sides, and maybe a quarter on. Panzer grey, like all single colour schemes, can come out bland, but you have done a great job on your Panzer II to vary the tones. But, need more pics!

MerkalA Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Guys thank you for your feedback! Really appreciate it. To those who are asking for more pictures. It is a link to Instagram so it only shows the first picture from the album. If you go to the right edge of pic you should get a button so you can swipe through the other pictures. There should be both sides, front and back. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You need to use a photo hosting site. Have a look in FAQ's for some info. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
