Soeren Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi there, long time no progress. I added the AFV Club transparent turret optics, spare track links and gave it a wash of MIG Wash for Dark Yellow as filter and pinwash. Wheels are on and tracks primed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Here is my attempt for the lower part dirt. Same pigments as on the Chieftain, different fixer though and it will be thinner. And mostly to the running gear, only dusty on top, to not compromise the camoflage work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris B Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nearly done. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thank you very much Kris. Yes, it comes along and I happen to like to work on various projects and have various levels available to work on the kind of step I like to. And it suddenly hit me to add the spare tracks and do some dirt to the Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Tiger dirt left finished so far. Original tracks, bad, but I cant make up my mind now to buy the 20+ € tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Tiger progress, work on the dirt accumulations. Used my Pigment mixture fixed with 502 fixer. Working from the bottom up. Final work is then done when blending into the scene. It leaves some tide mark though that need some rework with dry pigments in the end. Have tha Tamiya tanker set on order as well as a Miniart vigniette. The picture frame is ready too And started work on the back plate of the big tank. The Academy late is in progress as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carius Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Excellent 231 camo and dirt By the way, the big one is amazing. Looking forward to see more progress... Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thank you Carius. Yes, it is slowly progressing. ATM I am working on some of the PE backplate mounts for the big tank and build the hull for the 135. When the hull is done, I will take a painting intermezzo for the 135 and do the 116 turret finally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Howdy folks, while browsing hte shops on the weekend, I found a good priced MiniArt set. It arraived yesterday. Quick fitting: juts a touch too wide, no problem as it will raised anyways, and a bit shorter. The latter is just welcome, so the whole scene will be pushed up a bit and the soil area right of the Tiger can be enlarged by a few cm to be able to pull the Tiger back from the walls, as if it came from the fields and be able to add some figures without it being to cramped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Made a slow progress during the week and nearly done the Tiger I late from Academy... With a big mistake... No, the single link track is for the Fehrmann Tiger. Edited February 23, 2018 by Soeren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 You know the feeling of having fired the airbrush for a few hours with the feeling to not have progressed at al? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Added the Jack mounts and made the Jack almost complete. Testfitting and tarted on the spare Track Hangers for the turret. I will take the Regular Taigen pieces, but try to add the locking hook on top, also the lower mounting piece is now correctly mounted in the higher position on the back side of the link not on the lower front side. As on the regular Taigen tanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soeren Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thank you Ripaman I carried it a bit further. Now with the initial wash and some oil fading. All the decals are on as well. I went for the Hussar Decal set. It is fantastic, veeeery thin carrier film wiht 100% coverage even on darker paint. It is this set https://www.dersockelshop.de/tiger-i-mi ... 16002.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripaman Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Very nice Soeren do like those decals wonder if they have some for a Churchill Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thank you Richard After having had peddinghaus decals for my Jagdpanther, and those didn't work well, I wanted to give decals a try. Stenciling the knight was a bit scary to me. That would have been a 3 part stencil, a lot of room for misalignment. :/ They offer a few other things. But the decal offering seems to.be limited to the Tigers mostly. Speaking of that, I have plenty of 1/16 scale Tiger decals left and would not mind selling them to interested people together with a copy of the camo scheme of the set.

Soeren Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) What is this PE all about? Is it propelled enthusiasm, to cut tiny brass crosses form a sheat, sanding them, folding them into cubes, filling them with a lead tin alloy, then place them on tiny brass squares and holding a hot rod of metal to them for half an hour? Yeah https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/35010055/sideskirtcubes.jpg Edited March 16, 2018 by Soeren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMax12 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think you have described soldering right to a tee. That's why I stick to using ca glue, sticky fingers or not. Soldering and me just don't talk to each other, just like me and zimmerit or me and figure painting. A man has to only do the things he might have a chance at doing and those 3 things aren't it. Take care, Lloyd BTW the big guy is coming along great, how you can switch back and forth between 1/16 and 1/35 amazes me, I like to work on the big stuff more now that I'm spoiled and the small stuff just ticks me off more and more every time I try it. Wish there was a way better selection of 1/16 and that the prices were equivalent to 1/35 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thanks Lloyd. We will see ho the Trumpeter Panther comes along. When it will be finally available. I also wonder why we only have the Hobby Boss Tiger at that scale atm. Maybe the Tamiya Tiger will be available in the future again. As of now a small update after returning form holidays. The Tiger is base coated now and I realized that a few things need be done before adding the camo and some further details. One thing was adding wing nuts to the read fenders. Spares from my ABER PE set. Now that I found my way to fold these. Also started on rusting the exhaust. First go on the big and few more steps of washes and paint on the small one. I didnt bother to make the transition neat as it will have the shields on, so only a tiny bit will be visible at all in the end. A bit to reddish as now, we will see, a more brownish greyish appearance would be nice. Some more washes or pigments to come. Then it was track time. Made the Takom Patton tracks and painted 3 sets of Tiger tracks. Also some work on the T55a track on one side, as per the manual, 92 links work well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soeren Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) A bit of Grey wash and Citadel Nuln Oil actually did the trick for me. And as expected, after adding the shield not much is visible anyways. Next up will be the camo and the remaining detail bits.
