I thought I would take some 'Artistic' shots of this for this one And for size comparison here is Lady Jane next to the Whippet.................. See what I did there? 😉 And for a like or like comparison..... This was my second go at the black and white effect. The first didn't work as I tried to create various shades of grey. This turned out a bit blue using Vallejo Black and White Acrylics. I then went on the hunt for 'true' black and whites. It turns out there isn't one!! I purchased Windsor & Newton titanium white, Ivory and Mars Blacks in both acrylic and oils. In the end I used Vallejo Black and AK White which is closer to a Titanium white than the Vallejo. The process is to paint it pure white then layer the black gradually to create the shading rather than mix. A black wash as per usual for contrasts then AK white then black built up pigments for the weathering in the same way as the base hues. The only other ingredient was a rub over with AK Polished Steel Pigment for highlights particularly on the tracks. Build pics are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143851440@N06/albums/72157715501842432 As far as I know I cannot find any other example of this which I can't believe no one as tried it before?? As usual I have gone OTT on the weathering grrrrrr. A

Hi, I interrupted my B-47 for the Tamiya Mk IV (just had to have it NOW) and have two relating questions. I'd like to leave the one or the other hatch/door open - would the inside of these be white or the outside color of tank brown? Second: I will have some figures represented along the tank on a small vignette, but have no experience with WW I uniforms. Would Vallejo 70921 "British Uniform" be a good choice for infantry men? The paint looks plain Brown/Earth to me... I'd be grateful for any information about what color to use best. TIA Ingo

Here's my recently finished Tamiya Mk. IV. I put it on a rather simple base in a somewhat less dramatic environment, but as can be seen it has had it's share of mud and fighting. I also added some Figures by Master Box (Infantry and POW) and D-Day Miniatures (Tank Crew/Officer)
