sunray Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Hi here are a few photo's of my tanks if any one is interested. A Tiger, Walker Bulldog and Panther G. The Panther is still being painted. Any comments welcome. I know I have gone a bit mad on the chipping but I find it relaxing and it reminds me of my first car, a "T" reg Fiat!

nigelr32 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi Sunray, Welcome to Britmodeller. You really have done some nice work there on those Tanks. I particularly like the chipping and damage on the Heng Long Tiger 1.It looks like you have been following the Mig/AK DVD's? I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Nige You are spot on about the DVD's Nige. I first saw the Vallejo one which got me back into modelling but the memory's of my rusting battle damaged Fiat did help.

HOUSTON Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Sunday, That is an IMPECCABLE, IMMACULATE , well weathered , brilliantly painted tank .. It is absolutely FANTASTIC with those detailed touches that make this an OUTSTANDING build.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 WHOA... Superb work there, that is some seriously good weathering. Impressive battle damage, I like the dented rear bin on the Tiger, what a careles driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunray Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments. The Tiger and the Bulldog only cost around £30 each off ebay as the were second hand and the Panther actually belongs to my youngest son who's 11. They are full radio control when you buy them. I stripped then down completely and upgraded the electrics, gears, etc which isn't that hard even for me. I have got photos of the complete builds or upgrades depending how you look at it for the Tiger and Bulldog and I am still doing the Panther. If anyone whats them I will post them up. I have got another Tiger and Bulldog to do and also a Stug III and Panzer IV both of which are still in the boxes. I will get round to doing them but at the minute I am have fun rediscovering Airfix. If anyone wants any info please let me know? Ian Edited April 29, 2013 by sunray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Kinnell.....They're a bit good! Amazing weathering, the paint chipping on the Panther in particular is fantastic.....Very, very impressive indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrritableRabbit Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Blimey! This is the kind of stunning work and attention to detail that makes me scared to wander into some of these posts. I. Feel. So. Inadequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_M Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've been away for a while so only just seen this -this is really inspirational ! Sunray, in one of your replies, you'd said: "I have got photos of the complete builds or upgrades depending how you look at it for the Tiger and Bulldog and I am still doing the Panther. If anyone whats them I will post them up." -YES PLEASE! -I'd love to see how you've built-up that effect. Mig/AK DVDs are a new one on me, but I'll have to look them up too... I've been away from modelling for too long now -still looking to find the time to get back into it -but seeing stuff like this is really inspiring (like soo many of the huge talents who visit this site) thanks for posting these -you've brightened my day!

Mike Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Very nice work - I'd also love to see some of the progress pics, especially in the build phase, as I've got a couple to do myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Already commented on the Tiger, and yes the same comment applies for the M41 and the Panther. Especially like the M41, to me the most aesthetically pleasing tank ever... But then "beauty in the eye...." etc. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
