Shalako Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi Crossy, Very interesting subject you have chosen to build. Yet, I was wondering, does Dragon give a full-interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Okay finally got the cam done. Forgot to take a picture of the tracks Daniel. I use tamiya white primer, then Tamiya paints for the cam the Dots were done using a Hole punch into post it notes to make masks. It looks like an xmas tree but hope the weathering will tone her down. I'm doing 653's 331. Any comments on how to improve please don't be scared to let me know Regards Crossy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz! Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 looking great so far and very interesting build/paint up, glad you changed out the barrel as the kit one in some of the dragon jagdtigers is too short' as it was originally measured in the recoil position. regards oz!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks guys, much appreciated For the dot's, I used a punch and die to make holes in several post it notes for a stencil. Then position em airbrushed, then moved to the next spot hit again with the airbrush repeat till i was happy. Hope that helps. For the tracks i've made em, will take photo's when i paint em and explain how i did it Regards Crossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Heres an up date. applied a gloss varnish using future waited 48hrs then added the decals and a archer dry transfer(first time using transfers took a couple of goes). Applied another future coat, again let dry for 48hrs. Painted tools in a basic coat. Wood objects I use an acrylic light brown, then applied burnt umber and burnt sienna and blend em with a dry flat brush(Tried this for the 1st time after seeing an article). You can also add different shades of brown and black to add more interest, I'll give it a crack in later steps. I picked up from an art store a acrylic varnish and give it a go through the airbrush using a bit of a retarder and water to thin. Worked really well and gives a dead flat finish. Just remember too let dry for 24hrs. Now too see if it can take enamels and oils. I also airbrushed the tracks(not the spares) in Tamyia flat earth. Started putting the figure together but the rim of the cap broke, so now waiting for a new head. Still got to fill the gaps in the arms Next up chips and filters. Any C&C's please feel free, as it'll help me improve Merry Xmas Regards Crossy Gloss coat before Matt varnish Matt Varnish I used Tracks The headless Crewie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
