CymroPenguin Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hello everybody!!! Now, this is my third tank I've ever done, and, being a very young modeller (not telling shush shush) the standard obviously isn't AMAZING like some of the beautifully constructed kits various other people on the forum have made. Enough of that, here's what I built; Make: Forces Of Valor Scale: 1/72 Model: German Tiger I (WW2 Obviously) Other Specs: 504th Schwere Heeres Panzer Abteilung Date: Spring 1943, Tunisia. The build was really easy for me, perfect. The painting - Well the kit came with no decals so I just painted normally + heavily weathered with some recently purchased paints as I've just got into modelling - still a beginner + can't really name anything I'm good at but I still like it Yeah so here: On la bookshelf ^ From the front ^ Hope all the fellas like it, my first tank + not up to a standard of ANY kind due to terrible lack of budget, skills and time. I tried my best - still enjoyed making it though - very quick build and I hope to do some more soon Ordered MasterBox WW1 Male Mk1 Tank to get started on next, lets hope I don't destroy the poor kit as much as I did with the Tiger ey? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Nothing wrong with your Tiger. looks very good, and glad you enjoy building armour. were all learning all the time, just enjoy what you do and keep putting them on Britmodeller. As for your next kit I will look forward to seeing that as I would like to build a tank from ww1 but never get round to buying one. so get it built and show it on here for all to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will, yeah, seems like a friendly bunch up on here and hopefully it'll be better as it won't be brush-painted, I'll probably use my dad's compressor and an old airbrush when it's done, hoping to add the grenade shield and weathering powders (coming soon) on the model which is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes, Get the old mans compressor going and get him to get you a cheap airbrush from that auction site. I use a cheap old airbrush for my kits. Be good to see it with your weathering powders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we have one if I can recall correctly, we used it from when I used to dabble in WH40K a while ago, and yeah once I do enough chores to earn them Should be alright, the Humbrol ones?

Courtney Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Looks the business, everyone has to start somewhere and that is a good start - to my regret I threw out all my vehicles many year ago. Top tip don't. Put them in a box in the loft for later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
