rwoolven76 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Have you worked out how you're going to mount the Tiffie on it yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 That is a nice little kitten (here Kitty, Kitty). Ehh I mean Tiger. That are two very well done tanks you have and with that dio it will look great. I think I need to find me some of those 1/72nd scale Tanks.

sean Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think this calls for a Outstanding modelling Stix, your camo paintwork is top-notch, especially as it's done with a brush.....I'm absolutely serious when I say this is some of the very best brush painted camo I've seen. It mght be worth attaching some foliage to the tanks, it would be very authentic and would also tie them into the groundwork. What he said!! Seriously ...bloody brilliant, Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Hi Sarge, Richard, giemme, Wolwe, Arnold, Mish, Steve, Sean and V-P. Thank you all for your very kind comments and suggestions. It mght be worth attaching some foliage to the tanks, it would be very authentic and would also tie them into the groundwork. I tied some of the stuff I've got but it doesn't look too good. It's the same foliage I used on the baseboard but it looks a bit clumpy on the tanks. Any suggestions of what might be better? I won't be able to get it in time for the photos for the gallery but I think this a project that I'll keep adding to!Have you worked out how you're going to mount the Tiffie on it yet?Indeed I have - the Typhoon has been on it's mount for a while now - I'm just waiting for the big reveal!!! (Which may be tomorrow). And thank for the information about the Citadel wash. hope you,re not going to defect over to the armour department full time! No, but I do intend to make some more - thoroughly enjoyed building these two. I have some ideas for future projects and a couple of people have kindly offered advice about kits. In the meantime it's back to Spitfires - two 1/48 ones in fact!Well I seem to have got a bit carried away. I decided I didn't want the German troops hogging the baseboard, temporarily anyway!, so I got some of these: They come ready made so I only have to paint them and I'm only going to paint a few of them! As soon as they're done I'll get them on the board and then get the photos sorted - hopefully tomorrow!

Shermaniac Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Watch out for the plastic Stix if it's the soft stuff it'll swine to paint if it's hard plastic you're on a winner, just giving you a quick washing detergent before you start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hi Shermaniac, Woody, Sarge and Steve, Thank you all for the comments. plastic on the figures was fine Shermaniac, thank you for the heads-up. They're all painted and on the board. Sarge - I shall get some - this is a project I think I'm going to keep adding to for a while. I'll update the photos as I do. Well it's all finished and photographed. Unfortunately I can't get the iPad to cooperate so I probably won't get chance to upload the photos until I get on a computer which may not be until Tuesday. Oh well........... At least it's done. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ah the good old days! I remember cameras! Isn't everything a camera now? My camara stop talking to the laptop a while back - something it said .... I think. This thing is usually pretty good but the recent update seems to be taking it's toll on a few things!

PlaStix Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks guys. Well here we are. After all the build up I've finally managed to get everything posted in the relevant sections: The RFI for the Typhoon can be found here The RFI for the tanks can be found here The RFI for the diorama can be found here - please see the last photo to see how the actual baseboard and background appear when not together. And I've put 5 photos in the gallery - possibly the hardest to pick photos so far. I hope everyone's not too disappointed - "Aw, I thought he was going to ...................." (Fill in your own missing element in the space provided) This has been a thoroughly enjoyable Group Build and a big thank you must go to Arnold, our GB mod, for all his support throughout - well done Arnold! Nearly everyone who visited this WIP has helped with suggestions and tips but I'd especially like to thank Sgt.Squarehead, Shermaniac and Brews for their knowledgable advice - often lots of it by PM - thank you chaps. I have learnt loads! The Sarge also assisted with a variety of care packages of supplies to bolster the project - so yet more thanks to him! Well apart from a few doubts as to whether I'd finish in time, a few weeks ago, I've had a great time - I've learnt whole lot about German armour and Typhoons plus I learned a lot of new techniques. Being on BM is fantastic for the support Here's a couple of photos - I've posted too many in the sections mentioned above to tie up bandwidth here as well: Comments and suggestions welcome. Well that was fun!! Let's do it again some time! Kind regards, Stix 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
