sean Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Excellent Stix, the addition of the figures adds a nice degree of "life" to the overall look of the tank, which in itself is stunning. Really great modelling again, Regards, Sean 1
PlaStix Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Thank you Nigel, Cliff and Sean. Sorry not to respond sooner to your kind comments - been a bit sidetracked by other builds!!! Kind regards, Stix 1

PlaStix Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 As I said in my Sherman build thread I was really hoping to have all the bases complete for my tanks by the end of the GB but it wasn't to be. This was of the bases I didn't get completed. I've included a few photos below of where it's currently at. I still want to add some more foliage and I've got a couple of German soldiers underway which I will add at some point. The light wasn't too great by the time I got around to taking these on Sunday evening but they show some of the details: And a general view: Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 6

Wolwe82 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Love the finished look Stix and mainly love the rusty exhaust covers! Very convincing! What technique and colours have you used for it?
PlaStix Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 Love the finished look Stix and mainly love the rusty exhaust covers! Very convincing! What technique and colours have you used for it? Hi Wolwe and thank you.For the exhaust covers I painted the rust effects after painting them with base colour and camo. I usually start with some thinned Revell Anthracite with some highlights of thinned and dry-brushed Humbrol's Gunmetal here and there - the latter doesn't always show through that much but it's part of the effect. There's no precise way for this - I just do it where I think it looks best following some photos online of the actual Tiger. I then used thinned RailMatch's Light Rust applied with a stippling brush. Then, before this is quite dry, I dab on some slightly less thinned Light Rust and Anthracite and this kind of 'blooms' into the still wet layer of thinned Light Rust. Each time I do it it is a bit of an experiment! I'm not sure it's the best way to get a decent rust effect but it looks okay to me. Let me know if anything needs clarification. Happy New Year. Kind regards, Stix
