Göran Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hi all Here´s my rendition of an Israeli Tiran 5. I was inspired by Adam O`Brians superb Tiran in AFV 37, so I wanted to do a rather "used" one. Apart from the kit I used Verlindens dozer blade set, fruil tracks and Eduards exterior set and more. Most of us know how tricky it is to get the "correct" colour for IDF vehicles, but I finally landed in using a mix of Gunze H402 + H79 + flat white in different proportions. I also used oils to break up the base colour(s) even more. I didn't have a specific time period in mind. For the dozer blade, which was a first, I used Model Master "Exhaust" followed by a Gunze´s flat varnish. then airbrushed Lifecolors "light Rust" and "Rust" and to complete the first round I applied Mig´s "Gun Metal" in some areas of the blade to get a shine followed by a wash of WS and Mig´s "Middel East Dust". For overall weathering and chipping, apart from the media used on the dozer blade, I used Derwent artist pencils (black + silver), a wash of WS and Burnt Sienna which I found especially useful for the areas around the hatches plus Mig´s "chipping" colour. Anyway, thanks for reading this long and I hope you enjoy the pics 🙂 Cheers Göran 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Goran, that is absolutely superb. I've got the same magazine article, and yes, it was brilliant. You've made a lovely job of it and it's encouraged me to finish my Tiran 5. Nice one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Göran Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Again, thanks for the kind comments 🙂 Rob, glad that you like the photos themselves, since I put some effort in them, to "bring out the beastly nature" of the Tiran. In case somebody is interested the background i several black t-shirts draped around pc-screen and the tower of the desktop. Cheers Göran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Wow !, I do not exaggerate when saying that it is the best representation of the Tiran that I have never seen, it is superb in its whole, because it looks like a real vehicle. With those improvements that you added is the icing on the cake ... Cheers mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Göran Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 I have no wish to bump this thread just for the sake of it, but I feel that not saying thanks for the recent kind comments would be rather impolite. So again thanks gents. I'm pleased that you like the result Cheers Göran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have some pics from the build. Is there anything of special interest to you so I don´t waste bandwidth unncesseraily (sp?) Anyway thanks yet again for the positive feedback :) Cheers Göran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
