Longbow Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Hi Guys !! Hope everyone is staying safe, snd keeping well !! Ready for inspection finally is this Taniya Brummbar, that I finally got a figure finished for. Built OOTB, with no additives... Except for an Alpine figure with a Tamiya arm. Hope y’all enjoy !! Critical observation is welcome !! Lee. 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Forgotten all about this one Lee, came out well! Nicely weathered too, suitably scuffed, scraped and grubby without being ott. So the tank is finished, the little fella is ready, just need the base to go with it.... I'm sure someone with your talents could knock something up... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Excellent finish on the "Bear" Lee. The figure looks good. I don't know if you've ever tried this before, but when I'm painting a figure, after the flesh has gone on, I flood the face and hands with a shadow colour, thinned right down with water. It gets into all of the nooks and crannies. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Really like the finish on this Lee, looks like a very well used tank! Did you do the weathering with paint or pigments? And are the schurzen from the kit too - they look to be scale thickness? Good looking figure too. 👍 Very nice job! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is still in draws until I can get a display case, which was supposed to happen last Wednesday, and then last Saturday, but work got in the way LOL !! 2 hours ago, Bullbasket said: Excellent finish on the "Bear" Lee.

I have a bunch of Alpine and Hornet heads here, as well as Dragon, etc, and really need to pin and prime a number of them, so I can practice. 2 hours ago, swralph said: Nice one.😀 Thanks for looking in, and commenting !! 57 minutes ago, keefr22 said: Really like the finish on this Lee, looks like a very well used tank!

All weathering is done with paint, either thinned and sprayed Vellejo Kharki, or the one oil paint, thinned and used as a streaking agent, filter, pin wash, etc. I use a very small selection of colors, for everything. The Schürzen are just 20 Thou card, cut to size, with the kit brackets added. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now get your finger out and stop procrastinating! Your maniac, more blocks more pins.....is there a block and pin supplier I can buy shares in?🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil1960 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Nice job! Camo is perfect and I love front steel wheels! 👍 I'd like to built my Brummbar in Italy but Dragon high price dissuaded me🙄 and I have already given my blood for a STUG IV Dragon kit! Which unit?
