Andy J Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Armour build number 5 complete and i thourghly enjoyed myself again with this one. I decided to use this build as a sort of weathering mule so this certainly isn't a factory fresh Tiger infact it's probably way OTT but it gave me a great opportunity to learn about the weathering products I've purchased recently for future builds. The kit itself well it's Tamiya so no issues there and it's detailed enough for what i intended it for. Here's the pic's of the finished build So another one finished time to start the next one thanks for looking back soon 🙂👍 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Nice one Andy, that's certainly been around the block. Some really nice weathering touches on display, the rust and associated staining is particularly good as are the turret numbers and exhaust shrouds. Might want to have a practice on the tow cable, if you don't mind me suggesting it. (Stands out like a sore thumb being shiny silver). Looking forward to seeing you put the weathering products to further use! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi Andy. Wow!! That's a very impressive Tiger! Fantastic weathering. Looking forward to seeing your Panzer III in the STGB of the same name! Very well done! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Nice one Andy! Still can't get over how quickly you've gone from flawless, miles deep, super shiny 2K finishes to something looking as manky as that....!! You've taken to this armour modelling lark like a duck to muddy water! Top job! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernst Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Cool tank Andy, I really like it. Is this the Tunisian one? I've build one years ago and it really put a smile on my face. The Grilles really add up and those intake pipes are very convincing. Lovely model, Cheers, Ernst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Nice work Andy. I like the chipping and the way that the turret number is partially rubbed out. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the key is to find the correct amount of weathering required for each kit without going too far so the M26 Pershing I'm currently working on will receive much less aggressive weathering but hopefully just enough 😉👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Wot, you're working on the Pershing?? Gotta go and find it then. That is one of two tanks I have in the stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
