Hehe. No problem! I will start some for you!!! ... start doesn't meant finish... because when the finish stage starts... I get struggled.🥴  Cheers LM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Modeller Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Today is a special day for me , so wanted to do something...light and did some puzzle solving... wheeeeeeelllsss!    Puzzle solved... not very complicated...but a bit confusing mainly because of the huge number...     Now the bad news... all wheels have extraction points...if we can call that, they seem more like holes.. not one or two, but 8 each! I know that they will barely visible, but must take care of them... must! I would get sic if not.   Cheers LM Edited December 7, 2021 by Lazy Modeller 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great that the wheel puzzle came together. As for the pin marks, it's a pity, it looks like they're really is a lot of work to be done. But maybe it is not necessary to putty all the traces of the pins? And maybe you can make a special tool for putty on the overall profile of the wheel?  Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to use putty on them, I will... sand it all!!! You can bet on!  Cheers LM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazy Modeller Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 Ready? Set! Go!  First set done  Second set done   All set done! So I did the marathon... and become last concurrent by far! Like they all say... its not how it starts... but how it finishes... anyway I think they all wrong... because I barely finish anything! ...well at least this stage is done...its not to bad, and did some free fitness.... next...  Cheers LM 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The wheels look great, you really did a great job!  I have nothing against the Tigers, but... Just think - if you made a Pz.Kpfw.38(t) and not a Tiger, you would already have wheels for six tanks, not for one! Six is a lot, even on the fingers of one hand, it is impossible to count!  Vytautas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josebagasteiz Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi friends. I am following this thread with great interest, one day I would like to build this Tiger but for now I am busy with Trumpeter's 1/16 Panther. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First to get rid of the extraction marks in every one wheel, and they were very deep. But did the job, but really they are toooo manyyy.

I hope you'll enjoy the ride. The panther is the only one I don't have in 1/16. I have the pzIV. pz II, T34, Jagdtiger, King Tiger, well and others but I get scared only for looking inside the boxes...damn too much pieces there. Probably will not build them, and have too many to finish already... cant star any more... I hope! Maybe I'll start the pzII 1/6 next year because it doesn't have interiors, but maybe.

Lazy Modeller Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) One more paint job today. Desk just cleaned to get dirty! This time will try to use my Chinese pistol. Its nice but seals are damaged and think will be its last job. Lets see how it goes.      Well managed to paint all the wheels, but hardly and got to the dustbin...anyway sprayed almost 2 RC bottles.  Wishing all my customers  a Merry Christmas!  Cheers LM Edited December 20, 2021 by Lazy Modeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I think you might find the pink tanks are Panthers.............................. Or is it just the colour balance on my monitor? Edited December 20, 2021 by echen 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Real Colors RC067...well maybe... that's also the one I used in the Maus... So now see: 4 Real Colors RC067 bottles. OK?  Surprise! Now tell me. Real Colors? ... My A..! The 2 in the center are OK, the others are pinkish! So I'm using them as primer. Now you know! Cheers LM  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 We are very much at the mercy of paint manufacturers. We research the colours and choose what is advertised as the "correct" colour but it only works if it is the right colour in the tin.🥺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can try to do a close match, but its better not take it to much... anyway this is just an hobby, at least for me, and if we go to far it turns in...work, and that cant be because I'm already retired! Anyway its not OK to have different colors in the same reference. No Way! Didn't see that before in any Brandt. Cheers LM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
