providence Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone, This is my latest built, a Tamiya Tiger on quarter scale. It was a very straitghfoward build, very enjoyable, so I have focused on the painting and weathering. I decided to do a tank of the second Panzer Regiment at Kursk in summer 1943. I need to improve my skill regarding painting a figurine, this is only one of my first try. I'm thinking to add a little diorama in the next weeks, the Tiger on the stepp of Kursk, maybe over a trench... I hope you enjoy it.

For the camo, I used my airbrush and painted free hand, for the chipping, it was done with a fine brush and some sponges.

Regards Providence https://accurate-armour.com/aa-products/135th-accessories/a094 I have seen this sort of thing on ebay as an industrial item and even thinner. But the above is a good place to start. Be good to see more 1/48 armour on here. It's very under rated in my view. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Really nice, as has already been mentioned by almost everyone, I particularly like your nice tight camo demarcation, I cant even get anywhere near that tight in 1/35! Great work Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totaly agree about armor on quarter scale, I find it a good compromise between detail and size. And I can put them next to aircraft to give a good size understanding. 9 hours ago, Jasper dog said: Really nice, as has already been mentioned by almost everyone, I particularly like your nice tight camo demarcation, I cant even get anywhere near that tight in 1/35!

providence Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Hi Everyone, I just finished a little diorama for my tiger. I wanted to make a scene with my tiger crossing over a trench during the battle of Kursk. For the first time, I used an electric flock applicator from Mig Ammo. It worked well ! I hope you like it.

Slackbladder Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Very nice, I like the way models come to life when you add even the smallest bit of basing/diorama around them. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
