tompiki_scalemodels Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Hello everyone.👋 Trumpeter's late version Tiger I in 1/35 scale is ready to be primed. I can only recommend this kit. For reasonable money it offers a lot of details including zimmerit which is easy to work with because it is made of thin plastic sheets. Its perfect regularity and thickness are targets of criticism, but I chose the kit precisely because of it (really easy to work with). Figures are from HobbyBoss. The loader and commander have aftermarket heads from Alpine Miniatures (faithful copies from AliExpress 💶). : Some inspiration: 5
Longbow Posted January 28, 2024 Posted January 28, 2024 Nice build !! I’ve built a couple of the Trumpeter Mid tigers, and it’s a very pleasant build. Make sure you knock down some of the texture on the commanders cupola, Etc. Its over done on the molding. 1
Keeff Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 Nice work ..... 👏 I look forward to seeing what you do paint-wise now! Keith 😁 1

tompiki_scalemodels Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 After a year of inactivity, I'm going to paint this cat. Today's spray job with black One Shot Primer from Mig. I'm very happy with the result, the primer created a perfect base coat. Only the airbrush got a bit busy with it, because this primer dries quickly, so before I sprayed the entire Tiger, I also had to clean the airbrush at least once completely. The next step will be preshading. 6
tompiki_scalemodels Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 (edited) The preshading is done. I used the white One Shot Primer from Ammo Mig for lightening. The next step will be the Dunkelgelb base color for camouflage and I will also start painting the figures. For the figures I will try using acrylic markers from AK Interactive for the camouflage patterns on the uniforms. Edited January 9 by tompiki_scalemodels 7
Keeff Posted January 9 Posted January 9 After the period of inactivity, it's nice to see this progressing again .... and looking good too! Keith ☺️ 2 1
Rob Maynard Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Excellent work! I'm currently building a couple of big cats myself, will build them up until the weather picks up for painting! 1
tompiki_scalemodels Posted January 16 Author Posted January 16 (edited) Hi everyone, thank you for all opinions and kind words! Dunkelgelb base color coat is done and yet I have also tried to do some color modulation in order to distort the uniformity of the base Dunkelgelb color shade. I have used Ammo Mig acrylics. Next step is highlighting some details with AK Interactive RC markers and then Olivgrün & Rotbraun camouflage. Edited January 16 by tompiki_scalemodels 4 1 3
Muchmirth Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Nice work, the shading has really paid off. The kit looks very sharpe and detailed. Paul 1
tompiki_scalemodels Posted February 8 Author Posted February 8 Thank you Paul! Hi everyone, the camouflage is done. I used Ammo Mig acrylics again. Sometimes I got a little bit off, but field camouflages were never completely perfect and I hope that the weathering process will mask some of the flaws. I will probably lighten the green and red-brown areas a little. Then I will do the decals and paint the details and tools. Tomas 6
