T-Tango Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I just can't believe I've only been building the Tigger for 10 days now, the basic construction is finished, so it's off to the painterie for the beastie, lets see how that progresses.

T-Tango Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Cheers Daz, I know it looks full of holes, but thats where the addie on bits go after it's painted, before any one asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Well I knew that mate. I must get my 1/35th ones done. Wasn't referring to you mate, it was for the benefit of those that haven't ventured over to the "Dark Side" yet.

T-Tango Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 The Tigger's in the paintshop, first coat of Panzer Grey is on doesn't look too bad, seeing this is the first time I've used acrylics, yes I've decided to change from enamels, I'll see how the rest goes.

T-Tango Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I also thought Daz that I would try Dr. Flory's Impeccable Acme Weathering Elixir on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Latest installment, after the first visit to the painterie, this is the first time that I've used acrylics, I know it doesn't look a lot different cos the plastic colour was dark Panzer grey, but I can assure you that the whole tankie IS painted, wheels done as well.
