Looking sweet Bob

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Sprayed the Tiger today. This one's getting chipped so had a layer of hairspray first. I had a quick go on a couple of the wheels and so far, so good.

Bob .
Nice and subtle so far, are you planning to do more ?
John .

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers John.

Yes, lots more. As these are caricatures of tanks I'm planning on overdoing the weathering, far more than I would do on a "normal" model. This ones getting chipped, the Panzer's getting rust and the Panther is getting dirt.

I only did a little bit last night as I found the paint was still a bit soft and was tending to wash away rather than chip. Hopefully when it has fully hardened I should get better results.

Got the tiger chipped. Didn't go quite according to plan but I'm satisfied with the result.



I got it and the Panther varnished so tomorrow will get decals on all 3.

[Guest]

That looks perfectly alright to me Bob :thumb2:

[Mr Bowcat]

Decals are done.

[Mr Bowcat]

Evening all. :smiling3:

Started on some weathering tonight. The Panzer has has a pin wash with some streaking rust, and some pigments on the exhaust.

The Panther has had a gunk wash with some Flory clay wash, most of which has been wiped off.

Bob,
That is a great looking collection.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

Started work on the Tiger last night, I'll post some pics later when I've finished the turret.

Hi Bob
Missed this up 'til now - sorry. What a great looking trio. A good idea of yours to paint each differently and to use different techniques. Simple resin casting is a useful skill. I'm sure you will find loads of opportunity to use it.
Not far to go now.
Jim

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Jim.
