SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

[Neil Merryweather]

Thanks Jim

Neil - If possible I squeeze the air out the mould then gradually release as I pour so that the resin is sucked in. Then use a coffee stirrer or other prodding stick to work the resin into the mould corners and dislodge any small bubbles. Tapping and gently squeezing the mould sides can also help once the resin is in

Ah yes I remember it well.....
Thanks

I thought I would get a bit more moggelling time in on a night with this working from home lark but ended up working 11.5hrs and finishing at the time I normally get home!

However, in the words of Mick, I want it painted black.......


this simple task turned out to be anything but simple as my nearly new mig Ammo One Shot black primer had turned to jelly and wouldn't spray - anyone else had this problem?

I suspect it is down to the stupid flip top bottle not sealing correctly

had to open a new bottle so at least it got done in the end

Glad you made your way through it without further mishaps.

No not had that problem with the brown Simon .

[Steve Jones]

That's why its called One Shot Mr T. You just have one shot at using it and then bin it LOL

[SimonT]

You could be right Steve - a cunning marketing ploy. Going to be costly throwing 3/4 of it away each time

[Road of Bones]

Not the only one Si- I didn’t have to bin half a bottle though! I have had to tweeze a plug of rubbery gunk out of the lid several times. It is a good primer, once de-gunked however.

[SimonT]

Ah - I just shook my bottle as wasn't expecting that so must have mixed the rubbery stuff into the paint

I shall investigate first next time, thanks

I agree, when it works it goes on nicely

[SimonT]

managed to fire up the AirViper0.2 and get a fun couple of hours blasting AK's dunkelgelb modulation set at this one

looks very light but I know it will tone down considerably later on



the tracks were sprayed with the dark base colour from the modulation set as it looked like a nice starting point

not sure whether to go with camo or leave it plain yellow - i have a german camo modulation set that hasn't been tried yet.......

[Road of Bones]

Gosh- paint! :astonished: :smiling:
Seems such a long time since I saw a SimonT paintjob...

[Steven000]

Looks awesome Simon :thumb2:
Very nice
Steven

[Steve Jones]

Camo all the way for me Simon. Great work with the modulation

Simon,
good to see this at paint, cammo for me to.

[Graeme C.]

Simon, paint looks good, I'm with Steve & Scottie, camouflage!

[SimonT]

Here you go then.....


had this set so decided to try it out - three each brown and green shades

had a nightmare trying to get it to spray nicely (I only seem able to get a consistent finish with Tamiya) so the finish is not as good as i would have liked - a bit spattery on the edges

hope to lose some of that with the weathering




the scheme on the side of the box has chips of contrasting colour all over it which looks fun - yellow on the green and brown and green on the yellow areas so may have a stab at that
