SimonT - Tamiya 1:35 Sturmmorser Tiger (AAGB)

That's looking very nice indeed. The weathering will tone it down really well.

[SimonT]

Hope so Steve - looks a bit garish at the moment

I do like the camo Simon, looking forward to the weathering :thumb2:

Hi Simon
Paint job looks nice. These sets of paint are a good idea I think. They are cheaper than buying each paint seperately but if you only actually use 5 out of the 6 then your not saving perhaps. Anyway it looks good and even light weathering always subdues the starkness.
Stay safe.

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Steven[/COLOR] - thanks. Not sure myself but will keep pressing on and see how it turns out

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Jim[/COLOR] - I have a few of these sets from MigAmmo and AK. Just wish I could get them to spray properly


made a stencil from thin plastic card and tried spraying the patterns on

only had limited success so ended up hand painting them




all a bit dodgy looking

[Steve Jones]

So when are you setting up your AM website?? LOL

Pattern working well

[Jack L]

Looks good from here Simon!

Looking very good Simon. The paint always settles down under a bit of weathering.

Hi Simon
That mask you made for the itty-bitty patterns looks to have worked fine. I wonder how that was done in reality. A little man with a pot of paint and a 2 inch brush? :rolling:

The camouflage looks good Simon, the pattern has worked well with the spots.

[SimonT]

Steve - thanks. Pity the stencil didn't work

Jack - probably looks better from a distance :smiling3:

Peter - thanks. It has toned down a bit now after the filter and wash

Smiffy - is that the Mr Smith, he of the green paint. Good to see you again. Drag your Sturmtiger of the shelf and get it built! :smiling3:

Jim - the mask looked good but didn't really work in practice. I actually ended up brush painting the patterns.

Graeme - thanks. we shall see


before starting working yesterday morning I applied a layer of migAmmo filter for three tone camo - basically a posh name for brown - and left it to dry all day

last night I applied 'filth' to the insides and a wash of brown for german yellow on the outside - again posh names for brown. Hmm, i think there is a pattern to these migAmmo potions - they are really all just brown with different names applied to the bottles

left it to dry for a couple of hours then wiped most of it off again with little foam make-up sponge sticks and odourless thinners

this is the result so far

[Road of Bones]

Looks like the various snake oils have worked pretty well Si- the beast is looking like a cover photo for a Mig box of filters! I especially like the ambush camo you’ve done too :thumb2: (Yes, it is that Smiffy, btw)

[SimonT]

Never be that good Al but thanks


remembered that I hadn’t finished off the mould for the rockets so just mixed up some rubber and poured the mould

Worked a treat. Pics look great. PaulE
