discussion 1/16 TIGER.

[eddiesolo]

This is Tiger commission build.

I have, drilled out the vision slits, removed the duplicated parts-rear convoy light, aerial tube, moved the commanders cupola to the correct position. Added armoured transmission covers, correct light added with cables added, PE debris grilles, aerial moved and I made a whip aerial and positioned it in the correct place, turret lifting mushrooms sorted, added grab handle to front-some Tigers had it some didn't.

Main detail is damage as he wanted it to look like it had taken a mauling but was still running.

Still more to do and tidy up before a primer coat can be added.

Coming along real nice Si.

Cheers fellas, appreciate the kind words.

UPDATE.

I decided to use a new medium for chipping effects, salt is fine but it isn't controllable, plus the downside is that if you fail to remove it all it absorbs moisture.

So, I tried a latex masking fluid, seems to be working rather well, tried it out on a couple of mudguards.

 

[Guest]

Looks good to me Si.
