discussion Academy; 1.35 Tiger 1 early

[aaron]

cool,it is a great kit no problems and very good fit,
hope you got yours for a nice price,as well,

I got both the interior and exterior kits from a clearance sale at my local hobby store for a sweet price Monica. Some of the tools are lacking in detail but lucky I had a few replacements in the spare bin.

oh cool lucky you,not just one bargain but 2 ,


will look very forward to seeing them,


I did see the one with the interior as well,I mite still get if I,can hunt it down for a fair price,


I payed about 52 with postage so not to bad,

 

[monica]

well as it,s a nice sunny day,I got the base work done,to take advantage of the sun,


so did it as early summer with the crops still high and greenish,


that's a good 3 to 4 hrs work setting all that grass made from garden twine


or maybe more,time to have a kip,should be out in the garden but that can wait,


well hope your liking it so far,waiting on some figures so that will slow me down a little,

That's really good Moni! German tankers described the Steppes as like driving through a sea of grass, causing them to really fear a dug-in AT gun, or an attack by Russian infantry.

 

[monica]

ta Patrick,I did read some think along these lines as well,and when doing some research on the area,


did see a lot of pics of long grass or just open dry fields,so went for this look of tall grass,and as


a lot added the extra protection of the logs as well maybe for that just reason,

 

[flyjoe180]

That grass looks really good Monica, very convincing with the Tiger in it.

 

[monica]

ta Joe,so happy that you do like it,


just need to thin a little but not to much,maybe add a little yellowish /green alone the outer edge or maybe just leave it be,

 

[Steve Brodie]

Brilliant, dont know where you get the time to keep knocking these out, but they always look excellent.

 

[monica]

ta Steve,that's so nice of you,and very much appreciated,,most of all happy you like it,

 

[monica]

well some done today ,did hope to get more done,


the figures are very nice I like them,


added some weathering and the added armor to the sides,being trees,


and I,know it looks a little patchy in spots but once the rest is added,and


it has its finishing washer of dirt to blend all,


well hope your liking it so far
