discussion Meng's Cartoon Tiger I.

[Guest]

Hello friends, I got this kit from a good friend of mine who purchased it after drinking too much whisky, so he decided to send them my way as a token of our friendship...

...THIS WAS FUN ! After 3 hours of building I now have a cartoon Tiger I on my desk, ready to be painted. I'll sculpt a German cartoonish figure and place it in the turret.

I think we don't have to take our hobby so serious all the time. Time to relax !

Best regards ! AG.

They really are great little models, the other plus is far less wheels :smiling:

[Guest]

Mick, less wheels...that was the big plus !

They are great kits Guy, I myself do the Egg planes from Hasegawa. Great for unwinding and also great fun to build.
I think I'm may get some of these now I've seen them, there's also some ships I believe.

 

[Guest]

Ian, I also have a Sherman M4A1 on my desk and I can hardly wait to build it. Ships ? Cool, why not !?

 

[Mickc1440]

Who makes these kits?

Who makes these kits?

I think the title of the thread leaves you a clue Mick

Cheers

Doh, retreats behind closed curtains to avoid the shame. Thanks Wouter

Hi Guy
A great little fun model. Looking forward to the painting. Doesn't someone make dumpy little planes and ships as well?
Jim

 

[Guest]

Having fun is what this game is all about Guy. Great stuff. Looking forward to the figure.

 

[Si Benson]

These Meng toon tank kits are sweet...I look forward to seeing you paint this up!
Helped my son build the M4A1 a few years back and he really enjoyed building and then playing with it...we never did paint it though!

These Meng kits are certainly on my wish list. I dont know if it was Meng but I did come across a Jap carrier at a show once which was really neat. Thanks for sharing mate

 

[Guest]

Steve, I purchased Meng's Battleship Lexington, I'll build it soon and I think it will be another fun little stressless project.:smiling2:
Si, here's some paint, I hope you like it so far ?
Peter, sculpting the figure will be the challenge but I'll do the best I can.
Jim, indeed sir, Meng and Tiger Model do.

The Tiger was spraypainted today. I will present them together on display.

[Wouter]

Oh my, good to see them in color and decals on the Shermie!

erm, you mention Battleship Lexington...shouldn't that be a CV or aircraft carrier? ^^

Cheers

 

[papa 695]

There both looking great Guy.

 

[Guest]

Ian, thank you !
Wouter, of course you're right, it's an aircraft carrier. :smiling:

Hello friends, I didn't have much benchtime the past days but today I had so applied a wash (burnt umber + ultramarine blue + white spirit) on the Tiger and the Sherman turret.
