discussion SimonT - 1/72 Revell Tiger II

[Steve Jones]

Nice update Simon. Will the tools be scratch built or from the spares box?

 

[Graeme C.]

Hi Simon, plenty of reference material & plenty of upgrades, will be following your build.

Hi Simon,
Missed this up till now. Your off to a great start. Chair pulled up to watch the magic show.

Ian - thanks
Jim - it is very small
Steve - tools will be made. I did make a set of Tiger tools a few years back, including a detailed jack, and a mould but have misplaced them. If I can't find them I will be at it again
Graeme - thanks
Scottie - thanks

made a start on some zimmerit - looks a bit rough blown up so big but once it has been sanded and with a few layers of paint over the top it usually looks ok so fingers crossed

Simon, did you use a pyrograver for the zimmerit or some other small scale technique that I am unaware of?:thumb2:
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Andy Belsey]

Simon,
The zimmerit will be fine once you've sanded and painted it.
BTW your fingers need a bit of TLC too! My wife is a dermatology nurse so makes sure mine don't get dry. Put some hand cream on before you go to bed. That way the model won't get greasy!
Take care! Andy

The zimmerit looks great Simon

I agree with Ian it looks very smart indeed
