discussion TAMIYA 1/35 TIGER I w/SNOW CAMO

[Guest]

This Tiger 1 was inspired by Andy's Hobby Headquarters and has been an absolute joy to build, the pieces stuck together well, i ran into almost no problems along the way. Once again another beautiful kit that proves that TAMIYA is a brilliant model company.

Louis, Tamiya kits are quite straightforward to build but one day try a Dragon kit - you'll be amazed by the level of detail & notice what Tamiya fail to include.. weld beads anyone?


The winter whitewash has turned out well! One small point if I may...


The tracks need to be laying flat along the majority of the upper roadwheels. If you add a dab of superglue & hold them in place it'll look much nicer.


Cheers

Believe me Louis, getting a good snow camo wash is not as easy as it looks. Like I said before, I have yet to achieve one I am happy with. However, I quite like the really grungy look you have achieved with this one. Don't over work or over think it as, sometimes, it is best to stop and move onto the next model. You can always come back as you gain experience and touch things up.
