Nice work Spud, like the tracks seeing coming together. Nice extras as well.

Chris is right about the handed tracks btw: only the initial batch of Tiger I's had handed tracks, but with breakdowns of tracks they changed that soon. Number 100 would have had handed ones probably since she was one of the first.

Keep yer lovely work comin' mate

Cheers

[spud]

Thanks man

Very nice start on those tracks Spud. Caught the SBS over on SMA. Reminds me, I still need to do mine for the JT.

[spud]

Thanks rob there not bad just slow

[robbo]

[spud]

thats robbo

[spud]

Ok so finaly got around to trying out the new AK chipping stuffs and im in love

i mixed the two tto see what it was like because i wanted a little more than like shipping and less than heavy altough i think teh heavy still took over on the sides. Still i am happy.

ok before the ww when on. i put the decals on and sealed it,


today i put on 3 coats of chipping stuffs.









ill seal it up tomorrow

Looks great mate, really some great example of a well executed whitewash. Just one small thing: I'd remove a bit more of the white on the places where the mammoth insignia are.

Other than that I really like this, great base for some heavy weathering ey ^^

Keep up the good work mate!

Cheers

[spud]

lol thats a case of bad swabing back there, Yep cleaner now i must admit im not a fan of the stipes for the camo but it looks ok

[wouter]

well, I must say I did found it great that the early Tigers of the Abt.502 had that particular whitewash camo, makes your model stand out a bit more than 'regular' whitewash vehicles I guess.

Anywhoo, I'll be sitting here waitin' for some more candy

Cheers

[spud]

lol well seeing as this is my first it will do till i get working on my su 85

[spud]

i have a question, ive added the satan coat. Now is 1 coat enough? before i give it a wash?

[406 Silverado]

Now that is looking sweet Spud. Love the faded w/w. This is going to look great weathered.

[spud]

thanks rob, got an answer to my question? ;D and i cant wait to get down and dirty with it

[wouter]

spud, if you're not sure you can add another coat. I usually use a coat or three

Cheers

[spud]

ya but it stinks! lol

[wouter]

really? Which one do you use? ;D

I use the Vallejo Model Air varnishes and they don't ;D

Cheers

[spud]

i have teh humbrol one., i dont like teh velajo ones becaue they seem milky when i put them on.

[wouter]

I agree: the Vallejo ones are milky and in my humble opinion need to be thinned to spray smoothly, otherwise one gets little white particles in the varnish layer.

Cheers

[spud]

yea on my RSO dio i had teh mussle break a soot color but the mat varnis made it milky and it stayed that way

[spud]

finaly the tracks are finished, brass rod arived today so i got stuck in. next on the list will be some blackin it stuff ill order that monday.

[bigjohn]
