Robbo, the finish on that Pz III is great mate, nice 'n dusty as it should be. As jackwagon mentioned the groundwork is lovely as well.
Cheers

thanks mate, glad you like it. Currently the build is on hold (well, not for too long, rest assured) because Phill Appleyard is helping me to get things right for Tiger 241 Dan, when are we seeing some of your progress mate? Cheers

I'm gonna dig up the little PZ I from Dragon soon and get that going for the GB. I'll test out some soon to be released paints from AK on that build.

Nice start on the Spit Chris. It's always a good sign when the wings and fuselage have good fits.

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Wow looks great Nate, when you start. Working with the ak stuff it will tone down yer madness with the sponge

Post by 406 Silverado on May 11, 2012 9:25:33 GMT -5
Looks ok Nate. Really hard to see the CM on this one, a good thing. Yeah the chipping is a bit .....um, not overdone, just all the same ..everywhere. Try this, take that sponge and do more chipping.....trust me. But this time pick areas that would get really chipped up by the crew, or rather the paint worn off. The front glacis below the hatch or the side tool box are good places to start. Do the chipping and then switch to a small fine tip brush. This will blend the chipping in areas you can't reach with a sponge. Best place is around the hatches and stowage box lids. You can also do more to the wheels and sprocket. The DAK dust effects will pop when applied to the darker chipped areas.
Just some tips, take or leave. Just keep with this one. The old kits are great to practice on.

Thanks for the tips fellas. Rob: Yeah, your right on with in front of the hatch. Kinda missed that one mate. Perhaps I will try some more on the wheels and tool boxes. Cheers Spud: Yeah, I did a pin wash with AK DAK wash and a little streaking last night and it already looks way better.

Looks better Nate. Too late now but another tip. On the wheels you could go heavier on the chipping, as well as the sprocket. When you do these, do it more in the middle of the wheel and sprocket, and in a radias. Your sproket looks like the gray goes from center hub to teeth, like a spike type thing. Just a small tip for what it's worth. I'll try to get something together to show you what I mean. Not saying yours is bad, just now you have a feel for and next time can take that one step further. I'll see what can slap some paint on to show. I'll post it in the tips category. Man, now I'm itching to do a PZ II.

who cares about the right color, this is lookin' darn fine mate ;D, nice stuff, and glad you are on a roll in this GB Did a bit on the Tiggy myself in between the household and study: BLING TIME! I started with the backplate and cannibalized the old Afrika Tiger by taking it's Voyager Feifel Y-piece and adding it to the engine bay I also added some casting numbers on the exhaust thingies, won't be visible afterwards though... That's it for today! Cheers
