Re: The official Junior GB of 2009!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted a build up on this. I didn't have a camera. I am kind of sad that i so close to finishing this so early since I haven't had anythaing to do over the break. Right now it is about 95% done(still have to add a little bit more weathering). I know the tanks nuers aaren't correct for the camo sceme, but i didn't want to do the ambush type yet. Here are some pics of it(taken on a digital camera, so they don't do it much justice)

Hope you liked it!

Re: The official Junior GB of 2009!
That is AWESOME! that is just wicked cool!! did you do the camo freehand? and what color did you use, my normandy dio that I am doing for this group build is going to have a tiger, and I want it to look pretty much like that, but I could not find a color that could quite match match what I want, but that camo looks just about right!!!


Thanks, great model, Jim

Re: The official Junior GB of 2009!

Ok I made some progess today,

I have put the road wheels together, worked on the lower hull and started to try to damage to zim on the tiger 1

I painted the flesh and preshaded on the tank comander,

I put together the main cannon, the gun cradle and the gun shield for the pak 40

 and, lastly, I have put together painted and installed about half of the interor of the halftrack.

Tell me what you think so I can improve, Jim

Jim, you will need to lighten the painmt for the 1/72 scale vehicles or it will be too dark.  i think.

Re: The official Junior GB of 2009!

I'm back.. Yeah, pictures will come..

First off, that Jagdtiger is awsome. But staying away from ambush scheme is.. Well, silly. It was the first camo I did with my airbrush. Heck, was even the first thing I did with the airbrush (After trying it for 30 mins on a piece of cardboard).

 

Jim, you are such a lucky chap! Having all those beautiful vehicles, and the skills (That are better than mine) to make them gorgeous! And your displaybase? Hah.. I envy you for actually being able to BUY a displaystand for .99. If they even SOLD them here, they'd be much more expensive....

Thank you very much Huxy, but I do respectfully disagree with one thing that you said, what is that you ask? Well your skills are flat out better that mine, NOT the other way around! ha ha

And Hellcat man, that panther is sweet!!

Thanks, Jim.

Hello!  I'm a friend of Boba.  He told me to tell everyone here that he won't be on for a little bit, as he is having computer problems, but he will be back as soon as he can to update things!
