Nice work with the monotone scheme...the toolbox and spare wheel add some nice color variation...

It's like the boy has some art knowledge or something!

Andy this is really well executed!  The Steel blue and primer red on the extra wheel are really nice tonal artistic touches.

The mapping is superb.  Nice Job Mate!! 

Stunning...just stunning.....love the figs

cheers guys, Bil he,s only on there because he,s my latest figure and hes only serving as a sence of scale.I have a crew planned for this build when i can get round to doing them.

Just teasing, Andy, I remember him for your painting toot.  THanks to your help, I plan to put a figure on every kit from here out, for eactly that, scale.   

Fig looks first rate, just happy.

Bill

Wonderful, Andy, once again you have transformed plastic into metal.

That German seems awfully happy for so late in the war, though...

Weell do lads, once again thanks for lookin in .Well here she is with a bit of extra weathering and a tool box and spare wheel, ive also added further highlights after an initial coat of liquid  clear oil  from the bob ross range. With this stuff you can add a tiny amount of paint and the blendingcapabilities is awsome just like the bob ross paintings if youve ever seen them.Im very happy with how this has turned out and i will do more in this style in the future as it makes a single colour paint job very interesting.

tHANKS GUYS im glad you liked it, as for tutorials Steve  im a bit pushed for time at the moment thats why some of my comments on posts are very brief, and yes its mr surfacer 1000 i used on the turret, and i stipple it on and brush horizontaly then when dry i sand it back    this leaves a teqsture similer to cast metal plate.

No sweat Andy...just save the pictures and put it on your "to-do list".  This is a great, and popular, subject, well-executed and I'm sure I'm not alone when I say it would be a useful reference to have. 

Sorry about that Bodge but I thought I had already made a comment on this one but I guess not. You turn them out faster than I can keep up. So you used #1000 to get that rolled steel look.All i've got is #500 so I need to get some of the other because that looks real.

You've sure got the nak for taking a cheap kit and making it look like a million bucks.

Great Job bro                                                                                                                             Tony the Mutt

Andy - Another outstanding job...I love the finish. The fig looks great.

Hope whatever is keeping you busy is good, fun and does not keep you away from us too long!!

Rounds Complete!!

Two for this beauty Andy. That dude on the turret looks fantastic, love the painting.

Yeah, what's so funny, what is that guy laughing at?

He's laughing at previous attempts to model the King Tiger. This one takes the cake,,er struddle.................One of the best ever, Bodge,,as you say   lovely jubly  

OK Andy, I'm going to print this and go home and copy it (no internet at home). I have a couple of KTs in the stash that have been patiently waiting for me, and this is the kick in the hind end that I needed.

I do mostly OD stuff or Israeli, and neither scheme chips, so I'm gonna make like an arborist and start chipping.....

Running out of adjectives to describe your stuff, Bodge...let's go with "superb" this time?

BTW, I know you have a face painting tutorial kicking around somewhere - any chance we could get an everything-else-about-figs version?
