It's always great to see a WIP with all these relevant and important mods and corrections called out!  Thanks for taking the time, Rodolfo!

   Thanks for your kind comments friend.  Nice work too. For make the track as "urban city", the weathering must be soft.

Rodolfo, just wanted to send a pic of the Waffenträger I'm currently building. I'm pretty much going to give it a inner-city type weathering; chalky dust, and grime. BTW, loved how you did the tracks; the colour looks super!

Hello friend, great to see these pics. I'm taking advice from them on my latest project. I'm now currently bogged down on these individual link tracks which are killing me. Tamiya ones I find to be much better. Thanks for sharing your awesome Tiger I.

Love this thread :)
Thank you for your excellent build log and added value knowledge items!
And thank you for sorting out my "hosing issue" for me!

Hola Rodolfo,

Great kit, I just started back on the hobby.

Im from Puebla.

What Hobby store do you recommend in Mexico City?

And also what is the purpose of the Comex Polivinil?

Saludos,

  Hello  friends!

More updates:

Some of "chipping" using Vallejo Saddle brown and Black 50%x50%.  My next and last step is to finish the another tracks and mount them.  I will open another post with the model finished, maybe I will include the Commander. Thanks for follow this post!

Thanks for your comments and observations friends!.   Well, really the tubes are not rusted and I not finished yet the weathering, hee,hee.

More updates:

Rubber tubes? Whence this idea? I've never seen them anything but painted metal. Here's an original;

Making good progress Rodolfo! One thing to note, the tubes on the rear engine deck leading to the Feifel air filters were rubber, not metal, so they wouldn't have a rusty appearance as a result. Love the dusty look you're achieving here, sets off the green nicely.

Fine work Rodolfo.

  Hello friends!

More updates:

Using the same method of the Turret.

Thanks friends!

I used first the coat of polyvinyl  + the marble powder and finally the pigments.

More updates:

Working the Turret at 90%:  Impacts with Black of Vallejo.   Weathering with Pigments Sienna Natural of Vallejo using Enamel Thinner of Humbrol, detailing of dark earth with  "dark-earth" of Humbrol.  Final details of impacts with  "Polished Aluminium" of Humbrol.

Good stuff!

Is my understanding correct that the marble powder creates the texture, the pigments the coloring and polyvinyl is the binder?

Looking forward to your next update!

Nice layering result with the pigments Rodolfo, looks great over the green.

Thanks for your kind comments friends!

More updates:

Before to mounting the wheels, I Applying the Polyvinyl Acetate and Marble Powder, after  Vallejo Pigments Natural Sienna using Pigment Fixer (AK).

For weathering with desert-yellow I used with airbrush:  red-brown XF-64 + white XF-2 + flat-yellow XF-3.

Making great progress on this one Rodolfo, the paint work is starting to come alive with the layers/treatments you've applied.

Looking good Rodolfo. 

Thanks for your kind comments friend!

Sorry to hear that the setting solution attacked your paint Rodolfo! That's rough, but sounds like you've got a good plan to work around it.
