TAMIYA JGPZ-IV
Posted by waynec on Friday, May 24, 2013 10:17 PM

this is the old tamiya JGPZ-IV i have had for years. it started out as a guide for a 3D model years ago and i decided to finish it and practice my first 3 color camo pattern. i used silly putty for the masking. the painting turned out better than expected so it took on a life of it's own. there are still some issues with the painting but good lessons learned.

i added hooks for the spare tracks, pinned the sag in the tracks, added stowage on the rear deck including a frame, and cut the side skirts and added rope for attaching foilage.

it is painted with MMA yellow and green and polyscale red brown and weathered with pastels, another experiment.

Great job, those turretless German tanks have this look to them that I find appealing.

Still haven't tried a hard-edge camo and yours turned out great.

Looking nice, Wayne. I can only agree with all the other guys about that camo!

Cheers, Clemens

thanks everyone for the nice comments.

i have never tried a soft edge pattern but the plan is to freehand one by the end of the year. i have used tape for the big straight line splinter pattern on an ME-163. i think i am going to try blue tack the next time. may even flatten it out good on wax paper and cut the edge with an xacto.

Nice work on this one Wayne, the experimenting paid off! Free hand camo patterns are easier to do than hard-edge IMHO, so the fact that you've already got the hard-edge down puts you at an advantage. The key to free-hand camo is to avoid the 'hand of god' syndrome when visualizing the pattern and how they were applied. Wink
