Remember my 72nd scale Tiger 1? Well, I've come to a satisfactory end of my little technology tester and am very happy with the results. The model is completely fictional and is a mish-mash of early and late tigers, but it has been great as a step back into modelling.
Some details:
- Entirely brush painted
- Base is Revell enamel no. 77, wash is diluted 78, drybrushed heavily with first a mix of 77 and 76, then just 76.
- Mud is drybrushed 87, then 86. (Also Revell enamels)
- After the tracks were done, I went over them with a soft artists pencil. I used the same for the chipped paint on the hull.
This must be my absolute favorite picture.. Its also my desktop background. the only let down is the way the tracks rubber-banded on me. Ah well.. So they rode over a treestump or something..
Somewhat overexposed, but oh well..
This one shows of the artist pencil touch for the bare metal weathering on the top of the turret and barrel..
Any comments are very welcome!
Cheerio!
