Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

@richmac these are very accurate builds and very much show you’re developing skill set. Nicely done bud.

Bit more paint. Next thing is to detail all the tools, add the peripherals, the cables and mg. Then the extra details and weathering.

Half finished chassis of a German 8 tonne half track. Airbrushed on a base German grey colour, then used a dry brush with chrome paint. Finished with a black pin wash and streaking grime…….🚒😂

The Tiger is looking great in its camouflage. Looking forward to seeing the next step.

I thought that half track chassis was a highly detail all metal kit. That is some amazing paint job!

Thanks chaps, I’ll try to finish off the steering rack this week. The colours dried really well over night.

Nearly there.

Got all the cables on, the AA Mg and spare track links also had to make a barrel for the hull Mg, the proper one melted!

I need to detail the tools on the front of the hull the the weathering needs a bit more doing before I'm happy the Vallejo mud & grass is ace for covering up the horlicks I made of the tracks!

Extra bits: from pics on tinterweb I noticed that often the paint at the rear right of the turret was worn away on the rim above that circular escape(?) hatch, so I tried to recreate that by painting steel colour first, then citadel 'ardcoat, then normal paint & I used a suede brush to wear that away in the right place not sure how well it shows on these pics.

I've added a couple of jerry cans on the back, Sub MG hung from the track links on the left and also a tree trunk made from left over parts spider clamped in the mechanics vice to rough it up then painted with Citadel 'Stirland mud' for a bit of texture. I got these ideas from pics I also noticed thinks like helmets hung on the outside but ran out of ideas on making these !

Morning :) This is looking spectacular Rich. The detail is very good. I like all the extra bits you`ve added and the mud around the tracks. You could add depth around the engine vents by washing with a black oil wash. The dry brushing is on par too. Great work !
