Some pic’s of my I.P.Tiger I for SMJ’s Big Cat’s GB. Did’nt give it to much of a beating because I want it to look like it had’nt been in the field to long.
Eventually I’ll be adding fig’s and putting it on a base.Another Sunday only project.
T34’s worst nightmare[}:)]
Well hope you like. All feed back is alway’s welcome.
Freakin’ sweet…I have the initiail in my stash…they seem to be hard to get these days…are those Archer drys or kit decals?
Manny thanx, I won this kit in a raffle a little over a year ago best five $ I ever spent.
I’ve seen these on E bay going any were from 30- 65$.
The decal’s are from the kit.This was a totaly OOB build.
Gorgeous!
Stunning! Perfect paint, and excellent weathering–the pastels are perfectly balanced with the paint color.
A really fabulous job, panzerguy!!!
Doog,Thank’s but “The producer wishes to acknowlage that there were no pastels used in the making of this Tiger”. LOL
And there’s that P word again[:O]
Most excellent[tup] Sorry, I was just watching Wayne’s World. But it really is[:)]
And if not pastels…what?
I tried something different and new on this.I took some very fine dirt (loam) mixed with 3 parts water 1 part white glue added some craft store acrylic burnt umber,the glue will act as a whitener and lighten up the umber, and a little terracotta.Mix it till it look’s like watery pancake batter.Use a 1/4in wide brush to apply it pretty much the same way you would pastel’s.
I built up layers on the front,back and side’s to give it a caked on look.I added more water to the mix and then gave the road wheels what was basicaly a wash.After it was dry I gave it a coat of clear matte and dry brushed it with some lite tan.
I’m pretty pleased with how it came out.
Looking good Panzerguy. [tup] As a minor note, only #100 had the side bins fitted, but that doesn’t detract from your build.
MR, they’ve been OOP for a while now and are sought after by the collectors, so it can be a scramble to try to locate one. E-bay’s about the only option these days.
Bill,thank you.
And dont it just figure[banghead].I looked all over for pics and info on these first four Tiger’s and the limited stuff I did find gave conflicting info.
Great job panzerguy…That thing just looks fantastic. I hope mine looks half that good when I build it.
Beauty of a build. I like the subtleness of the weathering.
Awesome work there fella. Just looks spot on to me. As you said, subtle weathering to look like its not been in the field too long. You pulled it off perfectly.
…Guy
Nice job. The dusting of the grey paint turned out nice! [tup]
Way cool build!
Looks just SO good in my eyes.
For the debate, If you relly want to get your head arround the features of the initial T1’s there was a bit of an argument going arround when the kit came out…
I remember an article where the artists said that this is not #100 but # 10?.. need to get back to the resource to fuel the discussion.
I am pretty sure I have seen a 100+ withe the side mounted boxes though.
What are the tracks?
Again, concratulations!
As allways
