I won't provide much commentary but here are a few photos of my recently completed Italeri 1/72 Tiger I E. Paints are almost all exclusively Vallejo. If you are interested in how I painted this model, you can visit Part 1 and Part 2 of a tutorial I put together. Feel free to post comments and feedback, Enjoy!
Very well done, that is crisp, clean work and I love Tigers.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent build and paintjob on my favoutite WWII AFV...
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Bennos ;-D

Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe chipping and dust look right on the mark. Seems such a shame italeri made such crappy tracks for such a nice model. Oh well, you make it shine!

Thanks for the feedback guys!
ReplyDeleteTroy, I think Italeri felt that since it was a "fast assembly" kit that the tracks could be basic... but I think Plastic Soldier Company has done a good job at defying that way of thinking. I have their 1/72 T-34's and the tracks are pretty well done, complete with track sag.
I've got their 1/72 PzIV on pre-order and I have high hopes the tracks are nicely detailed.

That's a lovely piece of kit. Great work Tanner.

thanks for the detailed explanations, I learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteCould you cut on the weathering steps by using pigments? Just wondering.
(added your blog to my blog list!)
Hi Braxen,
ReplyDeleteGood to talk to you, it's been a long time :) I still visit your blog from time to time and your painting looks great (as usual)!
You could perhaps cut down on steps with the pigments, but the problem I run into with pigments is they tend to disappear when you apply Dullcote... or the color is alerted. I haven't found a good solution for this yet.
Take Care!
