Pz.Kpfw.I mit Abwurfvorrichtung Update 8

Doing a bit more with the diorama base, added some static grass and some sand as little rocks. The bulrushes are in place, some moss for small bushes and a different moss for the first layer of foliage on my twig tree

The plan is to have a little pond/stream with the tank running through it. I have to finish up painting the tank and tracks before adding the water as it will hopefully be a little submerged into the water.

I have run into a little difficulty with my matt varnish, it no longer dries matt more of a satin\gloss result( I have stirred, shaken, even prayed to the many tentacled devourer that lives in the carpet but all to no avail). It has put a little delay on my plans until I can get some replacement

Pz.Kpfw.I mit Abwurfvorrichtung Update 7

Started a bit of work on a base for my panzer, an old picture frame to start, built up the rough contours with some Styrofoam, coated it in pva and put some das clay on top, added some thin slips of wood around the edges.

Added some stones half buried in the clay and tried out some bulrushes that I made a while back,started shaping the wood around the edges.

I had a little brown paint left in the air brush after painting the camo on my tiger so I sprayed it on. finished shaping the wood on the edges and painted it black.

The star in doing a rehearsal.

Tamiya Late Version Tiger 1 update 4

Sprayed on a bit of camouflage red brown

Then a gloss coat and decals, they have had 3 coats of micro sol so far to try to settle them down on to the contours.

The continuing tale of a Tiger that has gone to the dogs

199 tracks glued up 99 on the right and 100 on the left

I decided that cleaning up the plastic tow cables was not worth it so I cut them out, drilled some holes and and replaced them with some wire

Primed with matt black And covered with Dunkelgelb/ Dark Yellow.

Added some browns to the tracks and a touch of steel they will need some more work once they are in place.

You can hardly see through the forest of wheels

I am debating whether I should add camo colors to the wheels. Probably not though.
