Tamiya Late Version Tiger 1 update 5

It has been some time but progress has slowly progressed.

Some paint on the figures

Some more paint and some tracks and weathering on the tank. also Some bridge of a diorama in the background

Oh shiny metal look. pencil rubbing and more grime

Some blocks on the back of the bridge. They are made from red das clay

The front of the bridge..no blocks yet. but the beginnings of a base

Cobblestone roadway from the white das clay.

Its all a bit of a mess still but I have some idea of where I`m going with it

The plan is to have some railway tracks running on top of the bridge, if I can successfully scratch build them

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

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.
