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

Things are proceeding. nearly finished with the zim sculpting, drilling back out the covered holes and playing with the figures  :)

I even got back to sticking some plastic again.

As a little break from cleaning tracks and sculpting zimm I put the crew together. To me they looked like they were having a smoke break so I added a couple of wire cigs and a tobacco pouch for the guy with the pipe. The pouch is made from the metal off a tube of gel.
Still trying to figure out what to put in the hand of the guy on the right

I have made a little progress with the painting though.
I decided to use the only bottle of airbrush primer that I have MIG black. I had not had much success with it previously.

It seemed to go on a little better for me this time.

I went ahead with some painting on the figure

I realised that i had forgotten about the eyes

A quick coat of German Grey on the tank with plenty more to do yet

Figure Painting MiniArt U.S.Jeep Crew & MP

First attempt at painting a Figure face in 1:35th Scale.

I don't know if I like how it came out I need to leave it aside for a couple of days and look at it again.

Don`t mind the helmet its a bit askew, I just dropped it on there.
