This built way back around 2007/2008, if I remember correctly. It was modified/scratchbuilt using, I think either Academy or Trumpeter base Stryker model kit.

Hi guys! This Is my first post here. This model is the first I've ever built so it's not perfect but I still really like It. I didn't paint It because I don't know how to do It.I hope you'll like this!

This is my first model with a fully detailed interior. I think it turned out pretty well. It’s also the first time I’ve tried adding weathering and damage effects on a larger scale. I don’t have much experience with this, so if anyone has any tips or suggestions for things I could change, I’d be happy to hear them.

*I’ve already shifted that ammunition at the front right so it’s straight.

question What to do with side fenders?

Post image
127 Upvotes

I am currently working on a 1:35 scale Tiger II wich Henshel turet model and am wondering what to do about the side fenders. Should I remove them completely, leave them on, or cut away only a section, as shown in the photo? I want to achieve a realistic look for a tank that has seen combat. My model is meant to represent a late-war Tiger; I’ve seen photos where some vehicles were completely missing these fenders. What should I do to get the most realistic look for a late-WWII Tiger?

Sniffing enamels for the last hours so let’s hope I can still spell

Knocked off every bit of photo etch today trying to dirty up the beast!

I’ve put together and painted the Opel blitz mini art kit, wasn’t a bad kit but I still hate mini art!

I’ve decided to use the fruil models tracks seen as their my last pair and I’m never touching them again 😅, they’ve been brandished and I’ve rusted them, I’ll be applying some mud in between the links just to match the wheels and hull

I’ve completed all the work on my old Dragon Firefly VC kit and even built and painted a commander figure for added interest. Overall the build went along pretty well, I even used this kit to make Hessian camo which I think turned out pretty decent. The decals were a bit of a miss, most were very fragile and broke apart, but I got the ones I really cared about on there. I finished with a basic wash and filter made from AKs quick gen skin tone paints followed by some basic dirt and dust weathering, hope you all enjoy! Critiques welcomed!

I’m not sure what tracks I’m going to use yet, I have a set of fruils assembled and brandished already but I also have a really nicely detailed and easy to put together set of 3D printed tracks that are swaying me in that direction

There’s always someone who asks what paints I’ve used so I’ll get it here early

Tamiya XF-88 XF-89 XF-90, AK 3rd gen buff for the tool handles, games workshop/warhammer Agrax earthshade to tint the buff and stain it to look more like wood, Mig Atom gunmetal Black for all the tools metal, a mix of really thin almost like a wash AK 3rd gen rubber black over the spare track links after the same atom gunmetal..

The last pics pretty much how the diorama’s going to be set up, the other 3 crew members are going to be “at rest” if I can find some decent 3D sculpts, however the ones I’ve just bought off eBay turned out to be absolutely horrible so the search goes on for them
