Guys, its been two weeks, I have just completed the Jadgtiger given to me from Alex. This is semi hand painted model. Frustrated over the airbrush's behavior, I sprayed the model in the yellow tone, then hand painted the other two colours. Then I tone the colours with 15 sticks of different pastels and using the chalk to create post shading in the edges to give the feather edge look. Then I seal the whole model with water based sealants. Hope you guys like what you see.
Figure is taken from Dragon's Panther Crew 1944. The arm was resculpted and modified to sit nicely to the pose I wanted with Tamiya Epoxy, then the head was added from Verlinden German Character head set. Whole thing was primed with black Pylox ala Calvin Tan advice, Drybrushed in white and the story goes, 12 hours later....walla!
Tracks were painted flat brown, washed with pastel loaded grey and orange to get the look, then brushed with oily steel to get the wear to the top surfaces plus the steel road wheels, then washed again with pastel loaded burnt orchre to get the faded wear. Then the whole thing was dark earthed and buffed with a mist spray of Tamiya Acrylics.
Exhaust painted with black powder infiltrated flat brown to get crusty texture.
Pine leaves drying up are made from fern stolen from my neighbour! Shhhhh.
Chipes are done with sponge method and the trusty 3O from Escado with pastel loaded dark chocolate from Vallejo.
