1:48 Afrika Tiger

Hi all.
Here's my latest completed build. Built purely OOB, this is Tamiya's brilliant 1:48 scale Tiger I.
An absolute dream to build. It literally went together over a weekend.

The fun part of this project was the painting and weathering.
After the base coat, I used the modulation technique to give the paint some life.

Fading was done using oils and followed by some washes and filters.
I used Mig Pigments to add the dust but kept it to a minimum, trying to preserve as much of the paint work effects as possible.

All in all, had a load of fun with this one.
For anyone interested in a complete SBS of the painting and weathering process, you can find it here: Tiger Painting Blog

Thanks for loooking.

  3. Did you know there is a 12 word phrase you can communicate to your man... that will induce intense emotions of love and impulsive appeal to you buried inside his chest?

    Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, treasure and care for you with all his heart...

    ====> 12 Words Will Fuel A Man's Love Instinct

    This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will drive him to work harder than ever before to love and admire you.

    Matter of fact, triggering this dominant instinct is so important to achieving the best ever relationship with your man that once you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

    ...You'll immediately find him open his mind and heart to you in a way he's never experienced before and he'll identify you as the one and only woman in the universe who has ever truly interested him.
