      Tamiya 1/35 Tiger - single track links

      After my moan I`ve changed my mind on the single track links tbh , getting them off the sprues and cleaning up was a chore but fitting them was quite easy and relaxing , the only draw back is waiting for them to cure before I can start the other side,

      A little dio is planned so started on a few figures , still got a lot to do with skin tones touching up picking out details etc etc although the photo shows the highlights big time I`m hoping when given a wash they will tone down a bit , still very much experimenting with figures

      Looking real good Rich,

      I have a 1/16 scale get to do and its tank crew. Your crew looks good. Im waiting for a delivery this week of two books and a DVD on how to paint figures. I have never done this before but i think with the right info i might do a nice job.

      Keep the pics coming mate.

      I'm glad you persevered with the tracks, they really do look the best and I bet you got a real buzz when you saw them in place.

      Looking good Richy, when i did my King Tiger i really enjoyed doing the single track links, infact loved it that much i had to have the crew repairing the tracks just to show them off. Is this the Tamiya Tiger mate? I've got three Tigers in my stash, 1 Academy, 2 Italeri but the look's like a very nice kit.

      Have fun, John

      Figures looking good. Really like the subtle camo on the tank though, very nicely done.

      I've lost it Richy, just noticed the title mate sorry. It says Tamiya blonde moment.

      Hi Richy
      Nice work with the tracks. Also noticed the Zimm, did you apply that with the tamiya tool or is it etch?
      Looking good so far!
      Cheers

      Cheers guys , trying to catch up , a lot going on at work and with moving home at the moment , managed to do a it at the weekend but its hard to keep track whats going on with the forum at the moment , small update tracks are on and looking good I would be more than happy to use single links again without a doubt , Graham - searched the web for tiger colours and found many camo configurations although 99% were black and white photos - may not be 100% accurate but it looks good to me mate as for the figures bit more to do on the skin tones but the uniform details have been done and in my eyes my best effort yet , Paul - zimm is etch although easy to do I`m not that happy with it it looks too neat if you know what I mean (next time I`m gonna do my own and that won`t be neat I promise you)

      Hope to get some more photos up at the weekend

      once again cheers Lads , John I`m sure its in the scalemodels contract that we have to have at least 3 blonde moments each a year mate
