For the first time in ages I had a chance to get back in to some creative modelling so with airbrush in hand i set about paining my metal tracks and shading my Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger in prep for Drybrushing

Nigel,
Superb job, an airbrush in its element. You should put these pictures in the gallery as they are an excellent reference for anyone else trying similar jobs.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you get the tracks looking realistic. I get totally disheartened nowadays by the things I see in the Tamiya modelling magazine. Armoured vehicles especially look so unbelievably realistic I could never expect to get anywhere near the same effect and I end up feeling quite unworthy! | |

| Tracks are easy mine are metal as you know so i brushed them with a dirty brown wash then gave a quick sand with 1000 grade w&d to bring out the detail then a light blow over with a brown dust effect | |

I wish I could use an air brush, I bought one but totally screwed a model up with it so never used it again  | |

| Drybrushing
Righ started with the base colour then progressively lighter tones to white this is how she sits now ! Once another coat of varnish is added it will all tone down and blend in nicely | |
