Tiger 1 Africa Corps

[gurkanozkan]

This is tamiya 1/48 . A hard and enjoyable model

The wheels and tracks were really hard to do

At last I finished the model, it took 5 days, totally 10-15 hours

I painted it by brush, 3 thin layers, vernich and oil paint. At last some pigments

I tried to create one of 3 tigers which first arrive Tunusia in 1942

Thanks for comments.

I have to thank Kamil Felix Strazbala, ı have seen his tiger model years ago, and its a great reference for me

Nice work gurkanozkan. Some nice weathering, and I like that squashed exhaust shroud at the back. The wheels and tracks seem to have come out well.

I thank all of you. I appriciate your beautiful comments.

Sandbags are made by Das model clay. I covered by acrilic paint.

In fact The figure waving is a Japan airbase crew ) I couldnt find a 1/48 german soldier right now, ı have to use that

The flag is paper towel.

Top work! I really like the weathering and battle damage you've created.

 

[aaron]

Das huh.I havevsome of that but i cant stop it cracking when dry.How do you counter cracks?

 

[gurkanozkan]

Tony, Alex youre so kind, thank you

Aaron, I didnt have a problem about cracking. I add some water to das model clay. Maybe it helps me. Look at this photo, ı did this vignette with a huge amounth of das clay nearly 3 months ago. But theres no problem on it.

 

[aaron]

Ill add a little water next time i use das. Nice kv btw.

Lovely job

i love the damage and weathering, love the attention to detail, i just wish i could paint as well

 

[gurkanozkan]

Thank uou Dweller

You can do better, there are really good modellers in this forum. Im just an amateur

 

[andygh]

Lovely Tiggy, great job

A bit of PVA mixed with the DAS will stop it cracking
