Beowulf's King Tiger, Airfix, Braille scale

[PaulTRose]

sorry for dodgy pic

current state of play.....

been painted, glossed ready for decals and a black wash, which is why its shiny...still getting used to new airbrush but i think it will sort it self out when it gets a wash and matt coat

not going to try to paint the tools........first cos my eye/hand steadiness aint good enough in this scale.......secondly from what ive read they wouldnt have removed the tools, just sprayed over the top, if they were doing it in the field

Coming along very well Paul.
I find most models go through a horrible looking stage especially the gloss looking stage.

Nice spray job

Paint already? Haven't we got 3 months on this GB?
Looking good Paul

black enamel wash didnt go as planned, left it looking a bit 'grubby' which might not be a bad thing

had a matt clear coat on top which has toned it all down

next step is the tracks and some mud

Paul
That camo looks great I’m going to learn how to do that very soon

A nice little build Paul. I take it that is an old Matchbox base. Nice to see you using your "green" credentials and recycling. I will pop over and see the final shots

Nice finish Paul, looks good on the base.
