Bowcat's 1/35 Tamiya King Tiger for Simon

[Mr Bowcat]

Thanks Colin.

I've given it an overall wash of a lightish brown so far which helps tone down the Dunkengelb a bit and helps highlight the Zimmerit. I will be following up with a more localised darker brown pin wash on panel lines, rivets, etc, and some chipping effects. Will post more pics over the weekend when that is done.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning gents,

I got a lot of weathering done over the weekend. This mainly consisted of some light chipping, a darker pin wash around the lumps and bumps, some pigments on the exhausts and some minor streaking.

I've held off on applying mud at this stage until I've sorted a base out so that it can be tied together.

On to the figures next.

Coming along really nicely Bob. Looking forward to seeing the figures. Hope you had a great festive period

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Steve.

Like most Christmas turned out to be a fairly quiet affair, but enjoyable none the less.

The figures and bike are almost done, just need a matt coat and some dry brushing then will post pics.

Oooh don't put too much mud on it and cover all that great weathering Bob, I use mud to hide my mistakes. Can't see any on this.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers John.

I'm thinking going relatively light on the mud. Maybe a Summer/Autumn base.
