1:35 Italeri Tiger I Ausf. E

If you have a look on WWW.krieg-hammer.blogspot.com there are other images there and a wee spill about using salt to create a chipped paint effect...

Got the camera issue sorted...... So just blitzed the rest of the model. Up until the stage before I apply decals and try some weathering. I thought, best idea to have the model almost at factory finish stage with 'new' cable tows fixed, tools etc and some light rubbing with a dry brush using Vallejo oily steel on 'new' tracks. Still some touching up to do and splashes from the air brush (yes still need to get better at it) but I can hopefully hide that with pigments and what not..... The salt grains are still attached and I will probably chip them off with a tooth pick before applying a clear gloss coat to seal the acrylic paint in. Some of the pics, you can some of the salt has fallen off already, so gives an idea of how it may turn out.

Very nice Hammer, you've really made a silk purse out of a pig's ear mate. Can't wait to see her all weathered.

Have fun, John

Ok... so next I picked up the chips of salt to reveal a chipped paint effect...

Applied gloss varnish, applied decals, applied more glass varnish left for 3 days or so then applied an Oil wash all over with very thinned out Wash Brown 502 Abteilung oil paint.... Latest pics.. Any tips would be most welcome. Looking to maybe put a flat varnish on it next then a pin wash. Still trying to work out how to best use Tamiya buff to fade the paint..

The latest so far.....Added some MIG Pigments for rust and dust. Tried a dab

hand at the tracks too. I feel I am still missing something. I am not sure

whether to try and use Tamiya buff along the sides for a further dust effect or

so. This is the first time at 1:35 scale armour modelling and having a try at

all the techniques that are posted on here. What are your thoughts?
