Tamiya 1/35 Leopard A4

[spanner570]

During my U. Boat build, I've been quietly beavering away at this too.

I've brushed on two coats of Vallejo Model Air acrylics. It might need a third, I'll check later.


Here's the cheapo flat headed brush I used. I modified it with my scalpel to help me do the 'bendy' pattern....

What I find great fun is trying to get the camo. flowing down in a continuous pattern from turret to hull. At first, I started to follow the suggested pattern on the rear end, but to be honest, I gave up and just went my own way with the rest of the model.....It's my model, anyway, so there - !

Here's the result....

I hope you like the model so far. Next I'll fix all the 'bits' to it. There is also a standing figure with the model, so I have him to tackle too.

Cheers,

Thanks Ian.
I'm very happy with the result. Particularly, as I broke my own rules and painted the darker shade first ( I had thought to leave it all green) and struggled a bit when I brushed on the lighter colour.

I've finished this tank. Thanks for your comments along the way.

It's over in 'Armoured vehicles completed'.
