I want to share with us one of my past works. I hope you like it!. Tamiya 1/35 -Voyager Photoetched and tracks of Friulmodels Blitzkrieg! - Greece 1941 Painting: 1.- I started to paint. First I applied the white color as coat base because grey over the plastic grey not is very recommendable 2.- Painted the model with grey-panzer Decals: Of the kit using "Micro Sol" before to add the decals and "Micro Set" for fix them. Detailing and Weathering: I applied during three days 3 filters and the results was a little change in the color, please check the following pics with the previous before of the filters. The tools were painted too. I Added a little impact on the front fender. Filters: I used turpentine spirit 95% mixed with humbrol 5% - 1st. dark earth (gloss) #10 - 2nd. matt iron-grey # 92 and 3rd. matt steel grey # 87. Tools: Jack, metal bars, metal box and hooks with Humbrol mettalic gunmetal # 53, wooden bars and box with matt white # 34 first and over it leather brown # 62 and finally the tweezers with Vallejo orange-brown # 981 I made a weathering in the hull and surface using a mixed of turpentine spirit and oils. In the chassis and wheels was added a mix of white pigments and Mr. Surfacer 1000 of Gunze for make a dry earth. For the tracks I used Metalcotte black (special for the metal pieces) and after dry I added a light touch of leather brown of Humbrol and painted with Vallejo chocolat-brown. Finished with airbrush of Tamiya's buff and flat-earth. Pigments on the muflers Regards! Rodolfo

Great work, the detail of the tank going up the hill is excellent! Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments @Jeff . Normally I paint the wheels and tools for separate, sometimes not. I am returning to build again after of 4.5 years and I commeted one mistake with the front of this Tiger. All we have talent, it is only patience and relax NOTE: Sorry, I forgot to remove the front support for tracks, remove now is to destroy the front and re-start again , I prefer to use adding the tracks . I proceeded to make a light wash with "matt trainer yellow" Humbrol #24 thinned with Enamel Thinner of Humbrol. As you see, the colour has been changed satisfactorily to the color I was looking for.. Next step: Weathering. Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments Phil!. More pics! Details of tools, wheels and tracks!. I will retouch 1 tool. Next step: Coat of Satin Varnish of Vallejo and Decals. I do not recommend using matt varnish because it can whiten the model. Using the satin varnish is better because the washes "runs" for better down or where you want the filters Regards! Rodolfo

Super-sherman, nice version; I like Tamiya, the quality is always very good!. Excellent WIP. Regards! Rodolfo

Hello friends! More pics!. Ready the paint work, I mixed Duck-egg-green 75% + Tank green 25% of Vallejo: Next step - I will detail the tools, wheels and tracks! Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comment Martin!. Here is the first application of painting using for shades "tank-green" of Vallejo. Applied "tank-green" of Vallejo in all surface without affect the shades. Regards! Rodolfo

Yes, I will add them before to start the weathering. I corrected some imperfections using Putty of Vallejo and adding some rough surface above of the turrer for the weathering. Regards! Rodolfo

Hello friends! Before to start the paint, I applied a coat of Surface Primer of Vallejo. Regards! Rodolfo

Ready for paint!. I have built this Italieri Tiger in simple form without complications in order to recover my "sleeping skills", hee,hee. Conclusion: I will need more patience than before and more attention to detail in my next project. Next step: I will see how I am in the matter of painting. I have checked my compressor and it is okay and my airbrush apparently fine after of 4.5 years without use. Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks my friend!. I will build another projects before of this. Regards! Rodolfo

Thanks for your kind comments!. @Bomber_County - In my computer I can see the pics very good, but maybe is because I am using pics uploaded in my site. More pics of my work: Tools mounted without problems, except the extinguisher that I placed in oposite side. Beginning the turret with bad luck, in one side plentiful scratches and holes, and the other side is normal. In order to solve this I used Plastic Putty of Vallejo. Regards! Rodolfo
