Muchas gracias! Me alegra saber que te ha gustado el tutorial y que encontraste las explicaciones útiles. ¡Espero que te inspire a crear algo asombroso!

General greetings. I really liked your beautiful artistic painting work. Since you are recreating as real as possible a battle-worn Tiger, allow me to humbly add a couple of comments that I think are helpful in underlining the reality of tanks. First of all the tracks are not rusty at all in a working tank. The terrain with all its rocks, stones, pebbles and hard debris helps keep the tracks clean by preventing rust from accumulating. The second point concerns the massive use of chipping. I know it's a fabulous artistic technique for enhancing the visual effects of the paint job that we model makers are used to producing, but it's quite unrealistic on a tank's armor. Dirt, dust, grease and oil dots are much more realistic effects to use to replicate real life effects. Camouflage-colored chips are best suited to equipment or metal parts (not armor plates). This is not a criticism of your modeling techniques but just a note from an experienced tanker. Happy modeling

Hey, thank you very much and also thanks for your kind suggestions. I’m usually not a tank modeler, so feedback is appreciated as always. I wonder which technique I should use for the tracks? Any direction you can point me to? This time I looked pretty much at the artwork at the box, they also had this „rusty“ color on the tracks. That said, artworks are of course not the best reference but unfortunately there aren’t many colored photos from WWII. The chipping is indeed more of an artistic choice. That said, reference photos showed that the white paint was chipped away pretty much on the original subject, so I choose this method to replicate it somehow (others did it with chipping fluid, but that would caused much bigger chips at the end of the day). Again, your feedback is very much appreciated. Thanks for that.

General Greetings. Let me say that my suggestion comes from my experience as an tank crew memeber for more than 20 years. As for the chipping, the work you did on the winter camouflage is more than realistic since the white was rendered with washable paints that are less resistant than the original ones. Less realistic is instead chipping the armored plates painted with original schemes (desert yellow, olive green, German grey) as they are very resistant. Other metal parts in iron, aluminum etc. (tool boxes, equipment, etc.) can realistically be chipped. As for the tracks, they are made of special steel, so the spare ones are covered in (moderate) rust, while the running gears are not rusty. A more realistic way is to use a color obtained by mixing dark gray with a few drops of dark red as a base and then dotting the entire track with dark browns and dark grays to reproduce the different hue of the "used steel". The edge part and the inside ones where the wheels turn can be highlighted in silver as you have done realistically. I hope I have been of some help. Happy modelingoil

Again, thank you very much for your detailed writeup. I defensively will take this into consideration when doing my next tank, which unfortunately won’t be anytime soon, as I’ll concentrate more on aircrafts for the next few builds. But I’ve an Abrams tank in my stash, where I’ll try to make the tracks as you described. Regarding this, I guess some dust makes sense here (tank will have a desert camouflage)…?!

Ignore buddy. Fantastic piece of work. There's always one !!! I'd like to ask him about his service of 20 years ! whats his secret ? He's doing well considering his time in the Tiger was years ago. So he's doing well. Especially with his major expertise of this WORLD WAR TWO Tank. I ask as with him knowing EVERYTHING( very loose term) about the tank, then he was obviously there. Ignore my friend. You are a magician truly brill. Stay safe and hold your head high, brilliant.

Thank you. Oh well, probably not. It would indeed hurt stealth.

Did you base it on a refpic (reference picture)?

@GeneralPelleScaleModels

Ай бұрын

Not really. I usually don’t base my work on a single reference picture. I see scale modeling more of an art, rather than a replication of reality. That said, I use refpics from time to time to check the color of particular parts. For this build I didn’t use any, most pictures are black and white anyway and if they are in color, it’s not really accurate.

Those markings are nonsense.

Is that your voice?
