The tinpot tiger😉

Hunter Cummins
Exactly what I thought😉

John Van Kooten
Good luck, Hunter! 👍 👍 👍

I will be following your progress. I have not done any monotone panzers before either, so maybe I'll pick up some interesting techniques along the way 👍 🙂

Matthias Weiss
Ohhh a VK1601!!

Rarely seen on the battle fields of World of Tanks I might put one onto my work bench instead as well....😉

If it wasn´t the weak gun, this might have been a pretty good tank.

Hunter Cummins
John,
glad to have you here😉 I am looking on the internet now
Matthias ,
I do agree very much cant wait to build it

Matthias Weiss
Welcome back, Hunter! Looks very good, I like your mini Tiger.

Hunter Cummins
Gutentag Matthias
I did camo. Dont like it to much :/ cant do color modulation either. I think its my airbrush

Matthias Weiss
Mahlzeit Hunter

Not sure if camo was the right choice. That thingy should be Panzergrey...
Anyway, show us some pics, dude!

Hunter Cummins
At aunts for christmas lol stillno wifi at house.
These were used in 1943 for reconosince so all ist klar!!

Fabian D.
Moin😉
so better not eat too much... I did yesterday. Can somebody roll me over? Have to get to the the next up for the next meal 😄
I guess it's about practice with every airbrush, maybe you've got a notch too much on this or that.... With some airbrushes it's easier to achieve constant results, with some it's more difficult. It should be possible with most of them. Maybe it's easier for you to mask the cammo?

Matthias Weiss
I´m rolling with you, Fabian. Had a Thai-style crab in curry souce yesterday...

Anyway, don´t worry too much Hunter. There´s nothing that can not be oversprayed again... 😉

Hunter Cummins
Thanks guys.
Fabian, I will need to be rolled out to lol tooooooooo much to eat lol I saw adam wilders vidwo on it and he is not very good on what colors to use and thinning ratio. But my paschee doesnt spray like adams either. When I open it up fully, it sputters and leaves little paint blobs until the paint setttles and sprays out to much paint at once aswell. I hope me iwata isnt like that 🤔

Fabian D.
Sounds like the problem I had with the Ak and Mig colours. Tiny dots everywhere, which united eventually to a wet, thick but smooth surface.
It might be that you can remove some kind of needle protection cup, where small amounts of paint can accumulate and that create this splattering. I'm currently still involved in Christmas celebrations, but I guess I can explain that better in a few hours😉

Fabian D.
This one: [img1] (If your airbrush has one...)

Hunter Cummins
I will try that once iget home thanks fabian 🙂
Did you get zusekiten? Or did you get a stick in your shoe😉

Fabian D.
Süßigkeiten (sweets)? I shurely got too much of them, although you´re at that time mostly eating "Plätzchen" and "Lebkuchen".
Traditionally (at least as I grew up) the "stuff in the shoes day" is December 6th. When St. Nikolaus gives small presents, or sweets to the childeren. Those are either in you shoes or handled to you by someone who looks just like your uncle, but has a white beard and a red coat on😉
If you´ve been naughty you might fear "Kencht Ruprecht" who accompanies the Nikolaus, he is the one with the rod/stick...
On Christmas (evening of Dec. 24th) you have no physical pain to fear, presents are brought to you by the "Christkind" which can´t be seen, but rings a bell when all presents are there.
In the recent years (at least I got the feeling) the "Weihnachtsmann" took over quite a lot, wich I can´t quite understand. While he is just like your Santa, he has alsways been portrayed as a fat old man, the Christkind always appears as a beautiful young lady😉 😄

Hunter Cummins
Lol I heard the whole story in deutsch klasse lol (im still bad at spelling lol) imguessing you have had no worries over the years? Lol I agree with you on the fact that weihnachtsmann has tooken over but what can you do about it haah

Matthias Weiss
Guten Morgen.
My boss this year had to tell his little ones that there is no Santa Claus or Weihnachtsmann and no Christkind. That was a pretty bad day for the 2 boys as both were worried about not getting gifts. But you know what they told him: Daddy you lied to us, lying is not allowed! So basically it doesn't matter if Santa Claus, Weihnachtsmann or Christkind, they all have their stories and for kids they are important.

So Hunter, boy, did Santa leave you a Iwata??

Hunter Cummins
No my uncle got me that on my 14th birthday (this year on febuary fourth 2014) lol but for christmas, I got a trupeter ISU 152, and an AFV Club Churchil MK. III AVRE. and 120 usd wirth of new mig ammo paints, paint sets, pigments, nature effectsand the who shabang lol plus money lol

Hunter Cummins
How about you Matthias? Was santa good to you ??

Matthias Weiss
So now I know where Santa left all the nice gifts. Looks like he unloaded his sack just above your home before he came over to tell me that there´s nothing left for me... 🙁

OK OK, that not completely right, I made myself a gift and bought this rare little baby here:
scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=120604

And yesterday I ordered some stuff for my next project, Tamiya´s M8 HMC:
scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=215765
scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=224508
+ a tank supplies set from Italeri.

And for the Bedford QLD from IBG:
scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=107726

+ some Vallejo paints to get into figure painting. And some tools like hand drill, a fine saw, stuff like that.

So all in all not bad Christmas.

Hunter Cummins
Looks like you made out man. I am trying to do color modulation so I am now getting some modulation sets lol

Matthias Weiss
I have some already. One for Russian armour and one for American vehilces. Both from Vallejo.
Pretty easy to use, I can recommend them.

Hunter Cummins
Post some pictures ?? I am getting the mig ammo stuff as it works better for me through the airbrush

George Bacon
Looking good Hunter👍

Arne Greve
Now Christmas is over. As a family father, I received no much. Only a basket for my bike. But it was joy for me, to saw the light in the eyes of my children, as they saw there gifts from Santa. And it was a joy too, that they believe in Santa.
But now, we start to new frontiers. Happy new year in almost 17 hours.

Hunter Cummins
Thanks george. I have finally gotten a look that I like and I think it looks awesome. Tried some new products will post some pictures when done 🙂

and dave. Tyanks for looking in! Im trying to get better pictures up

Hunter Cummins
All new

Fabian D.
Bit foggy in your man cave.😉 But it looks cool.
(Just a hit, I guess you´re taking the photos with a mobile device: Clean the lens, move a bit away from the object or switch on macro if you have. Hold the device as best as you can, rest your arms if possible. If that´s not helping enable the self timer, it prevents shaking while pressing the trigger. You can take astonishing good pohtos with those nowerdays.)

Matthias Weiss
And there he is, Hunter is back! Looks good! What's wrong with the camo, I like it!

Holger Kranich
Very sad that the pix are not so good... Is it the HobbyBoss kit? And i see a Kingtiger arise on your bench! 👍

Matthias Weiss
🙂 Maybe Hunter is copying your StarTiger, Holly... 🙂
