Under a tenner 1/72 TigerTiger

aaron · Jan 28, 2015

First gb I've participated in, definitely good motivation to get a build finished. In fact this is the fastest ive built a kit. The only problem I have with doing 1/72 kits instead of my usual 1/35 is that I've got no more of them in my stash...for now.

What a cracker! I'd really struggle with 1/72, well, in the build stage at least!

Awesome work Aaron you would never think this is a 1/72 kit

dubster72 · Jan 28, 2015

A very good build Aaron! The weathering blends in the camo to give a realistic look & making 1/72 armour look like a bigger scale is an art

I'd love to know where you guys down under can get Dragon kits under £10 - retail in the UK is £20+ :sad:

Nice work, the weathering makes it look almost real.

I got it from b.n.a models an Australian online store mate, clearance sale 20% off I think. Mad deal considering it came with 5 fantastic figures.

Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated.

Tiny tiny tiny Tiger...I would've guessed what the scale was if it wasn't for the lighter.

Great weathering...deserves an Iron Cross first class.

I keep coming back and looking at this tank :cool:

........ Its got a better back end than Kim Kardashian

John Rixon · Jan 30, 2015

What chipping method did you use on the back end? Am planning to paint my Tamiya Churchill in winter camo, and want it to look pretty scarred! Am tempted to try the Hairspray method, any tips?

Snowman · Jan 30, 2015

That, is a mini marvel!!

Great work!! :D

I used a sponge and AK rust effects, here's a vid too get the chipping juices flowing.
