German Steel: Tamiya Jagdtiger
 

Good evening all,

I've been primarily a figure painter, so this is my first real go at a tank. It's the first time I've really ever used an airbrush as well. I'm in the process of working on a tank for a contest. Any feedback on this journey would be much appreciated!

Here's a progression of where I'm at so far...

I'm not done with the highlights yet; that'll come tomorrow. Still getting used to fading and modulation techniques though.

All the best,

Jake

Very nice start.
Good Luck with the contest.
Thank you.

Very impressive for a first go around, what amazes me is that you are doing color modulation on a first go around, something I havent even tried yet. Looking forward to seeing more,

Great looking beast,must get me one

Thanks! I'm out to try new things. I figure the sooner I throw myself into it, the faster I get the grasp of it.

Color modulation complete; just need to add weathering and details and finish off with a clear coat of clear yellow followed by chipping and mud effects.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I spent the evening working on chipping effects and only got through ONE side of the beast. I'll try to finish up more tonight and post pics before I do more pin-washing and some additional filters. Then it's onto details and accessories and I should be in the home stretch.

It's currently a little too yellow for my taste, but I'm sure it'll tone down with the slew of washes and such.

All the best,

Jake

Jake, your JP is looking really nice.:thumb: Looking forward to more.

Gary

Well more you shall get!

Finished modulation, added some filters and did some chipping effects. I'll be doing detail work, pin-washes, rust/grime effects next.

I'm hoping to have this done by the end of the weekend!
