Hi,
I'm working on the DML 1/72 Sturmtiger.
All is OOB except for the zimmerit.
First photo is basic kit layout. Fit is very good, and after I got
used to the metal hull progress went quickly.
I really like the tracks, though metal pins were used to get a
little sag, otherwise they are quite tight in appearance.
Next pic is primed with some zimmerit. For the zimm I use Squadron white putty thinned with finger nail polish remover and apply the trowel marked with a 2mm screwdriver.
This one shows basic camo applied and track pinned. All is still dry fit at this point.
To dull and scale the finish I used a mix or brown and black very, very thin using Acryl airbrush cleaner as a thinner.
The next four show my first pass at weathering this one using pastels both dry brushed and I used a new technique I read about on TL, in which I airbrushed on pastel colored thinner. It didn't work as well for me as mixing water and pastel and letting it dry and then removing, which is where I started. All was cleaned up and blended with dry brushing and then hit with a flat coat. Details will be added and picked out next.
Please hook me up with comment and advice, this is only my third AFV so I could use the help...
Cheers,
Christopher
