Title: OSTPREUSSEN 194X (updated 05/03)
Post by: ghpainting on January 27, 2016, 02:43:51 PM: Hello fellow members,
It has been 9 years since my last post... where time goes???
Never the less i m back with a new project, it will involve hucking, cutting, shaving and other nasty staff hopefully nothing that my old trusted putty can't fix.

It took me a while to find the correct positioning of the upper torso and hands but now the figure is ready for some putty work.

I use ProCreate. It has less memory than GS and can be sanded, filed or shaved more easily.

Post by: ghpainting on March 05, 2016, 04:00:26 PM: Thank you gents. Not in the mood of sculpting i desided to do some modeling. The only model i had in 1/56 was an early Tiger I diecast from Hobby Master that since i found that there was one early Tiger i in Berlin in 1945 fited my late war battlegroupe. Then i started searching for an appropriate camo sceme and found this beautiful beast :
http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/german/tiger1_jungdonghyun.html

So instead of just painting a new camo desided to do a more serious modeling , strip the beast naked and bring the detail of the diecast to a more acceptable standards while firm enough to withstand wargaming.

The model after removing all the track fenders and side mounted track cables
