Re: John's Late Tiger 1
I was planning on trying a few tests on zimmerit for the turret but got impatient and decided to just go for it. I'm using milliput so no going back.

Re: John's Late Tiger 1
Thanks guys for the nice comments. I was trying to get the different texture to the turret zimmerit. Should have practiced first as towards the end I think I was getting yhe hang of it. Paint is just a base coat spray. Still to add zim to view ports.

Re: John's Late Tiger 1
Hi John.
Looking good all round mate, the missing zimm is catching on it adds an extra dimension to the paintwork or at least thats what I think the times I have done it.
Well done anyway its looking the bizz.
Cheers Paul

Re: John's Late Tiger 1
Missing zimm is also useful if you are running low on milliput.

Re: John's Late Tiger 1
Well yes I have used that ploy as well, especially on my King Tiger where I was running out of time fast for the show.
