New Armortek owner .

Greetings everyone ! I too am anxiously awaiting delivery of a new late Tiger kit ! I've always been fascinated with tanks and radio controlled models . And I think this huge 1/6 all metal Tiger is going to be just about the ultimate ! Going to beat the heck out of my 1/16 Heng Longs and Tamyias ! Though I'm not completely new to modeling , I've never detailed and weathered tank models to the degree that I've seen looking on this machine , I do have one question . What medium is being used to simulate weld beads on the armor plating ? And I would be thankful for tips on weathering and any other advise given . TANKS alot . Steve .

Most of the welds are done with milliput. There is a link somewhere on the forum to a tutorial. Just getting close to finishing my Late Tiger. You will love it. I messed around with a couple of henglongs myself. Once you get started on the Armortek you will be hooked.

Hi Steve

Welcome to the fun! Congratulations on your late Tiger I.

Over here, Epoxy Scupt is a more common two part epoxy putty that is easy to find at hobby and craft stores. Or at

1/4 lb set goes a long way. For a weld-tool, simply grind a small brass tube (1/8 inch) at a shallow angle.

Best regards and Merry Christmas
Tim

Thanks Tim . So I gather you apply a thin band of material and work it with a tool . From looking at pictures I would have guessed the use of something like a caulking gun or suringe like thing . Oh so much to learn . Thank you all for any and all advise , steve
