What A Tanker!
Tiger 1.
Lloyd shot.Might be able to get a game soon. If my local gaming club opens soon again as planned. Probably didn’t need to make a Tiger, (never played the game before, juicy on points etc.) but it’s iconic and I tried to rescue this from the black primer I gave it… Still on the sprue. I must have been so worried about missing bits that I went to those lengths. I hit the assembled piece with Plastic Soldier Company Late War German Dunkelgelb spray and then did a highlight from above with Army Painter Desert Yellow. Then I used a home made A4 sheet as a stencil for my pattern. I wish I had used my normal masking with Blu Tak, but I thought the tank was too big for that. Over the stencil I used Army Painter Leather Brown. It came out OK, but I went around the edges of the pattern with a Wyldwood Contrast. This was too shiny so I used some Agrax Earthshade to dampen it down, but with is where the whole paint job got to a stage where it was never going to be my best paint job. If I had stuck to the spray and gone straight to weathering it might have turned out better. As it is… It’s table ready, the tank commander is average and I have lost the love to fight it into a better paint job. I think the black primer on the sprue fated this model not to be my best work.
