Tamiya Tiger & Hanomag


Recommended Posts

Hi guys...

I just noticed the addition of this new section to our beloved website... at any rate, I'd like to share with you my two Dio's that got me back into model building after an almost 20 year break...

Here is the Tamiya 1/35 Tiger Dio... entitled "LOST". I know it's not that great and certainly not that realistic in terms of weathering and all but I really like how it turned out. All items are Tamiya except for the base and bricks and ground stuff... all scratch built...

Hey Mike and Moritz... thank you both.

As for the foilage... hehe.. well the tree itself (the stems) are from Baby's Breath... it's a flowering plant that has alot of angles similar to trees and shrubs in our scale. The foilage on it is actually dried parsley leave that you buy from your local grocery store... First I painted the tree, then put white glue in areas I wanted the leaves to stick to, then dipped the tree in a bag of these dried parsley leaves. After that I just aircrushed it a bit here and there and touched up with paint ;-)

The tall grass is modelling grass... and the fine underfoot grass is Static Grass (this stuff is awesome). Lots of different rocks, stones and such from a local hobby shop...

I should have taken progress shots :-(
