DML Tiger I

Re: DML Tiger I Update

Things that are good :
Mailman brings grilles to your doorstep.
Learning new words that you have made during a fight with smoke dischargers.
Winning that fight.
Getting a few other things done before you start with tracks.

Things that are bad : :angry:
Finding out that the work gang has put your drive sprockets together and are 1
tooth out of alignment.

The razor saw is your friend.

Update:
After initial paint went on I added a lightened coat on the horizontal surfaces and then the dry transfers. Good
Needed to change turret numbers and will use kit decals for those, so.... gave turret sides a coat of Future and get
ready for the decal session. Find slight run in the future :angry: give it a light sand and repaint. Backed up a step but on
track again. This one won't be done for the show tomorrow but its still kicking! Pic's to follow.

HEEL!, Oh orbiting pooch.
The lightened pic's...

Forgot to get a shot of the run. Transfered, sanded, repainted, refutured.

My JSU didn't score at the show, but I picked up a couple kits and the other at another
dealer.

Turret Number decals on. Micro set/sol used very lightly. Right side discolored :angry: .
Looks like its just in the future. I can still fix this.

I hate decals a little more than roadwheels.
Seems like decals never had problems when I was a kid....... :hmmm

That's why I switched to dry transfers.

Shoot it with more future or flat- it should disappear. Unless that's silvering- just touch up with a bit of brushwork. Nice Tiger!

 

[Gunfighter45]

Just hit the Tiger with another coat of future. Spots gone!!

Mike B)

Fido, I'll second the dry transfers.

Good deal

Use the Modelers' Alliance Gallery, it will resize the pix for you automaticagorally and you post from there.
