![]() ![]() Using Panzer Putty, I now apply a mask to help me lay a ‘whitewash’ section down. With the masks removed, I felt the Red Brown I have applied earlier was a little bland, and recoloured these sections using Rotbraun from AMMO. Horizontal surfaces are lightened by mixing the base colour with German Sand Beige. More Blu Tack masks and the Dunkelgelb from Ammo is set in place. Given the cartoonish nature that I was looking for, I felt the straight Olivgrun was too dull. The yellow helped to lighten the colour and brighten it up. Using rolled up Blu Tack as a mask, a mix of Ammo Olivgrun and Yellow is applied. I wanted to build up a basic ambush scheme on the body of the tank. ![]() I focus on a downward motion to help add to the streaky look in the finished paintwork. I have kept the tow cables and some of the smaller parts off for the painting process.Ī very quick and basic pre-shade is applied now. Step by step guide: This is how I went about painting my World War Toons King Tiger.Īs with most of my builds, I begin by priming the kit in an Alclad white Primer. So, the plan was now to make my King Tiger, a white (Alpine) Tiger, but to try and tie it back to some type of credibility with a semi-plausible German camouflage scheme. I did, however, seem to have missed the boat with this, as I have seen a few in this style popping up on the internet, so a change of plan was required. I guess the most obvious cartoon-like interpretation on this model is to paint Tiger stripes on it…and that was the direction I was initially going to take. I certainly am not suggesting they shouldn’t be painted and weathered with care, but I feel, given the distorted proportions and cartoon-like nature of the model, the paintwork should follow suit. My philosophy with this WWT, or Egg tanks if want of a better term, has always been to not take them too seriously. I have heard nothing but good things about it…so I really should get around to having a go one of these days. ![]() Andy Moore's build article of the Tiger I & the M4 Sherman in the same sries Now, I guess I should state, that I don’t actually play the game that these kits have been derived from, so for the purists out there I am sorry if I am not paying homage to the game. ![]()
