Abt 503

White Tiger's White Tiger Winter11

Abt 505 (there is a painting stencil available for the interesting unit emblem on the turret0

I like Option one! What colors would i need tamiya wise? I am thinking these paints might do it?

Base:XF-63 German Gray
Mask off Camo Pattern (some stripes?)
Spray: TS27 Matt White
Wash: Light Brown or Watered down black
Wheels:Grey with white\rust weathering?
Tracks: matt Black of some sort????
Seal:Clear Flatt?

Also i am going to need a commander with an officers cap & To pick my own tank number.... 88 (year i was born) i was told might be an offensive number for some reason o.O so perhaps i should go with 117 (Since i screwed up my WoT account name due to miss reading carious tank number)

For tracks, I mix a bunch of flat black XF-1, Hull Red XF-9 and a hint of Metallic Grey XF until it looks right; not to scientific Embarassed

Dry brush the high spots with XF-56 and spray with several coats of Rustoleum Frosted Glass (clear).

We need to get Stince and Airbrusher in on this, oddly, I am a bit more "seat of the pants"on this, they might be better at explaining the methodology.

No rush, i have to strip my test models first anyhow -_- and i just noticed my jerk of an older brother used up 2 jugs of simple green i bought for when i do commission painting for people that required a model stripping.

Also is it cheaper to order tamiya paints online anywhere? Locally the guy marks things up from to $8 bucks for a small pot because he thinks no one notices -_-

Why worry about number 88 being offensive, while you have a Nazi officer as your profile picture?

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

we pay too much for things in Canada.

I buy 23 ml containers of Tamiya acrylic just across the border (for me) in Niagara Falls NY for just over $2.00, about what the local shop in Canada sells the 10 ml for.

Then they wonder why we go to the U.S. or buy on line; I would like to support the locals, but we are getting hosed, here.

Hosed is an understatement Horse $#(@ed is more like it. Sadly to go across the boarder here into blaine takes so long it isn't worth it -_- Online shopping here i come.

Sounds like a good plan, I don't mind paying my fair share, but it sounds like your local guy wants you to pay someone else's share, too Shocked

i don't use any Tamiya paints they are all acrylic dollar store paints and i usually airbrush but they could be drybrushed on i use a tan colour mix a bit of black and brown just to dirty it up a little on the edge i mix a bit of orange with brown or maroon to mix a rust colour and i brush it on the edges of the tracks and then go in with a bit of silver

Well small problem lads.......My airbrush kinda sucks for anything but basecoating so any suggestions on how the bloody hell i should do a winter white wash? The tank is already in this scheme anyone got suggestions? As things sit i might try to just mist 80\20 thinner & paint over it to to give a snow covered look......

You don't need an airbrush to do a white wash, just brush.

When the Germans applied in the field, it was with a mop and rags. It was also meant to come off in the spring, so it was general slopped on.

AKA:Take big brush, Put white stuff, Profit?

(Any suggestions on how to make the wash? This Mig stuff smells terrible and seems to do nothing)
