Dan Jayne Memorial Jagdtiger
1March 14, 2017Myself and Judy. She was nice, and had many stories to tell about Dan's conversions and attention to detail.
2March 14, 2017sorry for the tilt. this is Dan jayne's desk and the kit, boxed up for transit.
3March 15, 2017I've now done some work on the kit. Here i have first laid down a red primer coat, then added the photo etch engine screens, along with the main gun. I sourced a metal barrel from an existing kit, and sanded off the old paint to make way for the new.
4March 20, 2017Used a method of chipping i discovered on youtube. as you can see by the next array of photos, the red has been chipped through the yellow quite nicely.
5March 20, 2017I've accented the chips with some metallic paint, to give them the appearance of depth.
6March 20, 2017the problem with this technique is that the chips aren't in any way planned, nor are they easy to remove gently.
7March 20, 2017each time i look at this model i find more chips i missed. i will remember to take pictures next time before i paint.
8March 20, 2017the back deck will largely be covered, so i refrained from chipping as much back here.
9March 21, 2017all the bits and bobs are now ready. Decals on, and chipped. weathering to continue, and detail painting.
10March 22, 2017she's ready for tracks!
11March 24, 2017And the tracks are on!
12March 24, 2017weathering to start almost immediately
13March 24, 2017looks a little bare, but that's only because it's not weathered yet. next few pictures will be of tools.
14March 27, 2017And she's finished! I forgot to take pictures of my tools and such as i went, sorry. I just decided to spend all day finishing her up
15March 27, 2017my first model with a bucket! i will be working on bucket rust as time goes on.
16March 27, 2017i like the way the tracks turned out. sometimes the brush-applied flat aluminum looks artificial. it doesn't this time.
17March 27, 2017streaking is an inexact science, and it's often tough to know when to stop. I feel comfortable with what i did on this.
18March 27, 2017i know fire extinguishers aren't red when externally mounted, well, i like the color variation red provides.
19March 27, 2017the chipping really looks good after all the stuff gets put on. i like it.
20April 3, 2017Finally got it into a decent photo shoot!
21April 3, 2017at certain angles, the pipe looks like a log. IT'S A PIPE.
22April 3, 2017The base was inherited from a pile of boards Judy brought for us to dig through. i use it for display purposes.
