OT. BTW, anybody here that doesn't do gundams? We need more Panzer lovers, and i seriously have a problem emulating zemerrit on my old konig tiger.

Would this make me l33t?



And they came with a whole bunch of stuffs with it:

Tiger Tank but not model kit. It's 1:18 pre-painted/assembled.

nice... would be better if you cantry custom paint too add some wear n tear/ weather effect to make it more realistic...

tamiya webiste have plenty of examples....

i might be venturing into the tank modelling soon.. since i saw in my place THE STORE now have model kit for tanks as well... quite cheap since its a China brand.. Kitech.

Maybe i'll give it a go

kuman

I have 1 elephant tank back in home town.....



dun have any with me now, beside dun have much time to sup em up....

1/6 action figures can join?

There's a couple of collectors here but there's no thread for them

guys anyone collecting Dragon Armor's 1/72 scale metal die cast tanks?

oh pls do post ur pics on 1/6 WWII figures
wif good pose

wanna share this, it is my friend's
i hope he dont mind
it's a B-17 Flying Fortress, it's really HUGE

i got one tamiya 1/35 tank which i bot 8 years ago. will post pics soon!@!@
but its destroyed tho.with missing armour plate and a detachable turret.

empire23,

Zimmerit here's some tips:
1) get a mini saw blade - the tip assembles the zimmerit pattern.
2) Epoxy putty - mix the 2 parts together and place them on your tank surface inch by inch. While doing that, use the saw blade and scribe the pattern onto the surpace of the epoxy.

to add effect, after drying, use a sharp object to break little parts of the zimmerit to assemble detached zimmerit, but don't over do this.

Hope this tip helps!

after i build a model, can I send it anywhere for an airbrush finish? i can afford to buy a compressor.... i wish i could have some nice airbrush finish on my tank.

If you are really taking this hobby to the next level, u should invest in a airbrush/compressor set! It's a MUST if you are serious in this hobby!

hey tats nice.... u know how much ?? wat scale ?

ok. i get it.

Here's some of my creations

How come i can't post my pictures here ah?

hey ? aren't there's a thread for figure ? i think u can join there leh

Whoaa...saw this great model of the Kingtiger for Battle of the bulge wan...damn nice...metal parts included. Metal gun too. Brass parts for super detail. Single track links...Every tank in the company that participated has a number and this kit has all of it...

Er...Kingtiger usually dun use zimmerit unless its the porsche version as its the late version. During the end of the war, the wehrmacht was on the retreat so zimmerit is of no use. They no longer take part in massive assaults but retreating. So to ambush enemies from long range, zimmerits not so favourable la...besides its additional weight on the tank.
