Looks good, can you link to this technique?

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos
Really Nice finish. Hope mine will reach this fabulous level.

Ingmar Stöhr
Thank you mates!
You'll find a more detailed description including some links to OPR technique here:

@Ricardo: Come on! You build great models and I'm sure yours will even look better than mine!

Dave Flitton
Is it missing a roadwheel in the front?

H K
Yes 🙂 The first roadwheel was often removed because mud built up between it and the drive sprocket.

Dave Flitton
Ah, OK, just wondering. It looked kind of weird without it. At least it brings up a conversation about it. It does look nice though.

Ingmar Stöhr
As HK said, it was due to mud build up. You can see it in a lot of pictures. It is so common that Tamiya included the necessary parts.

Holger Kranich
Always a pleasure to watch this! What did you said, how Long took you the build? Plus painting?

Gerald
Schöne Arbeit 👍

Ingmar Stöhr
Danke!
Holger: I build it during Faszination Modellbau. That would be three days for the unpainted model. I guess I did not work on it the whole three days. The Panzer 38(t) in the same scale was finished after one Saturday of modeling from maybe 10:00 to 20:00. So those are true weekend kits (except painting). Can't remember how long that took me. But as far as I remember I had the model and base ready for our next club meeting which would be exactly one month of time. But I certainly did not spend all that time on it. Maybe 2-3 evenings playing around with the OPR technique. Plus some evenings for the usual steps like base color, detail painting, future, let dry, wash, decals... next time I have to keep better account of the time spent 😉

Top job, very nice Ingmar 👍

And thank you for the OPR link, I know why I like to work with oils!

Ingmar Stöhr
Glad you like it!
If you know how to work with them they are great and will definitely find a way into my future projects. I have two books of Michael Rinaldi. It's amazing to see what effects he achieves with oils! I did some more practice on a whitewashed Panzer 38(t) to modulate the white and give it more depth. That worked very quiet well. But you still need practice to get to the finish that you have in mind. The same as for every technique....

Very nice Tiger, Ingmar!👍
