Well Uhu keeps coming up with more interesting things about Tigers and I keep running back to the workbench to add more.
Tell me about it, Jose keeps me on my toes all right! Ive just started a T34 and I have a feeling a few suggestions are coming my way. Im thinking of doing the T34 in white wash (Kursk) actually so this thread help to give me some ideas.

One I just came up with, for a real natural looking wash effect, try painting on NEAT flat base, once dry it goes white and well, washy really.
I discoverd that accidentally on a model railroad project I was working on. Never thought to try it. I wouldn't mind seeing pictures when you get some.

The Windex discovery was another accident. I was working on the cannon in the Pershing and as a result the finish was very oily from my finger prints. There was a bottle of windex on my workbench and I thought that would work as good as anything. I sprayed the model, only to find the windex was immediately lifting the paint. I gently padded off the Windex and discovered a very believable peeling effect had occurred
