This is the first time I’ve seen paper for tarps , I have used them for signs and posters. Old dog learners new tricks. Thank you Glenn for sharing. 👍👍

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Yeah, pretty cool huh?😎💪🏼

Another fine build and insightful presentation. Thank you for sharing your work, Glenn.

Really love these step by step

Thanks glad you like them!

Excellent job Glenn. The Tank commander looks great as well. Me personally, I have always liked this look of a tanker with just their head protruding out of the turret.

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Totally agree😎👍

[@jamesmcansh6393]

Thanks for sharing always love hearing you say " passable" when its jaw dropping ✌Canada✌

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Yeah, that’s me. Never satisfied with my work! I find any little flaw I can in my work constantly. I guess that’s what keeps me going!🤠 thanks for the comment!

As always, a great job 👍👍

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Thank you so much 😀

I have purchased a number of the books by dennis oliver. I like that these cover breifly tge actual vehicle but units that used them, vehicle alloted to units, available kits and upgrades as well color profiles. Their a one stop shop for your vehicle subject. And your Tigers are both cool.

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

I agree completely. I always wanna know the order of battle for a division and if I can get all that information and one book or resource that’s amazing. Thanks for your comment!

Always heart breaking to see very talented modelers using Tamiya kits. Great job anyway!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Hey, they’re good kids. I had it in the stash. I built it a while back just got around to finishing so I can show how the weather. Thanks for the comment!😎👍👍

[@SDOne-or6vm]

@@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti Yes they are very good kits (...for average modelers like me 😉)

[@CLANSMN]

Awesome as usual Glen. Can i ask if you use oil or chalk pastels ? (the use of turpenoid suggests oil but i'd like to be sure)

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

I use the dry pastels sand them into powder and then you can mix Tonino with them. A little bit of the powder goes along way very very Little you can always put more later. If you mess up, you can wipe it away with more turbidnoid.

[@CLANSMN]

@@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti Many thanks Glen, keep up the great work.

[@svmik]

I really like the turret number, were they painted on, or you did some clever trick with the decals?

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

They’re just decals I put them on with Microsoft and once they dry if there’s any air underneath, I just pick a tiny hole pinhole and then add more Microsoft till they’re all snug down and then they’re sprayed with testers flat

[@svmik]

@@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti right, so just MicroSol and patiently making sure they adhere well to the uneven surface of zimmerit, thx!

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

@@svmik yup

[@TonyKelly-p7x]

If I missed it l apologize. But after the wash was applied did you dulcoat (flat clear) the entire model?

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

Yes

[@TonyKelly-p7x]

Okay, Last question. Prior to applying the dark wash to the entire Tiger, did you first apply a coat of gloss or semi gloss to protect the paint job from the weathering process?

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

@@TonyKelly-p7x I don't add gloss coat. no

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

He Glenn, I ordered those motorcycle wheels from Sol models and they have still not come, they make excuses and promise tomorrow.. I wonder if they are ceasing trading with the US like Russia has. I ordered them way back when you had the video of a review of their product! So just a warning concerning trading with them right now. Instead, go to Andy's Hobby who carries Sol products.

[@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti]

it took me a while

[@LeveretteJamesClifford1955]

@@ArmorModelsbyGlennBartolotti Its terrible but even thought I am so antsy to get the kit, I a not going to be able to build it for a while. I do extreme detailing and I usually spend months on one kit, including putting working lights into the interior if it is a tank. The reason it's so long is because I am dividing my time between where I live and another city in another state, and live on a big piece of land that has to be cared for. So sometimes there is a week where I can't work on something.
