Chicken & Waffles move over it’s Tiger’s & Waffles
Today
First completed the details for the opposite side.
Second used plastic strip to plan a pair of weld seams.
Achtung Panzer #6 Tiger has a sketch inspiring my gizmology approach. Not going to try to fix the kit just trying to make it more acceptable.
Plastic strip attached and starting zimmerit with thinned Molak Stucco Putty.
How thinned is the Molak Stucco Putty or Tamiya Basic Gray Putty?
Like slightly thick Tamiya paint. Note the droplet on the brush. Liquid wet and almost self leveling.
A little brush work and then the putty skims over. Let sit for a few minutes.
It’s not level but fairly close. There’s a clumps in the application. I think they will be OK because instead of raking this will be press & play zimmerit.
Never made press & play zimmerit before or practiced it either. I should practice but my hobby time is so thin after the wife’s surgery, I decided to roll the dice
.
Had to clean stamp mid application with Testor’s Liquid Cement. I’m OK with the tear outs. This Tiger should have damaged zimmerit I think. I can always fill the tear outs and restamp if I don’t like it later.
Needs to cure over night and a gentle sanding to knock the high spots down.
Oh, the 1970’s going to be 502’s 218.
Yes, Kali is trying to get a serving of lasagna. She had to settle for a snack of deli turkey.
