just came out of the paint shop . I gave it a base of modelmaster buffing gunmetal.
I then used acrylic paints mixed very thin with rubbing alcohol . olive yellow , forest green , and brown .
now on to the wheels and tracks .

Looking very good! I'm always in awe at those of you that work in 1/48 or smaller. HO trains, (which is 1/87, btw), is as small as I dare go. Even then, it's nothing too detailed.

Looking great Gino!

The Tiger is big even when it's small... so to say.. :-)

looks great, Gino! Nice work.
