Thanks for the links Carlos, very interesting reading (and superb builds, it was nice to go back and revisit them) - I found the M46 build especially useful when it came to the individual link tracks, I like how you built them up in short sections - it certainly give me an idea of how to handle them, although I will have the sag to contend with on the Tiger. It was also interesting how you basically assembled the running gear, primed it all black in-situ. and then just added a light coating of the OD over the road wheels keeping it basically all in shadow - and then weathering over the top. I think I might try both methods - the Tiger I might paint with the wheels and the tracks off, and the next build (which will probably be an M4) with everything on.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Wed Oct 11, 2023 4:51 pm In that case, I’ll say have a look at my M51 Sherman build…

The M51 is awesome btw - that bloody great gun on the Sherman chassis looks insane.
I have added all the tools etc to the Tiger, I'm just waiting on the PE screens before I add the tow cables. Looking at them fitted, I shouldn't have an issue painting them in place. I also need to figure out paints for the tank commander.
Thanks and Cheers!
