That is some fine modeling! Base looks great!

Thanks Lyle.

That zimmerit work is simply amazing Martin!!!! Good to see you in action over there bro!!!

Cheers Joe.

A quick final update before i wrap up the Tiger. After some washes and streaking i added everything bar the wheels and track. The front mudguard had come off so i decided to leave that until the end.







Then the weathering was finished off with some AK effects liquids and some pigments. After that the wheels and tracks were added and the tank is now done. I also placed the side skirts onto the rear deck.











I just have to add it to the base and let that set while i finish off the figures. Should be wrapping this up by the weekend.

That is one grubby, well used, beat uo Tiger? Nice!

Very nice looking Tiger the zim came out great.

Wow, this was fast and furious! Masterfully done getting that realistic well used look! Way to go man!

I am quite impressed by both the speed and look of this build!

Bravo Bish!

Cheers guys. Just got it wrapped up tonight so will get some pics ove rthe weekend.

Time to wrap up the Tiger. The finishing touches were to add it to the base and add the 4 figures, from Miniart and Master Box. The one thing that i can't get over with this secen, despite all the advances in military tech over the decades, one thing has not changed. Modern tanks look very much the same as they did in WW2, but we now have thermal imaging, stabilised guns and all the advances in armour, tank tracks today are exactly the same. The method for fitting the track in this scene is exactly the same one that we used on our Warriors, other than we used a fabric rope rather than a metal one. The perfect example of if somthing works, leave it.



















Thanks for following along. i am really pleased with how this has turned out. I have had this dio in mind for years and its come out exactly as i pictured it.

This is my last build of the year, looking forward to seeing what 2020 has in store.
