Hi All
Here's something I started before Christmas (then I started build blog so it got put to one side)The kit is Dragons King Tiger Porcshe turret premium. I tried to do it as if it was having the zimmerit put on.The color is a redish/rust color not orange as it looks.I know it most proberly be all the same color but I wanted to be a little different hence the top surfaces dark yellow.The zimmerit is what was left over from an tiger 1 set just cut to fit, everthing else is OOB
Hope you like,i just wanted something different from the norm with this one.I'm not rivet counter I build for my own enjoyment .Any Q & A and I'll do my best to answer
Thanks DARREN
Thanks for looking DARREN

Hi Darren,
I like the look & idea of your build, something different from the usual fighting scene. I like the idea of dio's depicting in the garage, repair shop. Verlinden had some good ones. Look forward to seeing it finished, best of luck with it.
Kenny.

Darren I too like your idea about the rust color not being the same everywhere. I think that as an undercoat that is smart to assume. Very nice idea, I too can't wait to see it finished.

Hi Walt
She be on hold at the moment as I got 2 others on the go as well JGSDF type90 and a VIIC uboat 1/72 (was cheap and I cant resist a bargin £19.99 was £50.00) But I will get on it when I've done 1 of the 2. Need to find some pics of floor,girder plus other bits and bobs of a work shop not to OTT
Only did this as an experiement as I had some ATAK zimmerit left over from Tiger 1 I built
thanks for showing an interst Walt had forgot I put it on here if I'm honest . Keep your self warm

Weather is getting mild mix snow/rain and high 50's but any ways you got your plate full i too am seeing the way of the budget builds since i can't paint or any thing i am just doing naked builds just bare plastic. Can't wait to see the JGSDF type90 i will be lurking around. Keep glueing Darren.
