Hello Armorama friends!
I have just started building DML's late King Tiger. The weather here have been bad and I havent started my new job yet. The kit is a good base for converting it to a March 1945 Tiger II. I have already started to make some modifications which I'll show in the pictures. I'm going to finish it in the "ambush scheme". I'm not using any after market products yet, but I'm might be getting the Cyber hobby pioneer tools since I'm to lazy to use P.E parts.haha




The modified loaders hatch


Some changes made to the rear armor plate. Convoy light built from scratch, one of the back mud guards removed, block and jack removed. I still have some work here to do. Some sanding, more building such as a jerry can holder.


I made the front mud guard reenforcement from sheet styrene.

That's it for now. I'm gonna post some pictures of the turret tomorrow or so, depending on how the work goes. Thanx to Pawel and the rest of the guys who helped me so far with answering my questions!

Hope you like it so far!

Nice start Henrik!. My Porsche its sleeping a nap, I hope to push forward this week end.

Hello Armora friends! Been quiet from me for a while, but I finally completed building my Tiger and started to paint it. The plan is to do an "ambush" scheme and I will paint it with a brush.

So here are some pictures of it in base paint. I first painted it black (Humbrol #33) and then gave it some light coats of HU#83. I did some pre shade just so that the yellow didnt get to monotone. I still need to figure out how to get good light in the photos.


The modified loaders hatch. I made all (I think) modifications to turn it into a March 1945 Tiger.

I made the shields from some sheet brass and wire. I'm gonna paint them to look like a field modification. Rusty and so on. The rest of the tank is gonna be pretty unworn since it would just recently have left the factory.

I also made 5 camouflage loops from wire. I didn't measure out the positions, but I think it turned out OK.

Hope you like it so far! Tomorrow I'm picking up the brush and start to paint the camouflage!

Here are some pictures from todays progress. I have just started to paint the camo. Next I will continue with adding more thin layers of paint. I know that it looks a bit flat at the moment, but that will change when I do some post shading and filters.





Please comment!

All righty then. Pretty good brush work. The camo pattern looks good too.

Work on being a little neater with the glue. Keep pluggin away you're getting there.

Until next time

Hi everybody!
I've been working on this one quite bit lately since the winter holds Sweden in a tight grip.
Weathering have (so far) been done with humbrol paints and oils. Next up is a coat of matt varnish and the over to work with pigments.









Hope you like it!

Excellent job

The paint job is really nice, but your surface is marred by glue marks and various blobs of glue or putty here and there. In future models, spend a bit of extra time to keep things a bit neater and sand things down. Just some constructive criticism.

Thank you so much for your comments!

nice work

Looks really nice!

Thanks for the comments!
