Rodolfo - Fantastic work with all that PE. You've got a lot of it going on and you're doing it well. I was too chicken to attempt the rear fenders on my Tiger II. On the positive side, I'm now a bit more motivated to figure out soldering.

All - Does anyone have experience splicing together water slide decals? I have enough "113" decals on hand to make the "133" numbers that I need, but I'm wondering whether that's a good idea. I might be tempted to try it with two-digit numbers, but with three I can see it being an alignment nightmare.

Some progress photos - ready for primer:

To One and All,
I have finally gotten myself organized enough to get into the Tiger Campaign. I am working on the DML Tiger I w Zimm. in 1/72. I was impressed with the kit when I opened the box, since it came with some photoetch and some other nice bits.
Here is the obligatory 'sprueshot';



After a few building sessions, here are the major components before painting and final assembly.



On a related tangent, I went to the Orlando Florida Modelpalooza show a couple of weeks ago and did some shopping. One thing I came away with was this HQ72 City Street base with kiosk. It also came with 'posters' to put on the kiosk. Check out Tigerdio.com, they have a number of interesting bases and such.



This is the base with the basic painting laid on and then a couple of shots of the base with the roughly assembled Tiger on it for layout possibilities.







I am almost at the painting point on the Tiger, so more to come soon!

Thanks and comments always welcome;

Great work guys ..
Would anyone mind if I switched over from my Tiger I to an Elephant ? I'm kinda running out of steam on the tiger build and thought I might just build the dragon kit out of the box ...My camera is on the fritz for the moment but I asure you it is still untouched...I know it's late to switch but I think I might be able to make it ..Let me know if it's alright .

Hi Guys,

Been a while since I visited the campaign. Some great builds going on, great to see so many people getting involved in this one.

Well I finished my 1/48 King tiger a little while ago but i've finally finished the 1/16th one. I'm just waiting for some photography lights to take some decent photos to upload to the campaign gallery. For now I have these not so great photos but i'll post the good ones up when they are done. Hope you like it guys

To All of the Tiger-philes,
I am calling my Tiger done. I built the DML 1/72 Tiger1 kit OOB. I added a base from HQ72 that I had picked up at a model show (see my previous posts for more info)

Here are a couple of shots of the Tiger after the basecoats and camo with the decals.





Now here are the final pictures of the model, some on the city street base. Some of the photos have been posted in the Campaign gallery.









The kit was nice to build. One interesting feature was that the roadwheels were in only two pieces for each side. This made building the suspension a breeze with no visible evidence of this shortcut - nice engineering.

I used Tamiya and Polly-S paints for everthing - mainly Tamiya for the camo and the Polly-s for the weathering. I applied a sandy-brown filter to tone down everthing after the basecoats - it seemed a little 'bright'.

The tracks were given their 'sag' by crazygluing them down to the tops of the roadwheels.

The one bothersome area on this model was their way of doing the towcable on the top of the hull. It uses twisted wire for the main loop and then plastic parts for the front ends and you are supposed to hide the wire under the plastic part - a little clumsy and it does not stand up to close inspection.

One final point, in looking at my photos, I have a bit of decal silvering on the turret numbers, so this evening I need to deal with that. Other than these few weak points, the kit overall was nice to build. Comments are always welcome.

Thanks,
Stephen

Hi guys the campaign is almost finished anda i cant up load the photos of my model finished ti the campaign photo gallery, maybe is for virtual space, wat can i do? Help please.

If you upload a file but it doesn't show up, that is usually a sign that the file is larger than 3MB. You can use a graphics program (like Microsoft Paint which usually comes with Windows) to make the image smaller.
