Looks pretty good from where I sit. Only thing though, there shouldn't be that much snow on the engine deck and no snow on the exhausts at all.

Once that 88 lets go there wouldn't be much snow on the tank at all!

I rather like the overall finish and weathering. The snow isn't over done,and does look realistic. As Wayne said, most of it would be gone after one shot.

The only thing I would consider the next time you take pictures, is to use a soft earth tone to white back ground. The red just fights for the viewers eye.

BTW, I do like your 1st picture. Great perspective, and the perfect limited depth of field.

Thank you for the feedback Wayne ... You are sooo right about the snow on the exhaust... TBH, I don't even remember how I even came to that conclusion that I should put them on like that there ...

And also noted about the engine deck ... although it's a little bit tough nut to crack for me to determine how much snow of what ( snow, mud, chipping, etc. ) should be there

Noted about the snow sir ,.. Thank you very much ... and Sorry for the red back ground.. I didn't want to use white due to the snow .. I should have used blue instead of red.. Do forgive me ....

and thank you for the comment about the 1st pic.. I like to take shots like that

I like it! I agree with the previous post regarding the red background, but personally I would like to see a bit more snow. Either way it looks great mate

A great rendition of the Tiger II. I noticed that the cleaning rods were well rusted yet nothing else was. I did not notice any weathering as in dirt streaks and such. Good work non the less.

I think that the cleaning rods are not weathered. However, I don't believe they are made of wood. Weathering is usually personal preference. I would expect to see more rust, for the presence of water and heat put off by the tank. I do like the finish, on the KT's camo.
