Here's my rendition of the venerable Dragon King Tiger. This build represents a Tiger II assigned to SS-PzAbt 501 during the Ardennes Offensive of 1944/45.

It was painted with Gunze lacquers and weathered with enamels and pigments from AK Interactive as well as artists' oil paints. Decals came from Echelon Fine Details.

The mud in the lower hull was done with AK Interactive's Diorama texture paste and was applied to the model with the help of some water. The wet look of the mud is simply Future floor polish.

Hope you enjoy the photos! Critique and feedback are most welcome.

beautiful weathering!

Very good paintjob

Outstanding work

Thanks for the kind comments everyone!

how do you weather the tank wheel?

After painting and giving the wheels a pin wash, I applied AK Interactive's Dark Earth Terrain (pictured below) with some water. I then applied several shades of pigment to break up the uniformity of the mud colour. Finally I applied Future floor wax to create the wet mud effect.

Hope this helps!
