Hi all,
Just completed my Tiger I representing a Tiger of the s.Pz.Abt 506...Not sure if its 100 % accurate but it was a fun build.
It is the Dragon Kit with Aber photo etch, Aber barrel, Eureka tow cables, Friulmodel tracks, and Atak zimmerit. The figures are Alpine with Hornet heads.
The Tiger was painted with acrylics and weathered with oils, enamels, and a small amount of pigments.
Thanks for looking.
Bart

Hi there Bart, that's a terrific example you put together. It looks like the perfect balance of battle damage and weathering, not over the top. And the simple Dio finishes it off to a great level.
Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent work.
What technique did you use for the chipping and scratches?

Thanks for the comment. The chips and scratches were done using oil paints.
