Here is my second finished kit in 3 years. Sooo be gentle guys. DML Porsche Jagdtiger w/ zimmerit. Finished w/ Tamiya and Model Master Acrylics. Weathered w/ Mig pigments. I used an oil pain pin wash and attempted to do a little preshading but I'm not sure that's all that visible.

Hi Andrew!

Looks good!
Nice camo painting, although the green area looks somewhat blue.

Keep posting!

Wow thats alot of dust! I'd like to see how much of that pigment is left after, i dunno, a year? Might want to fill those gaps too. Nice camo job and tracks.

Two builds in three years, we'll have to do something about that! Weathering looks real good, now build some more!

Nice job on this one. Altough a dark brown wash would make the Zimmerit stand out more ? G.

1/72 you say. Very nice. I'm doing my first steps with pigments. How did you apply yours?

I used a medium sized brush and just "dipped" it the dry pigment and proceeded to spread it around.

I just read a review of this last night and it was reviewed well. How was it to build?

It looks well done, especially for the 2nd kit in 3 years. Hard to do braile scale.
My critique would be the rear bulk head, it looks a bit off to me?
