Hi all, I wanted to present my latest work, a Tamiya Tiger I Afrika Korps. This is my first build in this scale and my first Tiger! It is also my first work with photoetch and aluminum barrel (PE is from Aber, barrel from Armorscale). Also my first time weathering with pigments (I went a bit crazy). I am painting the commander figure but so far he looks terrible, so I told him to step away for the pics

Thats very good.
I just made one the same only OOB like all my builds (aftermarket parts are scarce and expensive here)
I was going to post pics of mine but the camera is flat and cant find the charger.
Its a very tidy job you have there.
And those pigment look good to i dont think you have over done them at all.
Infact your tank makes mine look to clean.

Looks good.
The turret scratches are a little heavy for my taste, but that is just me
Very good job on the pastels - looks just fine in my opnion.
Thanks for sharing
