It's about time this unloved RammTiger got some much needed TLC.

Well D, here's a bit more "love" for the RammKitty: Tracks have been installed, gray pigments added (it is after all a vehicle that brings down buildings!), and I'll post pics soon.

All in all, my "firsts" on this build: Scratch build (RammHull), washes (umber all over), pigments (gray to represent the concrete - to be followed up by reddish for the brick?). Good gosh, what could one want more of???

Pics soon.

Just so you all know...it's done.

A quick pic and I'll put more up within the next day or so.

Really great work! Are you going to chip it very heavily. When it "ramms" a building it would get heavy damage on the paint.

Lars, thank you for the comment. I do intend to "bang it up" in the front and along the sides/roof. My thoughts are to start by taking a rasp to the nose to cut into the sheet stock (gouge it), then paint the gouges and other dings a red-brown. Within the red-brown I'll probably use steel...the remaining red-brown would depict the primer and the steel the "steel" of the hull. The sides won't have much, nor will the rear roof and back hull...most damage will be on the front slope and some up to about the commader's hatch with little dings towards the back.

Mike this was a really cool feature. I didn't see it until now. Can you make it into a feature article please?
