Almost finished with my King Tiger and my attempt at painting figures (still trying to get a handle on hightlights / shading and the face). Enjoy and thanks for watching.

Love the tank.

Your figures don't look too bad either - perhaps a bit too glossy, but that may be from the camera flash.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Tim, you are right, the glossy finish is a result of the camera's flash (will remember to turn it off next time).

How do you apply the eyes to the figures? They look great while mine look like a black blob.
thanks

I took a tookpick and sharpened the end with a knife. I then dipped it in black paint and gently tapped it to the face (I usually have the head in an upside down position when I paint the eyes). Hope this helps!!

Danke, I sure will make an attempt to replicate. The Tiger looks great!

The figures look great! I really like the camouflage pattern.

Which King Tiger kit is that? I'm working on a Tamiya one right now.
