Something I've been working on. My first post so looking for any constructive criticism. I have already corrected the aerial as it was pointed out I had it on the wrong side. I have also had it pointed out that the 3rd comp. of 101st SS possibly didn't have white out lines on their turret rear numbers in Normandy. I will have to live that.
Thanks
Paul

Ok, so why can't I get my pics on here? I'm a complete novice with this technovoodoo stuff. I have 3 pics in the Kit maker page of here, but can't transfer them onto here, Hmmmmm

Nice job, Paul.
Maybe the tracks lack just a little in 'depth' and may have benefitted from a dark wash, but all in all - I like it a lot.
The battle damage looks great, the vegetation really adds to the build, and you haven't fallen into the trap that I fell into on my first Zimmerit Tiger, when I chipped the Zim to simulate damage, but then painted the exposed surface underneath in dunkelgelb !

BTW: I too find the whole Kitmaker picture-posting system a bit complicated as well, so don't worry about it!

Your Tiger looks very good. Your photos would look better taken outside against a plain background without a flash depending on the weather.
For more tips on photos take a look at the photography forum

Guys
thanks for the input!!! I have been away for a few days and had given up hope of any one commenting!! But I guess after Karl very kindly posted the pics for me, more people could see it. Thanks very much Karl!!!
It is still a WIP as I still need to finish of tools etc and plan on taking some better pics when it's done.
James, this is the Dragon lit with the Voyager PE set for it. I just can't seem to OOB!!
Again, thanks guys!!!!

The foliage is sea foam with dried herbs. I ve tried this way before but never been really happy so tried a different way. I sprayed the sea foam stalks a green/brown mix and crushed the herbs up smaller than usual. Last time I did I used a spray adhesive and covered the whole bit then sprinkled the herbs on. Ended with clumps here and there and it look [auto-censored], to be honest. So this time, I used tube super glue and applied it to just the ends of the foam then dipped into the pit of herbs. Let it set, then did the next bit. This way, you see the branches of the sea foam and the "leaves" look more individual. I was going to go for a heavy foliage cover based on some footage on YouTube, but decided against it as it covered up too much detail.
I can't donload pics to this site!!! I might be able to make trees, but this tecnologyvoodoo stuff is beyond me. Would be happy to e mail you some if you give me your email address in oprivate messages.
Thanks
Paul
