HELLO MEN

this is my latest build dragons 1/35 tiger 1 late production 6406.
i have added the zimmerit set from atak and some friulmodel tracks.
here's a couple of pictures with everthing stuck together, i used glue.


and here's a couple with some colour,i used paint.


it all looks a bit scrappy at the moment but hopefully when i start to apply some washes and pigments and maybe a little varnish and a hole lot of luck i might end up with something that looks half decent........
i'm of to consume some beer.............................
neil.

That's why I haven't seen you posting since few days Like always good work. Clean build and nice painting. I like the damage you did to the zimmerit, definitely better than on the jagdpanther few months ago. I can't see the rear and forward but I would scrape off some zimm on the front (imagine all that AT fire and even MG fire those tanks were taking on). For the rear I would make some holes (imitation of small guns fire) and bent the covers in the exhausts. It gives nice impression of battle damage.

looking forward the weathering stage.

thank's for your interest lyndon

hi pawel
i haven't chipped the zimm this is the atak set SE35-01 damaged zimmerit tiger 1. the jadgpanther didn't come out to well so i decided to cheat this time theres not to much damage to the rear but it does have some around the front.
i decided to paint the damaged area's using a light grey colour (panzer aces 305 light rubber)the reason for this was that when i visited bovington recentley the king tiger had a broken peice of zimm and it looked to me to be a light grey colour.

Awsome job Neil. I agree, the zimmerit looks great. The camo scheme is way too cool, I wish I could paint camo like that.

Nice build and awesome camo paint job! Like the zimm damage as well, it'll look great with some weathering and such.

Keep at it! Thanks for sharing! Cheers -

Hi Neil! A bit late jumping on this Tiger, this is looking real 'nice', I really like that ATAK set, I think this is the pick of the AM zimmerit options, the turret pattern looks really good, it even has the 'over-roll' over the ridges. Looking forward to the finishing touches to this kitty!

Regards Phil.
