WOW. I love it. Crossed keys is Leibstandart, right? Excellent zimmerit. Even better decals over the zimmerit. I guess I am going to have to finally get mine down out of the stash and give it a whirl. Great job on the running gear, too. Am I gushing here? Sorry, I'll dry my eyes but I'm this model rocks...

Very nice work Rotc! I'm not too much into non-U.S. armor, but this looks terrific. I like the weathering and the tracks really take it! Keep it up.

Dude this is one beautiful machine. I love how you weathered it. What did you use to make zimmerit? Great work.

Lord Cat, this is awesome demonstration of your fine building/painting skill of them tanks. It looked real good. Congratulations on job well done, now drop down and give me 351, as well as do another 12 TKs.

Lord Keenan, yes, the crossed key is the 1st SSLAH Panzer Division.

Very, very nice.

One question. Do you have photoediting software? If yes, try running a auto levels filter (this is what its called in photoshop) on each pic. If not, want me to send you the pics run through the filters? I ran them through already and the detail and work in this thing becomes much, much more apparent.

by all means Tin, I don't have Photoshop. I have Corel PhotoPaint but I can't seem to find that type of option. I'd like to see what the results are so go ahead and post 'em or e-mail them to me, [email protected] . Thanks in advance


Zip file inbound to you with all six pics.

I kinda thought the zimmerit was hot knifed. That is the only way that I have ever been successful doing it. Pretty unforgiving but yours came out great. The second set of pics is even better than the first. This Tiger needs a diorama. I can see some sturmpioneers hunkering down, waiting, waiting, next to this beast...

Thanks again for sharing.

Realy nice work. I like very much the zimmerit. How did you do it ? Is this one in 1/48 ?
To edit the photos you can use a very simple soft that comes with Windows, itīs the Microsoft Photo Editor. Itīs simple and very easy.

I really like the paint job. Worn and dusty just like you meant it to be. Good job with the zimmerit, too. I tried to make my own for my King Tiger, but met failure after dismal failure, so I broke down and bought some resin stuff from Atak.
