Looks like your build is coming along quite nicely. I particularly like how the ground work on your base is turning out. One observation, I've never seen the seem on the mantlet as prominent as on your Tiger. In most pictures that I've seen it's hardly noticeable. Here's a picture from Prime Portal to show what I mean. (Picture for discussion purposes only.)

Damn nice job. It is hard to believe this is 1/72.

Hello Rafal,

I have been wondering all the time why you have titled this thread Gewohnheit.

What is the meaning of this?

That is stunning, really stunning. Whilst the groundwork is excellent, what really catches my eye is the way you have "colour modulated" and weathered the tiger. It's one of the nicest projects I've seen in this scale for a long time. Congratulations! Can I suggest that you post it on the braille scale forum of Missing Lynx, so that the guys on there get to see this masterpiece?

Thanks for posting.

the theme of churning up dead bodies and animals is terrific as it undoubtedly happened !!

Really impressive stuff, especially at this scale.

Your painting is great and the groundwork very realistic.
My only issues would be the lack of balkenkreuz that were usually applied and I too am not a big fan of the red oxide hatch as it is fairly well documented that this wouldn't have happened.

Great dio regardless,

James

One of the best 1/72 works i´ve seen so far - and I´m not even a big color modulation fan. The chipping and weathering is awesome, so is the groundwork. Great Job!

Rafal,

Impressive build! Excellent job on the weathering and groundwork. I especially like how you've handled the transition between the vehicle and ground. You've also done a great jog on the chipping and rain marks. This easily passes for a 35th scale build.

Thanks for sharing and posting your build. Hoping to see more of your stuff here again.

I disagree. I personally love the red oxide colour on any late war vehicles and think you have added the perfect amount. Great dio overall, especially the weathering!
Thanks for sharing.
