A few pics of a Jagdtiger I've been working on for a diorama that I hope to have done soon.
Its Dragons Jagdtiger with Aber photo etch and Model Kasten tracks.

Excellent Bart. Love the weathering ... especially the marks where the extra tracks were carried. Ive built X7, but its still in its base colour .... would be very happy if it comes out as good as this.

Hi Bart,
Lovely work! Paint finish and weathering are very realistic.
There is a fantastic set of pictures of 'X2' and other Jagdtigers surrendering to the Allies in Panzerwrecks3. The pictures capture the real imposing presence of these huge vehicles.
congrats on a great build and thanks for sharing,

Thanks for the comments guys...hopefully the dio will be completed soon and I'll be able to post some pics of it.
Paul - I have seen the photos of the Jagdtigers surrendering at Iserlohn and the youtube video as well. Infact my diorama is based on that idea.

Absolutely superb job, Bart. And the hanging netting is a really nice touch. What did you use for that?

Thanks all for the comments.
Steve - The camo netting is just the store bought kind, I can't remember the make but its like the kind made by Verlinden. I just dyed it darker with diluted paint, soaked it in diluted white glue and put in place. Once dry it was highlighted with some dry brushing.
