Hi Dani,

Lovely little model, really nice finish and weathering. I think the simple base sets it off really well, this model doesn't need anything else to display its attributes.

All the best,

Paul

Beautiful job, Dani. I am continually impressed with the detail on your crew figures. The base is subtly attractive and your weathering appears just right. Did you have problems with the rear idler on the Tiger? From my own experience and reading other blogs, several Dragon Tiger I's have an issue with it.

Cheers,
Jan

Hello Dani, very nice model, I like the subtle weathering and the crew members. What figures are you using here?

Good work on the base too.

Best regards, P.A.

Thanks for your comments!
A great kit [for me], with some problems in combining the front...I use 2 Preiser and 2 Italeri figures for the tank crew.The kit is painted with a brush, with Agama acrylics and weathered with Agama patinators[sand and dust].
Cheers,
Dani

Very nice build, Dani. It is amazing what you can achieve using brushes. Your figures are absolutely top rate.

Dani,

Really suburb job! I think this is one of your best efforts. Sooner or later your going to have to add a Tiger to the armor collection and yours is a fitting and handsome addition. Very pleasant to look at especially with those figures - adding both scale and action. The base just adds the icing on the cake!!!

So how is this for late reply's?

Dani, thanks for the kind words it is much appreciated. I have yet to complete my Tiger I. I have already added the upgrades that David Bryden mentioned to assist me with getting the model to be accurate that I have posted back in January of this year. But because I am now currently involved in two campaigns I will not be finishing up with the painting until the upcoming Braille Battlefield Campaign starting this November. Campaigns . . . to much fun!
