Great work Gary! Both builds I very good but I especially like the Tiger I. May I ask how did you paint the camouflage? Some masking or freehand? The Tiger is it OOB or you used some AM items?
thanks for sharing!

Hi Spit,
the camo job was done free hand. i use an Iwata eclipse hp-cs for basecoats and an Iwata Highline pro-B plus for soft edge camo. lots of little things are scratch built as well as weld beads. i used just bits of spare photoetch from other kits. Thx for looking man!

I've seen both your build project postings so I'll only post here. Your models and photography are stunning. My favorite is the Academy Tiger.
Thanks for posting and sharing your builds, hoping to see more.

I must be one of the few people on here that doesn't like Tigers. I just think they're a big bit bit of slab sided ugliness, but yours is gorgeous! Also, your Jagdpanther is da bomb - it looks like 1/35th. The camo job on both these models is awesome. Good job!!!!! Stevie.
