Sorry if the pics are too "general". There were only 2 pics of my works so far taken during our IPMS meeting last week. I'll try to contact our photographer to send me some more pictures of my stuff. I'll post them when they're with me. Comments are welcome.

My FAMO. Those barrels cost me $ 1.50

My Tiger II. Basically OOTB with some wirings you guys pointed out to me.

Hope you like it!

Nice works!
well done and well painted, also the weathering work is nice
for the king tiger a little suggest: you can improve the tanks adding rust on the track on the turret...now they are too new...
great works!

Hi. Super job there, on both of them. Really like the weathering effect on the FAMO. And the figures. Looks real nice. The barrels in the back of the FAMO are interesting as well. Also the figures on the Tiger. Interesting poses. Good work like this is always appreciated by those of us who are still striving to come to such levels.

Take care, sgirty

Excellent work on both. Love the Famo !!! Tiger II looks awesome in that 'ambush' scheme. Figures look real nice too. Keep up the good work !

If you get more pics be sure to post them !

Cheers !

Very nice work on the KT-II and the FAMO. I very much like the FAMO weathering. Maybe you could still add a litle rust and dirt. Overall, both are superb...

I have pics of the KT I built in "my gallery". The pics there showed some of the rust spots -- maybe it could help....

Actually, there's a lot of weathering in my Tiger II. If you look closely, you'll see that the colors are faded evident of lots of chalk pastels. The rust spots are not that large since Tiger II's were not abused as much as Panzer IV's, & Panthers.

I'm digging the Famo and the poses of your figures. One thing I notice with a lot of photos is that the clothing on the figures is shiny. At least for me that always detracts from the overall effect. If you aren't already I would recommend using a matte varnish spray on those guys to take the shine off of them and replicate actual fabric a little better. I've never photographed a model so maybe that has something to do with. Not sure there.
Overall they're looking sweet!
