Cool tank there . A few small things I see right from the start is # 1 no wire to the head light
( just noticed all the fittings arent attached yet - so I see it is still in progress ) # 2 radio opperators hatch slightly open . I hate it when that happens. I get in a hurry taking pics sometimes too . Now for the stuff I really like about this tank : The mud is really good. I can just smell the fresh earth churned up by this monster . The head phones at a angle on the TC head is a good touch . The missing black out cover on the head light is a good touch also ditto on the ambush paint job.

Hey Lordette Dave,

Your works continues to improve, great job on this one.
I would reconsider the mud being so high on the glacis of the King Tiger though, it was rarely thrown that high up. Also, try drybrushing a lighter earth colour over top of the mud for a more convincing effect.
Nice ambush camo as well,

Andrew

Lordette Dave,

As Obe said, your continuous striving for improving modeling skill is obvious in your recent build. I concur with Obe on the mud thing, the glacis one looks a bit too high....

Other than that, not bad at all. Be proud.

Nice work airwarrior. The ambush scheme looks great and you have succeeded in getting a nice metallic feel to it ..... looks like its solid metal instead of plastic. You might want to set your camera on a tripod or at least some boxes to get a steady picture .... they seems a bit wavy. The headphones seem to have popped off at one side. It will be nice when all the fixtures are added. Any chance of a close up of the figure? Is this the kit figure

1.I want a tripod, but these are the best pics I could get , I did try though :-)
2.those headphones are done that way on purpose, they would wear them on one ear, to hear what his crew is saying, and what is going on out side, sorta like a DJ.

1. am a still working on the light, as the open cover shows
2. that hatch was done partially open for a purpose, like the radio operator kept it open just a little to let light in, or only closed it partially for whatever reason.
