Impressive PE work. The painted interior is shaping up nicely. Anxious to see the next update.



Thanks for the comment and this is a update on the Grille, I have been working on getting the front of the vehicle completed and it has taken longer than I expected. I will have to re-prime and repaint the front of the tank as a result of my additions, but thats not a big deal.









What's left?

1) Finishing off the gun
2) Completing the left armoured shield (including adding the radio) and gluing it in place
3) Priming and partially repainting the front
4) Painting Camo onto the vehicle
5) Final weathering
6) Finishing off the Tiger 1 Build log (yes it will happen this time)

I really like it! Some of that PE adds a lot of detail.

Hi All,

Thanks for all the kind comments. Sorry it has been a while since my last post, it has been a bit of a busy time. I have finally finished my Grille as you can see;































As you can see, the paint scheme looks similar to my Panther G;



Thanks for looking,

S

Very nice. Like the grimy lower hull and running gear. Maybe some dust on the lower part of the upper hull would be in order as the rest of the machine looks much cleaner.

Seriously nice work. Love the cammo scheme and weathering. This makes me chuckle a bit because you took a break from your incredibly detailed Tiger build so you could build your incredibly detailed Grille!! LoL
Nice work,

Hi Steven,
A fantastic build! I really like how the crew compartment details are done. They show up nicely without looking out of place or overdone.
