Here is my Totenkopf late spring 45 Tiger 1. I have a full Royal Model crew to add, and some more work to do on the base, such as adding a bead around the edge. Comments welcome as usual.

looking good martin,
may be the truuets a little too clean a wash or tow over it? looking forwards to seeing hte royal figures I think they are some of the best out there

One thing I notice is that you have the zimmerit runn down past where the side skirts would be, this is not accurate, it should stop VERY abbruptly where the side skirts stop.The zimmeritt was applied at the factory WITH the side skirts on, so unless the crawled underneath the vehicle, it should not be there.

Great model though!!

Good work, you may want to dirty up the road wheels and tracks. The zimmeritt should stop where the skirting/fenders were. The base looks very well done. Overall great job, Steve

very nice work .
i like the camo and the zim and the shell marks on the turret,
you should put some pastels around the road wheels

What aftermarket track set did you use on this model? How was it? What other aftermarket did you use?

Good job on the model, I really like the scars on the zimmerit and the camo!

Some information, ther zimmerit is done with rolled white milliput, the tracks are fruils and the etch is Aber. My references show that late Tigers had the zimm right down to the bottom of the hull sponsons above the tracks. There are powders on the wheels, but I can't get the exposure right to show this.

Cheers and happy modelling

Good Job Martin as ever!!!!!

Didn't know you were Scots......lol.

It is a good choice, Royal Model figure BTW......

Martin:

Nice job. A couple of things you might consider for detailing:

. Apply a little graphite to areas of crew activity to simulate paint wear, like turret sides, hatches, etc.

. Add some personal equipment hanging on the outside (a couple of my favorites are buckets and bicycles).

. If they have this where you are, get some Rub-n-Buff. It's used for antiquing wood mostly, and comes in a tube in a variety of colors, including silver, at craft stores. Just spread a little on your finger and rub it over the high spots on your treads, or wherever else metal comes in contact with the ground, road wheels, etc. to get a worn metal effect.

That detail is in there, but doesn't show on the shot. I will retrace my steps on the final touch ups after a thin wash for the zimm. Thanks for the comments. I have a Plus Models bucket to add soon.

Happy modelling

Martin

Man, u overdid a zimm, but, otherwise it looks mighty fine to me
