Hi Tigeriv,

Looks good, very clean build, specially when this is your third in such a short time!!
Since you did this one in white-wash, I think it will be a bit more realistic if you "dirty-up" the bottom section of the beast, 'cos snow doesn't stay bright white when a monster like a tiger runs over it!
Little question: it looks like on the left side of the tower, there's two different decals over eachother, while on the right side there's only one type...is this on purpose?

Keep up the good work, John.

Nice build! If it's a white wash camo finish it looks a bit too 'clean', not just what DragonWagon says but all over? It's in every little nook and cranny. Like it's been factory applied instead of in the field, possibly needs loads of washes and filters to tone it right down and as DragonWagon says, lots of mud on the lower hull and running gear. How are you going to finish the tracks?

Hmm. i am inclined to agree with teacher on this one.

take a look at this sexy beast. Not white all over... really muddy on the lower hull and paint chips etc
hope this is of help and all that... cheers

I think a few rust streaks,and then a dio base of a concrete workshop floor,to denote a vehicle which has JUST recieved its whitewash.Add a few figures in workoveralls,and scratch build a few industrial strength spray guns,and there ya go...accurate!

Cool! I like the clean build on it. Question, does that white meant to be a whitewash? Whitewashed vehicles have uneven finished, hurriedly painted and also easy to wear on heavy use areas and edges. I hope this gives you an idea.

All is not lost, Tankcarl has a very good point on adding some more details.
