I used craft wire - 3 strands twisted together tightly in a cordless drill to make the tow cables. Painted them a flat black -flat brown- gunmetal mixture and dry brished them with a TINY bit of lead from a silver artist pencil. I will be glad to answer any other questions---- ask away!!! I am glad to help!!!! Otto

Mighty nice Tiger otto! I also agree with LUCKYBULLET, the thing screams out "Dio!" Of course, I think everything screams dio. :-) But that Tiger of yours would look superb with some company.

Looks great so far. I love the oil paint effects. I "try" to do the same thing with them. The top of the turret doesn't have the same dark/light contrast as the hull, are you going to add more up there? That's about all I can point out that isn't incredible. Can't wait to see it with the tracks on.
