Looking good, can't wait to see the finished product. Did you read "Tigers in the Mud?"

Very nice!

FWIW, I just spotted Tamiya's Carrius and crew for sale in a Hobbytown; Tamiya sells these figures as a "bagged kit", as we often see their PzIV OVE set being sold.

Great looking Tiger.

When you use MIG powders. do you use them dry or do you mix them with terp. or some other kind of liquid?

Nice weathering job, the paint chips look good. I think that there is perhaps a little to much black around the muzzel brake, I would lighten that a little. Looking forward to the figures.

Cheers
