i love the wash you did on the turret!

overall weathering of the tank is great, but only 2 pics? we want more!

anyway,i think for the paint chipping, it is too shiny and bright... maybe its just me..

but great work on the tank!

Thanks! Danny I agree about the shiny chipping, but I have the light so close to the turret it cant help but look shinier than it actually is. I'll post mroe pics as they come.

Martin, I used a simple pencil. The trick is to not over do it. The less chips the better.

Tapper -

Outstandingly done Tiger II. I especially like the weathering. Who/where is this going to represent? Can we get a more overall view? I'm soon to be starting my 1SS Panther G to be around the Honsfeld area for "Ardennes Campaign". Great joband keep us updated,

Thanks! As for who the tank belongs to, thats still undecided. Here is a picture of the overall tank so far. I havent attached the two turret pieces together yet and attached them to the hull so thats why it looks a little odd. Still quite a bit of work to do yet! Good luck on your Panther , be sure to post some pics!
