hi evryone... here is my dml jagdtiger in-progress pics for the tank terror campaign, built OOB.

1) basic painting & assembly finished....for paints i used testors middle stone & olive green and humbrol dark brown, AB'd freehand..



2) ambush pattern camo applied..




3) drybushing & detail painting done....



.....next, i'm going to brush some pastels on the tracks & exhaust... plus 2 tank crews from tamiya, still in the painting stage. hope i can finish them all before the campaign deadline ..

all comments are definitely welcome... thanks!

First of all, great work. Love that camo. There are different opinions on having rusty working tracks. In my opinion it would look good with some rust on the tracks.

Looking good will it be going in a dIo?

ermm... well i'm going to put it on a small base with only some groundwork mud & grass etc, as i don't have time to do a full or proper dio for the campaign....

Very nice. I really like your camo paint job. Looking forward to final pics!

the camo came put just great.
i wish i could paint camo has good as that.
keep the pics comeing

Thanks for posting. Looks like a good clean build!

My only addition would be a comment about the tracks, too. The spare ones would not display any silver color. The tracks were a maganese composite and if not in use, would display a definite dark brown tint. Very little if any metallic sheen would be present.

Regarding the running tracks, I would heavily use dark brown pastels/pigments followed by earth tone pastels/pigments. The highlight areas would have some metallic sheen to them. This seems to be the pattern in color German photos I've examined.

It looks wonderfull, i must agree on rust on tracks, its surely needed

That is beautiful work. Certainly is scary, Hate to be an allied tanker seeing that sucker taking aim at me.

Excellent paint job. Looks great. Once the tracks are done it will be even better.

thanks for the comments evryone.
about the tracks... the ones on the hull need to be repainted as i sanded off the ejction marks.... followed by silver drybrushing and a lot of brown pastels on them. maybe i'll add some mud on the tracks and near the lower hull as well, + some camo netting... if i have the time....

like they say in french "quand on veut on peut"

looks good, makes me want to buy the tank

Great looking build, that's a mean looking big kitty. You've motivated me to get one too. It'll have to go into the stash, but what the heck. Anxious to see the final product. Congratulations!

nice jagd...make it an old rusty tank,with some early snow on the base.

Very nice build! Congrats.

Gotta love the Jagdtiger! Good work!

That is looking great. If your figures turn out as nice it will be an excellent display. If you want you can store it in a display case at my house when it's done. :-)
