You may have seen this model in a different diorama but I have swapped it with a different tank. It is also my AGE 2 entry under 17's but I am now going to be putting it on a small base. Please give me some ideas on what you think and how I can improve it.

Hi Joe,
Looking good. The few things that stand out to me are;
the inside roadwheels are too clean
the tracks on the turret, hoses on the back and the tow cables also look too clean.
If this is a winter camouflage, I think you should add some more wear around the hatches and areas where the crew would be moving around on the tank. The weathering looks a bit too uniform.
These are just small things, you have really done a fine job and it looks good as is. Perhaps a few tweaks.
Joe

Your Tiger looks too blue,so for starters tone down the blue look.as its a Tiger from the 502 it only has 1 wooly mamoth emblem you have 2.The right side smoke granade launcher seems to low down.
As all ready mentioned the inner road wheels need some mud.i hope you can open the hatches?if so try and add a few figures that would make it look better in a dio.
just some advice,and i can tell you i have Learned a lot since coming on Armorama,so keep asking and you will get much better.
good luck and happy modeling
cheers karl

Nice Tiger Joe but M-60-A3 has a few points there , if you doing extra things like using mud O.E.E. you have to watch details.
