Hi guys
finally i can finish my Tiger 1 from Tamiya( i also posted some pics,if u see /remember my last post bout the progress).
i'm not sure about the broken track link, does it make sense or not ?
i made two shellholes ,its not really clear if u see this pic
to give impression this Tiger Knocked Out (TKO), i dont really care about the base, just the simple one
and as always ur comments are the most welcome



thks
Ricky

Looks very nice,to me it looks as though its been left out in the weather for many years.just one thing about the top tracks,they dont seem to be sitting on the road wheels.
well done

I cant seem to view the photos...is it just me?

Not just you. Pics are broken for me too.

:-)

It looks very nice to me too. Weathering is awesome. The base is a simpe but very enough to present the model.
The broken track stays unrealistic. It would be nice to give it some sag on the road wheels. It is broken and must be falled down on te road wheels.

Ah i can see it now.

Nice weathering indeed. Looks like you manage to age the tank about 30 years!

Very impressive!

Care to share how you did the weathering?

I think it is a nice model.
But I'm not convinced about the tracks. Tracks don't brake on two places.


Just my two cents

Nice looking KO'd Tiger, I must say.
I would echo the other comments about the tracks, though. Probaby best to have them broken in only one place.
One other suggestion: if the gun is still moveable, I'd recommend depressing it as far as possible, rather than pointing it upwards. I'm not sure if you are trying to model an internal fire, but if the turret interior did burn, the balancing mechanism would likely have been damaged and the gun would then fall to its maximum depression. You'll see many KO'd vehicles with their gun fully depressed because of this.

Forget the tracks on the left side completely. It will look much better that way. Have the wheels rest in a rut. If you remove some of the dirt, especially around the turret area it could look like it was more recently abandoned rather than having been there for decades. Next, get a figure of a civilian, Gaso.Line and Preisser make women. Have a civilian woman walking by the side of the tank going about her business. A diorama like that would certainly earn you high praise.

Very good weathering on a Beast

Me too dislike the tracks, they're very unrealistic and i doubt they can "brake" in 2 places at the same time...

Except that, you did an excellent work

Mirko

you see many ko'd tanks that the track bunches up on the gound near the drive sprocket, broken in one place.

Awsome weathering, now that I can see the pics . And yeah...the idea behind the thrown track is great, but you really need individual track links to get the right effect.


:-)

I'm really digging the weathering as well. Looks great. I'd have to echo what the other folks are saying about the tracks however. IMHO, the section in the rear looks like its floating in the air and doesn't seem to conform to the ground with all its intense weight.

The weathering is very good as well as the presentation. I also echo the sentiments of others about the tracks. Just a little nitpick though...
1) The spare tracks in the turret seem to be missing the track guards ( it supposed to hold the spare tracks in place) -- see 2nd pic.
2) The commanders coupola hatch seems to be opening in the wrong way -- its supposed to open towards the right side, not to the back....other please correct me if I'm wrong...

Overall, it looks very very good

Cheers

If you are really set on having broken tracks, you might want to invest a little in this project and get either the LionMarc Designs (of Hong Kong) or the WW2 Productions (of Australia) individual track links for this kit.

HI guys
thks for all ur comments
for the washes i used MIG pigments and the ordinary chalk, sometimes i mixed it together with water.

and after read all ur comments i taken off the track links, and add some figure thks for the idea again
and also i did a little bit weathering on the lower hull.
this is the recent pics
hope u like it








thks for have alook
Ricky

Hi Ricky,

This is the track guard I talking about. In real life, the tracks on your turret is held only by the track guards else they would fall off.



Just my opinion...

Cheers

Looks good as everybody else have already said. But I thought of another thing, you could perhaps make it look more sunken in to the ground. Now it seems as a bit floating over ground.

thks for thie pic, yeah i know the spare track link looks wrong i tried to fixed it, but when i did that, i cant get the same colour sceheme (result) for the part that i fixed, thats why i leave it like that
thks for ur comment, really appreciate it.

insolitus
