Excellent build, Rian. Love the hard edged camo. I've been wanting to try that and after seeing yours I think I have to now!

Nice camo there Rian. Details aside, i think its a damn fine job you did on this jagdtiger. Can you share with us how you did the wash and the rust stains on the main hull? I just think it was very nicely done.

Thanks for the kind words.

The rust stains from the missing spare track links n the sides is done with Windsor Newton oil paints thinned with Turpenoid. I used 50/50 Black and Burnt Umber. I thinned the paint a lot less than I would for a wash and with the point of the paint brush dabbed it on. Then I blended it in with another brush and a little Turpenoid.

The overall wash is straight Burnt Umber thinned w/ Turpenoid. I used some straight Black also thinned with Turpenoid to do some staining on the rear deck.

The exhaust rust is a mix of orange, brown and black chalk pastel powder mixed with lacquer thinner. The lacquer thinner dries very quickly leaving the textured surface that simulates rust.

It looks real great!
I would only add some more weathering to the tow cables!
