guys..this is my first winter camo..inspired by Chris Wauchop's jagdpanther in winter camo.
It's Tamiya kit, I added zimmerit with spot putty, I also replaced tow cable and scratchbuild it from RC's cable, then I made mud guards from beer can. gun barrel from DML tiger initial. feel free to comment

Great Job Chris,

Love the beer can Idea for the mudguards looks better than my lead foil guards and much more fun building up a stockpile..... was it Bintang?

I think your Tiger looks great. Very well executed and the whitewash looks right on.

Looks good. Did you make the exhaust guards from beer cans too?

The can trick for the mudguards looks like it worked well! Very nice rust on the rivets, do you mind sharing your tecnique?
thanks

I cut beer can, and bent it. I put the rivet from original mud guards.
rust was made from steel wool and I also add several stroke of pastel chalk here and there to blend it

Beautiful Tiger. That's very nice weathering. My only suggestion is to add more rust on the spare tracks.

I'm also a member of the "Beer Can Club." Hehehe...

Looks great. I have always said that drinking beer has a purpose in modeling.

Nice work on your Tiger I, Chris. White-wash camo looks excellent. Weathering looks good as well.

How come you did not use any PE for the sceens on the rear engine deck ? Other then that, I'd say its perfect.

Cheers !!
