Here are some progress pictures of my Tiger.am nearly finished with the weathering,might have to give it one more dark wash to add a bit more dirt to the zim.
i started the process with a dark wash and then a burnt sienna wash.after the washes had dryed i mixed up a wash of Tamiya buff and brushed it all over the model to try and give it a dusty look and i think it come out ok .
ill also add some dry mud to the lower hull and road wheels once i make a good enough mix and test it on an old model.

picture before weathering.


after

Very nice Karl,it is good to see that the shine has gone, looks more realistic now. Especially like the way the stowage bin looks, nice one

Karl -

Superb job and really like how this is coming along. Outstanding job on the weathering, it is really bringing out the details. Maybe a little graphite wear in addition? I've got a Tiger I (Mid) planned for the upcomuing "Meow" Campaign and this will be a great inspiration but truly a tough act to follow.
For this "Bad Kitty" maybe your User Signature block should read more like..."advancing to engage it's next targets now silhouetted against the flames of the first hapless T-34, more victims await the Tiger's deadly 88." Keep us posted.
