Tiger 1 detailed build.

This section is for builds that are not strictly Tamiya or Heng Long. For instance, replacing the electronics from a WSN or Matorro, or even a scratch-build.

Thanks guys for the kind comments. Ive now painted and detailed the lower hull, all that is left is the exhaust shrouds. Just waiting on paint masks to arrive then I can stencil the upper hull. On the road to completion.

Massive shout out to Rad for making me a set of custom masks for the build, would of been sunk without him. Great communication throughout and better prices than decals. Would strongly recommend contacting him if you ever need masks.

Today I have been painting the turret armour tracks. Pretty happy with how they have turned out. Still need to Matt coat varnish them and add some pigments. More to follow. Image

Thanks boss, I should hopefully get the exhaust shrouds on today, or at least that is the plan. Will update once I've gotten some more work done.

Awesome Tiger build! It shows how much effort you’ve put into it. I really like the weld seams.
