Thank you, guys! I'm pretty happy with it for being my first (lg scale) military paint job since the early 80s. I have a jagdtiger lower & upper hulls coming in the mail, so I'll be tackling that next and a HL King Tiger, as well.

Very nice piccy's of your Tiger.
Light weathering is always good as are a few scuffs and scratches.

Seconding everyone else's comments on the weathering, your paint chipping is top-notch. Nice work!
