Tiger repaint
So I started with a Taigen Tiger 1 grey, added camouflage as i thought a crew would put on their tiger at first was happy then saw other peoples Tigers. After a lot of thought Ive repainted my Tiger as Michael Wittmanns S21, happy now just need to add chipped paint effects weathering and finish things like Jack block, and a few other things like track weathering.

Re: Tiger repaint
Looks awesome, Steve! (I finally got a chance to take a look at it!) I'm digging the first one too; reminds me of a field service paint job, very cool, and unique.
Re: Tiger repaint
Thanks guys I'm chipping and weathering now, will post pics when I'm happy, might be a while haha, at least the rusting is done as that wasn't much to do, as I think crews would look after their Tigers and touch the paint up if it was too rusty.

Re: Tiger repaint
Well I've been busy with paint brush and sponge on a stick and I'm quite happy with the results, I've removed the tank kill decals as they were shinny and didn't look right. Im going to try and do them another way, but here is how she looks now.

Re: Tiger repaint
Looks great, Steve. I wish my (early) HL Tiger1 had the separate tools; mine are molded into the hull and I was feeling lazy about removing them, so I had to make shadows and whatnot to hide the fact they are crap. Are those the Aber cleaning rods?
Re: Tiger repaint
Yes they are the Aber cleaning rods, they were tricky to make but worth it, I'm kinda itching to do another Tiger now a late one

Re: Tiger repaint
So here's two video's of the Tiger in action one during the day and one at dusk so the gun flash from the machine gun in the gun mantle can be seen.
