Old Tamiya King Tiger Re-build

[riggy15]

Evening all, well she's finished (for now). Test drive this afternoon, and after a bit of fine tuning with the RC controls, it worked a treat (Considering I have not done anything like this for ages). I'm sure that over time I will refine the build and get some more weathering done, and add some more bits that are still missing, but for now she's done.

Pics of the final odds and ends.

Hand painted the emblem on the turret sides, I ain't no artist, so I downloaded some images, sized them to the required dimensions, cut two out, stuck em on the turret side, drew the outline, then painted them in.

What a novel way of doing the charging knight emblem, all your own handiwork too brilliant.

I haven't been on here for a long time but I had to check back to see how you got on - you've done a great job on the old girl. She looks superb - congratulations!
