King Tiger

I got some good feedback on my Sherman so I'm gonna keep going.
King Tiger's turn.

Any comments as always appreciated.

Well, your mud is cool! Never enough mud, and nicely applied!

- I think the camo netting is off (scale wise), not really historical and blocking important viewports for driving, aiming, shooting, etc.
- The exhausts could never be this rusty, they had the same paint as the rest of the tank and had no time to rust.

Oh, I think painting the tools would be a nice and easy improvement!

I used gauze and dipped it in paint and white glue. Then added some dried vine for fun!

Very realistic!

i tried the gauze, Elmers, color thing. i just made a mess.

is there a youtube video? or other "camo for dummies" instructions out there?

i'll fix the exhausts.

appreciate the input.

I love your work, continued improvements and your enthusiasm

I did camo nets for several of my tanks but found that they snagged too much stuff when running in the wild. The only tank I have left with it now is my Jagdpanther. Same gauze, Elmer's "PVA" glue, Tamiya paint method-

Well, this is how I did it on some of my tanks.
Wrap some thin metal wire around the main gun, but not too tight!
Now you can stick some natural foliage with small leafs out of you garden, between the wire and gun barrel.
Or you can buy green leafs for camo somewhere online.
Here‘s my Panther Ausf.-F

Or if you want to use a net, I took some bandage out of a first aid box.
Sprayed it grey (in my case) and added some dried kitchen herbs onto it, to make it look like leafs.
Glued the herbs on with white glue, thinned with water.
This is my early Tiger 1

If you should own a Panther or Jagdpanther you could also ad some wires onto the superstructure or turret, in which you could stick some green stuff too.
Plenty of ways to camo your tanks!

I appreciate the input. I removed my attempt at camo from my KT and Panther.
 
They'll have to take their chances with the Hurricanes, Mustangs, and Thunderbolts.

Why?
You always can go this way….
