The interior is astonishing.
The copper wire work alone is award winning.

Re: HOWS THIS JOKERS FORM !!!
That's really really impressive, watchmaker level of finesse.
Some of the full interior kits are superb. If you have a chance to pick up a copy of the superking book about building trumpeter 1/16 king tiger i would do it. Superb detailing, one of the best I've seen.

I am building rfm's tiger 1 with full interior. Probably the most challenging kit I've done. The results are seriously good though (my skills aren't bad but not on the level of the others!). Would recommend the kit, it's very very good.

Re: HOWS THIS JOKERS FORM !!!
Both of those interiors are stunning. Way beyond my abilities. Especially in 1/35. My eyes and fingers have enough problem doing exterior details on 1/16 tanks

Re: HOWS THIS JOKERS FORM !!!
I have a 1/35 full interior king tiger to do. I like the larger scales more as they really are easier. I just dont have a big enough house!
Finished a 1/350 tirpitz and kgv a few months ago
Got a load of 1/200 rc ships as well inherited from my dad that are being renovated.
As well as a raft of 1/16 tanks!

I watched a friend work out splinter camouflage on a 1:350 ship as on your Tirpitz: planning and intricate masking conquered the tricky scheme.

Re: HOWS THIS JOKERS FORM !!!
Dang! I'd need to drink a quart of Jack Daniels rotgut just to calm my hand tremors for that kind of work. Course, I'd be blind by that point...

Re: HOWS THIS JOKERS FORM !!!
I do find that jack daniels helps in most situations like this 
Tirpitz was lots of masking with tamiya masking tape which is the best for low tack, then sub assemblies. Took about 8 months. About 2500 pieces with photo etch included.
Renovating my late fathers fleet, doing an rc sboat at the moment. Migs masking putty is really good for the intricate camo. Used it on a jagdtiger build as well which i will do a thread of.
I can't do figures at all, my brother is exceptional at them. I hand them to him if I need any doing!
