King Tiger 323 - Ready For War

Thanks mate

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I admire the detail on the antenna. And I if I see correctly (always an "if" for me) the fire extinguisher is painted over in the camouflage color. I have seen so many different colors on those fire extinguishers: perhaps your simply having an imaginary 1/16 crew member paint them with the underlying color is the best solution of all.

Hi Dr,
I’ve repainted extinguisher and added some wear to it and a slight dirty wash for more realism.

Extinguisher now attached it makes me wonder if I should now go over chipping on rest of tank.
It’s surprising how many different chip techniques there are, applying a light undercoat then a dark chip is really effective.

Good Morning!
This Tank is really coming along! Another teaser for you. Take some soldering wire and little bits of brass strip and make the Fuel Tank vent line. Adds a ton of eye candy for relatively little work. Following along!
regards,
Painless

cool tip and looks good

[Herr Dr. Professor]

It took me a while to find the fuel tank vent line. Geepers creepers, these are old peepers.
In the photos just above, I see super-detailing on the fire extinguisher. Nice!

Apologies all,
The Focus Zoom on my Camera Phone sometimes has a mind of it's own. I added the 2nd Pic to draw the focus more to the Vent Line.
regards,
Painless

Oh, Painless, that perfectly clear photo was there when I looked earlier today. "These are old peepers" referred to my eyes (and/or brain).
