Glad to hear that from you Soeren. It is every time again nice to see, how other modellers appraise my own model...
Thanks again.

Simply amazing

Wow, you did a great job on this build!!! I really like your camo paint job, number stenciling, and damaged Zimmrit work.
Bravo on the scratch built starter hand crank,, very nice detail work!! Your work is very inspirational to others trying to achieve an awesome looking Tiger.

Good afternoon,
Hotte is our Man on Tigers around here, especially with this Beauty. Look up his late Panther G Build sometime for more eye popping authenticity.

That's how it should be.

In this part it goes as announced about pollution at the lower hull.



All around some dirt splashes,…





…at the rear wall and especially at the rear fenders were a bit more polluted.



This time I would display some dried mud at the road wheels. For that I’ve experimented with a mixture of pigments and linseed oil. pictures…









The side fenders receive also at the upper side some dirt splashes.





Thereafter I’ve worked again at the barrel cleaning rods; they were taped and the metallic ends receive a paint.



Than they look like this one.



The muzzle brake receives also a treatment.



Barrel cleaning rods and tow ropes were for sample at the Tiger mounted,…





…the real completion will be done next time.

Nice job on the weathering process for the lower hull and running gear!! Did you use any specific products for these affects?

Hello Burger_Patrol1,

as I wrote. As first the desired camouflage pattern with acrylic paints. Thereafter a filtering with turpentine oil and little drop oil paints in each base colour. The dirt splashes are made from pigments, linseed oil and turpentine oil. Applied with a brush and my airbrush gun, using only air to blow it against the lower hull. The thick mud splashes are a mixture of pigments and linseed oil, applied with a tooth picker.
Oil paints and linseed oil neeeds more time to dry; this can be shortened in a warm environment.

Good work! Weathering turned out well.
