Re: Jussek's Königstiger (Torro Metal Ed.)
I found the easiest way to do the dots is to dip a cotton swab in the paint and to start dotting the tank!
I agree most people do too few dots, I think you've done an excellent job of duplicating them. Your tank is looking fantastic! I'm building mine and I wish I were able to do half as good a job as you have.

Re: Jussek's Königstiger (Torro Metal Ed.)
Depends if you go factory finish or not. There is a really good study on it here, but only really applies to factory applied ambush, which is the post zimmerit stage:

Re: Jussek's Königstiger (Torro Metal Ed.)
hello again
thanks a lot for your kind comments!
billpe, could you please provide us with the complete link? as i said, there is no proof -of what i'm aware of- that there existed an order that no dots were to be applied over the zimmerit, i know i'm looking for an exception here in order to do my job more 'historically accurate', is for this that i said before i will use certain 'artistic license' here![Thumbup :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumbup.gif)
well, the works of the last days:
i used these self-made templates to paint the numbers and balkankreuz

finally, i was not even sure how to do the white outline on the turret numbers, as for not to spoil the job already done, i decided not to paint this outline, so low visibility black numbers only
then, i applied a coat of glossy varnish in order the oils will flow better and to protect the previous paint works before starting the weathering process.

after a filter was applied all over the tank, i applied the oil dots Technic in order to add more Chromatic variations and to 'melt' a bit the colours
then the pigments, made from chalk pastels
