I have to go back over the cables and tool brackets and try to bring more definition,or clarity to these parts.Or is it just that grey seems to over shadow the details.Either way Steiner's Tiger is perfect.But is it WSN-TORRO-Tamiya,I can not tell,Sax

Oz, Sax, Thanks for the kind comments. Oz, me and Sax would never have got to this stage if it wasn't for all of your help. Nothing has been a trouble to you and being able to pm you for advice/ help has been a God send. Not many modelers would pass on the Knowledge about painting/weathering skills as you have done. ( Its like being in the magic circle. my lips are sealed on how its done. LOL )
Blake, this is an HL Tiger and after the money I have spent it should have been a Tamiya Tiger. LOL. It is far from perfect, but I'm happy with the finished result. We have both been able to encourage each other along the way and be given encouragement and thats been a big help. You and Oz started this thread so its great that you will finish it. Nearly 3000 hits, who would have thought it
Oz, I like the sound of the hard edged camo technique, paint dot fading. I would like to learn how to do that
Cheers
STEINER

I have a few more details to complete,a few more parts coming from Bill@rccommand and a new transmitter.I have managed to get my gun to fire properly and it's very strong and accurate with the Tamiya barrel,but the darn limit switch is working backwards so the recoil is also working backwards.I have the barrel at full recoil so I can At least shoot the gun,anyway here's the deal by this time next week I will be finished with my Tiger,I will post some outdoor pictures and it's done.Next up Jagdpanther in winter camo. cheers for now if I receive my parts by Saturday I can finish by Sunday.Blake

In a word yes,something very much like that but with a less riged lines.But I have not seen anyone attempt a winter camo,it's like the new Panther's pattern in grey's and white.just like the second Panther in the picture.sax
