Done a bit more to this heavy old brute........not finished yet.
Slowly weathering this Tiger.......don't want to go to much though.
Cutting the side fenders is on the to do list.....with some slight damage to them.......I've got the heat gun ready
Cheers

Mark Hi,
The side fenders are in 4 sections and were quite separate, to get that effect I stick a piece of Duct/Duck tape down each side of the slot to protect the edge of the fender then cut down the slot with a micro saw blade so that the fenders are now clearly independant ,
I am enjoying your build, not to busy but just as it should be.

Hi Jarndice .....thanks for the advice...very appreciated. I'm really enjoying it
And thanks very much for enjoying the build. Like you said, not to busy, just weathering it a tad. But I'm getting more confident with the advice and tips from you guys. This forum is invaluable for the enthusiast and I enjoy going back through threads and pics of different builds from you guys.......
Cheers Shaun
Regards
Mark

Thanks for the comments guys.......Scalawag the Balkan crosses are now coming off......it's a good point, I never really liked them due to the shine as well ! Once I've cut the fenders I will then add just a tad more weathering......it's addictive
Cheers
Mark
