Appreciate the comments Mr Rainford.
Got a bit more done.
Tracks are on, tow cables, almost finished mounting the barrel support, and as I didn't want to wait for an Aber hull Mg, I dressed an HL cupola MG and cut it to fit my ball.
Added last pigment to shackles and missed bits & now it's looking a lot more betterer!

Yes Wow, indeed Mr Herman!
Been a while since I looked in on this build and it has come on in leaps and bounds - truly inspirational work. I love how rugged and 'real' it looks, the weld seams, torch cuts, casting finish, paint, everything really. If I ever do a Jagdtiger this will be one of my reference models/threads for sure.

It is builds like this that make me realize how pathetic my projects are in comparison. Mine are so pedestrian when stacked next to this work of art. Well done Sir!

Thank you Dr, it an imposing thing with its battleship barrel & wide squat pose, so its going to be one of the favorites in the end.
Almost there, but as seems to be the case, last details take an age to complete.

Cheers Mr Cruiser, but remember I learned as I went & it only matters if you give it a go & be damned if a man lets the critics count
I too have looked on with shaking head at the skills & execution of many others here, but they only give me a level to aim for and tips or techniques to learn form so I can get better.
Plus, its YOUR tank and you do this for recreation, liver damage, early eyesight failure, financial destruction and premature baldness..............other than that, its easy
