Having looked trough the hints and tips and other posts I have a HL King Tiger that I want to add Zimm to and seeing quiet a few different ways was wondering which way would be bast as some of the posts their is no pics which would be handy for a novice like me ?

Just wanted to point out that this is a plastic HL King Tiger so I'm open to advice

The easiest way would be to use the attack zimmerite kit that I think has now been released. However if you've got a lot (and I mean a serious amount) of patience then you can use miliput and a small slot head screwdriver to get the effect.

You own a KINK TIGER? ....I'd like to see that one get it on

I like the burn method. No worries about that damn putty sticking, no worries about working fast before it dries out. You can do as much or as little at a time as you want. Not hard to do just take a soldering iron tip shape it to the size you want and start. I modeled mine after the Bovington tiger for the size of tip. Here is my KT build using this method with pics.

Lots of people who have seen it finished say it is the best representation of zim they have seen and the best part is if you are going to battle no worries about it coming off, chipping, etc... because it is the base plastic of the hull!

Alpha and Tom that would be a very weird crew that drives my kink tiger lol , but I have sorted it now , and just waiting for Santa to bring my goodies .well if toms tiger had been up before I got my HL one it would of saved me a job but hey hoe.any way back to zimm looking at it I'm going to practice with the soldering iron on the old Tipanther tops I have so fingers crossed, but while we are here what do you guys think about the tank flags and pennants ? As I would like to get a set the same but I have the 2 different KT turrets so did they ever fight together and under what pennant of flag?

Forgot to say thanks DK just looking trough your post and it looks amazing lots of great work to look at but a bit practice before I do it on mine me thinks

Well my first answer was just buy mine, what's better than one king tiger...two!! But I thought it was overly cheeky!
