KING TIGER, OCTOPUSS CAMO 1945

Post by HERMAN BIX »

My version of one of the last King Cats to see action, if not the most enigmatic of them all.

Thanks for your support & comments, the next project now looms large.................

Well..............hand painted, all 211 of them. Cut up a brush into a thin flat wedge shape & used a long stick to rest the arm on.
Tell ya what, winter white wash is way easier :/
