A few weeks back I posted this build video of the complete overhaul of a Matorro Jagdtiger.

The build its self took along time but the video actually took longer in edit time and what not.

I was abit taken back when only one person responded to it. Was something wrong that Im not aware of? Or is simply no one intrested in this?

I must have missed it. I'll be sure to watch it when I get home and have a large enough screen to better see your hard work.

But I know how you feel hardly anyone commented on my King Tiger build and I spent 9 months building it. Depressing isn't it?

I saw it. Nice video. The Matorro JT was always a bit of an odd duck (I had one but sold it a while ago) and hard to come by for the longest time. I think the Heng Long release probably put a damper on the enthusiasm and interest perhaps ?

Hi Just watched your video .great paint job and weathering. Wish I could paint like that. Regards the tracks the way I do them is a lot easier and quicker I run them in a big muddy puddle let them dry then run them on concrete patio to shine the high spots and it also shines the inside wear the wheels run. The more you run them outside the better they look have run them in sand, mud, grass as well as the concrete patio.

regards pete

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I did spend some time on her and I was a bit confused when no one commented. I was hoping that there was just not alot of intrest in it and that it was not a case of silent critisim. I enjoy constructive critisim and it helps all of us continue to get better at our craft.

This Jagdtiger is listed for sale in my ETSY shop if anyone is intrested.

Thanks!

Good evening,
I think I was out of town on vacation when this came out. The paint job is astounding of course! Nice marketing on the 'Grime' ;o)

Thank you my friend!

The Magic Grime is a mix of stuff I have experimented with for years. Im finally happy with all my colors and thought I would offer it up to the public but no one seems to be intrested. Honestly I dont have the time to produce the stuff in mass anyway but it has helped me alot and I let my kids use it because its water based unlike most weathering techniques which envolve enamel and paint thinner (white spirit).

First off I'd like to say you've done an excellent job with the JT.

I hadn't seen the video because I prefer watching videos of tank running around. I find videos of still pictures kind of boring, no matter how well done. I'd prefer to see the pictures in a build thread. That way I can really study the parts that interest me and skim through the other bits (I can also save pics for future reference).

As for comments, I usually browse this forum on a tablet and it's an pain in the ass typing on that (so much so I don't bother) and when I'm on my PC I'm slow at typing and dyslexic so it takes time to write out a reply, correct it (go make a brew) then retype it all over again so that other people can understand what I'm trying to say. Which takes a long time.

It's taken me almost 20mins to type this reply. So don't be put off if people don't reply to stuff, if you enjoy doing something then just keep doing it.

Saw it loved it commented on it,can't afford it
