Hi Andy, If you scroll down to HENG LONG BUILDS you will find HERMAN BIX's King Tiger Octopus camo build,
Find it on sub page 4
titled "Production" Turret King Tiger.
In truth as with all Herman's work a true tour de force.

From what I understand the Panther also used the octopus camo pattern as well.

That's an "AMBUSH" pattern, not "OCTOPUS".
But it does look nice.

Your "Octopus" Tiger is very convincing and looks just smashing. Really, very nice job.
A stupid question as the answer looks straight forward enough, but what material did you use to create the ribs on the front mud guards? Also, what paints did you use? The overall affect is quite nice. Great work!
