support YOUR TOTM competition, I'm doing my part, are YOU? 
Nice, but l already have one just like that. I've laboured over Google images but nothing inspired me - there's plenty there but its all what you'd expect and l fancy something grey based but different, unconventional but acceptable. Jimster is the closest, different greys.midlife306 wrote:Not sure if this will help or not, I typed “sexy German camouflage ” into google & this came up....

), and am now reluctant to butcher it. If I bought yet another 'burner' Sherman (no pun), the fear is that it might win the same reprieve. 
Drat. Now that's the sort of thing l was thinking of - thanks for posting the photo. For once I'm not too bothered about copying a prototype so I'm prepared to go a little bit funky!

The problem with the grey Tiger 1, according to out visiting Tiger Boffin, David Byrden, is that in reality maybe only as few as 30, of the 1350 produced, were ever painted with a grey base. Realistically, a winter camo is probably the way to go, or grey with a secondary coat of red/brown or dark green...or both.

The problem isn't so much what to do with an early Tiger, but with buying donor tanks.
I bought a donor Sherman for my putative Firefly project, but took an inconvenient shine to it (

Donor tanks...yes! I've never been a fan of the Tiger 1 - a bit boxy, overweight, but my first one l bought to get my hands on the then new v5.3 unit to use in a King Tiger. It never got there! The same goes for this new one. As you say, its easy to grow fond of models that didn't turn you on! I confess that Liz Hurley did it for me at first glance
Hmm.. but I've never thought of acquiring a Liz Hurley Mk 1... in winter camo.
