Tiger 822 never got a proper showing after the group build. We didn't get any white stuff to play in after she was complete last year. So a la last years Winter group build- viewtopic.php?t=34859

It looks very close to the original shot. HDP and me did wonder if we could have maybe a sub thread of B&W shots in Show Off. Just on the phone you can make incredible edits these days. I didn't want to ask because at the time the mods had just done the huge re-classification of the Build Log thread so wasn't sure they would be too copacetic to a fairly new member making the request that would cause even more work. But I think if more people tried with some of the incredible tanks posted here there would be some absolute out of tank history book image gems. I did that one of Rob59's Tigers in less than a minute on my iPad. It was begging for a black and white image

Looks very realistic to me.
Hats off sir on the paintjob, weathering and the overall look in the pictures!
Rob.

Quite the opposite mate. Its a great idea.
I will ask Mr Dragon the founder and only remaining Red admin, plus Mr Gunner as Im not sure if he can do such a thing.
I personally am fully in favor of it. Any time I get to see our models in actual real snow is fantastic & the idea of B & W pics in the show of as a sub section might be a very cool thing to see.

I'll ask if it can be achieved & you'll soon know :thumbup:

Also, just ask away, we are happy to field all suggestions that can maintain the interest in the forum and the hobby in general.

Your B&W shot is quite close to the "inspiration," MrChef. However, the angle is just a little bit high. Get that chin and gut down in the mud and snow! :P :haha:
