Ok by popular demand........... .well ok 2 people :D here hopefully are some more pics of the latest incarnation of my Tiger 1...NOT yet finished there is still a lot to do dusting it with fine mist and matt varnish etc etc but I think its starting to look what I invisaged. Don't think it looks too bad. Any comments good or bad are welcome.

Excellent Job,really like the weathering very real appearance. Perhaps you might consider sharing your technique with the forum,I for one would be very interested in the stages as the photo's make reference to 4-stages?

Also interested in the base coating,and if you used a specific type of primer and paint? Acrylic or Enamel?

This is a Masterclass Tiger,I would welcome learning from your experience. I'm sure others here share my envy.

I second Blake on this...I have never done camo on large tanks, so more info the better! :thumbup:

Blake and Nic.

Blake, I have used enamels and acrylics and pastels and all sorts of stuff that you may not have heard of or thought of using to get the weathering to this stage.

I am quite Honoured that you think its good enough for the masterclass section and she aint even finished, hopefully I will get it done soon as I have a Jagdpanther and a Walker bulldog to give the same treatment to.
I will post some more better quality pics when I have finished the tigger and hopefully she will look ok.

Once again thx for your kind remarks.
