The little rods - refering to these pic it seems that they also had welds ...


Only adhesive - thats enough ...


The front MG - Tamiya parts - welds will follow ...

Status: offline 		50Kaliber, this is the surface structure - will apear if the Tiger get's his paint ... here you can see it at the rear hatch ...













Wight, excuse, I wrote it not clear enough - this is a part from the wecohe basis set KT (similar to the Aber set's ... you have to built it on your own, but you get the material with all needed messures) ...


And the welds ...

Status: offline 		I see, what did you use? Is it just paint?

I have just one query on the use of this texture, is the texture caused by rust and years of built up layers of paint? Therefore a period tank would not have had such a rough texture as in reality it may have been new, straight off the production line that month and then destroyed....or are you modelling a present day museum exhibit?

Hey Stern, I'm just being the devils advocate, you know a lot more than I do.

Status: offline 		Hallo 50Kaliber,

no, I have used "modelling body putty" - called "Plasto" - from "Revell" -

No, the structure is not caused by rust - it is a result of the production process (shaping) of big steel parts, so also on a new King in 1944 - if you take a near look at a steel boat you will see the same ... do not forget that the effect will become as lower as more paint on the Tiger will get ...

Forward with little screw heads on the turret-blower (blower from Professional; screw heads from the wecohe basic KT set)

Status: offline 		Had been near to Obersturmführer Dollingers (LSSAH) Tiger II 211 in La Gleize (Belgium) and so I took a few photos. Fantastic, because the 211 got a new basic color ...





Some details to the work that is shown above ...

Status: offline 		Hallo 50Kaliber,

I only can express, what Rolf Erhardt, who took part in the fight at the 21./22. December 1944, said. After his discription there had only been Shermans on the mountain side across La Gleize ... so I think that this could be a hit from a Sherman - but an exact reconstruction of the situation is not possible ... Hope that helps.

Greetings

Status: offline 		Stern, I'm amazed by the incredible work that you have done on this King Tiger. I always knew that you were a great modeler, and this work is truely top notch but...I want to see it painted before Christmas! Is that going to be possible?!! How many more details will you need to include before ready to add the camouflage?

Not only do you have a great eye for detail, but apparently the patience of Job, as well!
