My Tiger
First time poster, long time tanker. Here is my 90% complete HL S&S metal upgrade Tiger. I need to add the tow cables and finish some weathering and stuff, but please let me what you think good or bad. I don't think the pictures do it any justice but here it is.
Thanks
Thanks

I really like how the back is all banged & shot up.

Looks great! From a rivet counter's perspective there are a number of things that can be improved upon or changed. As a first timer's knock around tank the weathering and wear and tear is some of the best I've seen. Enjoy!

RE: My Tiger
Thanks for the compliment. I have always been a 1/32 - 1/35 scale modeler and do dioramas and stuff. A tank of this size is harder to detail because its so much easier to see everything.

RE: My Tiger
Nice job on detailing, weathering, and battle damage...I'd like to see you add the track guards with the same effect...anyhow, I can't help wonder where you got your commander, I only saw the back part of it, but he looks like he too was painted nicely...did you paint it yourself?

RE: My Tiger
The commander does look good... here's what I used. A 1/18 Joachim Peiper I got online. I believe there's one on eBay now for about $15. Nice figure and I hated to cut him, but put a small magnet inside so I could reconnect if need be. Velcro keeps him in the cupola good when driving.
There are a few on eBay, search "1/18 Joachim" http://cgi.ebay.com/GERMAN-Joachim-P...QQcmdZViewItem
