Your Tiger is a dirty, rusted, abused, paint faded, dented hunk of Krupp armor that seems like it was hand painted. So I say to you, GREAT JOB!!!! Wow! That is some great work!! You nailed it. Bullet holes are well done. Looks like she got nailed with a 37mm. If this was your first, can't wait for the next one!!!

How did you replicate the fading gray? I have hit on an idea that seems to work. All you need is a paper towel and a bag of potato chips.

Step 1 Eat some chips

Step 2 Run your now greasy hands all over your tank

Step 3 With the paper towel wipe some of the potato grease off, and get rid of hand and finger prints

Step 4 Paint

This disturbs the Model Master paint just enough to give you some paded and not so good painted areas.
