Königstiger Dragon 1/35

[Drunkmaster]

Hello my friends model makers!

Another tank that gets on my desk. Set one I use is the Dragon 6312, it looks good, so construction should go a lot better than the Panzer IV

In addition it will make the figures and I will try to do a small diorama, we'll see what comes out

The kit, which I will build. Tank;



German tank crew;



Okay, if admission is already now is the time to build

At the beginning I started with Zimmerit, I did various attempts with puttys but it did not work to me as if I wanted to
At last I decided that I would do it a hot screwdriver, risky move ... but I'm happy with the final result.

and inside of the turret



Magic tracks - Wooow I was very afraid of these tracks . I watched many videos on youtube how to do it, and somehow it worked. Finally I used Tamiya extra thin glue.
Very useful video:

Thanks Coen for this video

The next step is making up shortfalls on interior. There still remains a lot to be done



Zimmerit on the turret



And finally! My second figure in 1/35 scale, I bought the proper paint and painting tools, I hope that will be painted figurines better than before







I am currently at the stage of photoetched elements











For now, that's it, for any advice and help I thank you in advance. By the way, I almost forgot, the most important - painting what I plan;

Heavy Tank Battalion 503

You did all that zimmerit with a hot screwdriver, awesome work mate I just bought my second one of these models mainly because the first one looks like crap but I don't think I'll venture into your level of detail. Awesome work

Holy crap that zim looks amazing, superb effect

[UKguyInUSA]

Wow.....nice job with that screwdriver of yours?!

How many times did you have to re-heat the tip of it to do all that and how long did it take overall?!

[FishBowlMan]

Brilliant, mate. The zimmerit looks superb.

[PaulAyrey]

Looks great. Look forward to some paint!

[MaxDalton]

This looks great so far, cant wait to see a bit of paint on it.

looks fantastic - I much prefer the Porsche turret version, methinks I'll add this to the list!

[Drunkmaster]

Thank You for visiting my topic

Ozzie21 It's my second tank in this scale, so I just put the first steps in this subject, zimmerit making by this method is a time consuming, but much easier than using putty

UKguyInUSA I think very long about 8-9 hours of work, you need to warm the tip quite often, but the process is very simple and hard to spoil something (I am most afraid of that)

Returning to the model, made ​​it very well (I have temporarily empty house, because everyone left, and in any free time I build a model)




Degreasing I use IPA (isopropyl alcohol)



I also made a few niggles and painted interior





Today I finished painting the base color



Regards
Paul.

Looks great, my friend!!! I expecially like the small details like the leaves in the camo nets and such. Can't wait to see it in a little dio.

Superb, mate!!!!!!! Great attention to detail.

The figures are excellent as well. That camo pattern must have been hard to paint.
