Pauls 1/35 Cyberhobby 6610 Wittmans Last Tiger 1

Post by **Paul** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:12 pm

Bought this kit a few months back and cant think of anything else worthier than this sig to build this beauty.

No dio base planned, but i will add crew (if i think there suitable) and i have a wittman figure knocking about too

Great choice Paul! Cant wait to see how it comes out. Thank you for joining in.

Nice!
Where did you find that crew set. I haven't seen that one before?
It looks really cool.

I'm always interested in seeing figures of Wittmann.
I haven't seen that set before so you've got my attention with it haha.
It's really an excellent match for that kit too.

I wanted that kit for a while
And i found one but at a insane price
Looking forward to the build
Cheers Mark

This is one I surely will follow

Post by **Hillbilly** » Thu Dec 18, 2014 11:09 pm

This will be an awesome build! Love that Whittmann figure also

Post by **Paul** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 12:58 pm

I just added another two tigers to the stash and again I'm having a dilemma which one to build. Think I'm gonna stick to the late wittman as I've got a set of friul for a late so it makes sense too.

Got a few Tiger 1's now, so you can see the trouble I've had choosing

And a group kitty shot, I'm set for tigers for a long time

Still... bugger.

Lucky bugger... but ... haha.

More work today, lots of parts attached including getting the hull buttoned up, tow cables on etc and the rest of the zim armour plates attached.

Berna clamps used properly they don't fall off

How it looks at the end of play today

Looking very good sir

I'm surprised interpol isn't after you, having so many tigers hoarded in your home

Post by **Coen** » Sat Jan 03, 2015 1:48 am

Damn! You're just sailing along bud. I thought that Jon was the furthest in but you're almost done.
Looks nice and neat, very much a Paul build.... that's a good thing buddy.

Post by **jbellos1** » Sat Jan 03, 2015 6:46 am

OMG, that looks marvepoo! I like the looks of the clean build too. What a great kit.

Cannot wait to see you progress, but I will just have to won't I?

That looks a lot like a tiger tank bud.

Nice.

Post by **NAMBiohazard** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 9:04 am

I have to take my hate off to you guys.......
Those tool clamps are the death of me, how do you manage to get them built?

you guys ain't wasting anytime on building

Post by **Hillbilly** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 3:57 pm

Holy crap

You are sailing right along on this build!Really looks the part

Post by **Art17847** » Sun Jan 04, 2015 5:37 pm

wow that's lookin awesome .....talk about feeling like a slacker I have yet to take sprue shots and I'm still waiting for some kits to arrive to do the dio.....great job Paul

Post by **Paul** » Mon Jan 05, 2015 11:37 pm

So,after just 4 days it's all built along with the friul tracks. There's a few more things to add but I'll add those once it's been weathered etc as I'll end up knocking them off lol

Primer next

Post by **jbellos1** » Mon Jan 05, 2015 11:57 pm

Just an awesome build Paul. Love this kitty

Post by **wesleye18** » Tue Jan 06, 2015 12:31 am

Looks the bee's knee's paul!

Post by **Coen** » Tue Jan 06, 2015 11:33 am

Meh ...needs salt.

Post by **Paul** » Tue Jan 06, 2015 10:56 pm

Thought I was finished with this but I left a few things off and mike kindly pointed out a few things I'd left off. I added the front zim plate on the lower hull and put the pe zim plate in the right place (damn instructions) while at it I removed one of the side skirts and added more damage to the rest of them

I also got it primed using the badger black primer

Post by **JayCub** » Wed Jan 07, 2015 11:33 pm

Looking really awesome Paul, the badger primer looks even smooth and flat black on this screen at least
one nice kitty

Wow...I'm so far behind a lot of youu guys now. I'm still a day or two away from paint haha.
That looks great Paul. That finish with that primer is excellent.

Post by **eightfooticeman** » Sat Jan 10, 2015 3:44 pm

Paul I'm very impressed with your progress with such a complicated build, at least for me anyway. LOL, looks great mate those tracks are the real deal sir!

Post by **hook1169** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 5:59 pm

Looks like you're progressing well on this build. Turning out top notch!

Post by **Paul** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 5:08 pm

So got the camo pattern done today, used a mixture of box art, book pictures (thanks mike) and my own idea to get this pattern, if it looks crap so be it lol.

I used mig numbers 02, 11 and 15 and gave my iwata custom a good run today and its superb

Post by **Hillbilly** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 6:10 pm

Nothin wrong with that camo,looks spot on to me.

Post by **PaulAyrey** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:25 pm
