Nige freezing winter tiger!!

[Nige99]

Cheers guys, I'm going to do I White dot filter on the upper surface (cheers Mike for the recommendation) then Matt varnish it. I think that will be enough. Do the tracks, then I can start on the dio.

[Paul]

Nice work mate, you sure that building is big enough though

[Nige99]

What?? My house yes I think it is mate.

[wappynutter]

Excellent stuff Nige....
That diorama is gonna be EPIC!!!
Good luck buddy, will stick around and watch you work some magic...

[Nige99]

Help with Friul tracks please! Roughly How many links are there each side please?

[Coen]

96-100 depending on the kit, and the type of fruil tracks that you have Nige.

[Nige99]

Cheers for the info Mike I've got the right tracks this time mate! The initial mirror tracks. Took me 2 1/2 hours to do fifty! Loads of drilling required.

[Coen]

It took me 2 and a half for each side on the king tiger that I'm working on at the moment... gotta love fruil finger.

[Nige99]

Oh right! That's ok then and yes my finger and thumb are sore as hell

[Nige99]

Nearly done now! Bit of work on the tracks then it's dio time

Anyway I managed to do a bit on the dio.










Still gots lots of detailing to do but its getting somewhere now.

[MarkVerploeg]

[Paul]

Great work mate, keep your chin up too

[Coen]

Holy hell Nige!!!
I would imagine it would knock the stuffing outa you. Dude! you have my sympathies.
Truly bud. I've been there, it's a crap place.

The work on the dio is amazing, I don't know how you can concentrate on that. Wow.
You've got more sand in your britches than I do.

[timtamtung]

Dedicate this build to them

[Nige99]

Cheers for the kind words fellers life can be Brad Pitt on times but it still goes on, kicking and screaming you have to get on with it.

[wappynutter]

[Russ72]

Dio's looking good mate.

[Nige99]

I should have this dio finished by the weekend then it's 5 figures to paint. I'm hoping I'll have enough time to finish.

[Nige99]

The dio is done just the figures to do.

[Nige99]

The dio is done just the figures to do.

[Coen]

Ah now this is coming along nicely Nige!
Awesome. Did you make those icicles or did they come as a dio kit?
That interior for the building is superb dude.

[Nige99]

I used a hot glue gun, then I trimmed them down Mike.

[alextheblue]

That is incredible Nige, just breathtaking. I love the Tiger, but the dio and especially the building is jaw-dropping. Every time I look at the pictures I keep seeing something new. I actually had to stand up and give you a one man standing ovation!!

[MarkVerploeg]

I am a big fan of winter diorama's
And you sir are making my day with this build
Great work

[Nige99]
