King Tiger Porsche

Post by **burnie43** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 6:25 pm

Hi all
I thought that after all my moaning and whinging about photo etch I had best post a few pics of the cause of said mumbles,,,,this King Tiger build was inspired by Coen's Kurt Knispel youtube build.......yes Coen it's all your fault!!

I normally like to just add turned barrels and some mesh grills to my builds but this time I have pushed the envelope after viewing a lot of builds on here...I have used Eduard etch and Tamiya Zimmerit so far

starting to enjoy the build now

thanks for looking

I really like Halfords red primer ( quite realistic as German armour was mostly in red primer)

Migg Ammo Dunkelgelb base and then a wee light coat of Dunkelgelb aus 44 DG1

and so far....

DSCF4782 (640x480).jpg

The etch issues were caused by me using picture hanging wire in place of the tow cables, it was toooo heavy ( after that I am enjoying now)

DSCF4783 (640x480).jpg

The chaos of my work....thats just how I roll

I did wee bit on the base as well today but I'll leave that till my next post

good progress

Looks like a proper Tiger II to me

I like that primer colour too. If you decide to use the hairspray method or something similar on a future build that base would go nicely.

I downloaded and watched all 6 of the kurt knispel tank build vids all at once, im Konigs Tiger drunk, and it was hilarious that you sprayed the tank in the wrong camo at first, great job though mate!

Burnie, how did you find the Tamiya Zimmerit, easy to use or not mate, any problems getting it to conform to the turret ? KT Looks good to me well done fella

It's the first time that I have used the Tamiya Zimmerit and I thought that it was good, dead easy.... after putting it on I got the hairdryer out ( only ever used for modelling!!) which warmed up the adhesive and made it slightly more pliable.......no problems at all and it's half the price of Atak Zimmerit and easier to get.....

Lovely work mate so far, really impressed.
The Halfords Primer Range are very good, I use the White for Figures and black for Tanks.
Awesome job.

So I've finally got the KT in primer and the pre shading is done......photo etch has really slowed down my building but it's definitely worth it,,,apart from the super glue blobs that is!!!

Looks very nice burnie
If i may give one tip about the primer
The red primer you used looks good so i got nothing on that but the barrels where voated in a heat resistant primer this was a dark grwy and just a little lighter then the german hrey that serves as a camo color
Just in case you want some chipping on the barrel
Looking forward to seeing some more
Cheers Mark

Appreciate the comments Mark, yeah I knew about the barrels being primed in gray but this primer is all going to be hidden once im done, in fact the cam net is to hide the muzzle error that I made.......excitement got the better of me.

Camo pattern and decals done with a Mig Ammo filter on the bottom half ( never used Mig filters before and i was really happy with the subtle effect it gave)

Ooooh mate, she is looking fine now.

).
Great work on this King.

Thanks John...lol, no I'm not a tailor but I am very pleased so far although the King Tiger is no longer a kurt knispel one as I felt that I was getting all confused and uptight and I didn't want to steal Coen's ideas ( well not all of them!!) trying to get it spot on so i just went with the flow....
cheers

Looka bloody excellent mate! Fits the scene very well, and the paintjob is fantastic. I love the addition of the jacket, a wee guide on how to do that would be appreciated by many I am sure!

Post by **burnie43** » Sun Jul 12, 2015 5:35 pm

Gav
Thanks for the comments....
I could do a wee guide if there was anyone interested I guess, that would mean that I would have to think about what I did.....I'm generally in the habit of just doing but the jacket was quite straightforward I think!!
cheers mate

Awesome job bud!
That's some damn fine work.

Post by **Oper8or** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 3:41 am

That is some fantastic work there sir! I love the jacket laying on the front. Gives the idea he got tired of waiting and took it off. Is the map done with the same stuff? That makes the scene for me. Them looking over the map up on the tank. Not hiding inside looking at it. I love the work you have done with this. Kind of makes me want to change my mind on my next build, but I cant. I've already decided what I am doing.

Post by **burnie43** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 12:09 pm

thanks peeps
Coen, this was inspired by you.......although it went off track a wee bit . I'm happy with the result...
Thank you
Mark

I'm sold. Got to try that brand of paints. The base color is perfect. Great build.

Arkbuilder
It took me a wee bit to get used to them as I was a Tamiya paint kinda guy, spray very thinly and let each coat dry before re-covering or you will get an orange peel effect
Excuse me if I'm teaching my Granny to suck eggs !!
