Global Scale Modeller

Hi guys.
All done for me this one, well I say done she's not actually finished. The tracks and wheels could do with a bit of attention and I wanted to do a bit more rusting but I can't quite get it right. There is a family illness going on at the moment so I can't concentrate as I would like, so I'm calling her done.
My first TIger, in fact first tank, was a joy to build, I really enjoyed it. I'll never be an expert but I'm definitely going to do more



























So there you go. Please tell what's right but more importantly what's wrong and how I can improve.
Thanks for taking the time to have a little look.
And thanks to Devon and James and of course his Lordship Coen.

Well Done !! Looks great !!

Great result mate, especially if it's your first go at Armour.

Awesome job

That's is excellent work Tim, for someone that's been building armour for a couple of years. Since you say this is pretty much your first, I'd say you did a fantastic job.
The most important part though... was it fun, and did you learn anything new. If those two questions are answered Yes, then no matter how good or bad your work turns out it's a success.
You win on every front with this one bud.
Well freaking done!!!

Thanks to rw, Russ and Dale.. Your feedback is great

Thank you Steve, although I think I've over cooked the weathering, can't wait for the next one buddy..

Looks pretty good to me, in fact it's a very impressive result. Well done!

great work

Cracking job, Tim for your first attempt at the dark side! I haven't dared to brave an attempt in that area, I'm too comfortable in the light!

Thanks guys...

Oh Martin that simply won't do, have a go, it really is ok, quite liberating in fact.....it's just them damn tracks
Thank you for your kind words Martin..

Hi Tim ,

Very Nice result, real good ! Also agreed with you , building armor is really fun , but the tracks...

Thats a great looking Tiger and this is your first one - wow!!

Wow. ... Beautiful build

Looks mighty impressive, especially in real plantation

This turned out really nice. Digging that chipping on the fenders (kind of looks exactly like my chipping).

very nice !

Thanks fellas, it's means a lot to me that you all bothered to comment in the first place, let alone bigging me and my Tiger up like that...... You guys....

Excellent!
