Global Scale Modeller

Hai guys!
This is my tiger model I've build for my DAK diorama with a Sd.kfz 222 that is also on this forum.
"The tiger should have his own thread because she deserves it" was one of the comments, so here it is!

A huge box and a lot of P/E from Aber and of course White metal tracks from Friull. The alu barrel is from Aber too.


Exhausts were a pain in the Really difficult to put them together...




I like doing realy small detailing, like this spring from the commanders hatch...






AWESOME BARREL


First time doing metal tracks, lot of work and the are heavy, but I thing they are great!


Clamps and clasps... tiny... really tiny... almost makes me crossed eyed


Scatch build some electrical wires for the head lights


Tank crew with Erwin Rommel


Rommels goggles are scratch build too, the were not in the kit..




Replaced the exhaust covers for these P/E ones. The covers that came with the kit were round. And this tiger served in Tunisia, these tanks had square one's


Photo etching and superdetailing finished!


She is big!


Pre shade and first base coat


Added decals and towing cables. The palmtree is airbrushed on


Final coat and weathering




Finished and ready to put in the DAK diorama


Hope you guys enjoyed this ride!

Fantastic Tiger dude.

stunning work love the weathering on your tig and great work on the figures

Really nice build and painting is spot on !!

....at the risk of asking a stupid question: does the scrach hatch spring also work?

There are no stupid questions
No... it does not work anymore.
It did work, but it was keep coming loose, so I glued the whole thing... (don't tell)

It's great to see these close up pics, really shows off the detail and the hard work you've put into this dio.

Forgot to post the dio with The Tiger in it, so here it is..

My eyes are hurting just from the thought of working that hatch spring.......
Once again, well done my friend....
