1/72 Jagdtiger

Well I got back into the hobby about a year ago after a 20yr hiatus. Sound familiar? This was one of the first kits I purchased and started on, notice I said ONE OF THE FIRST. I started several since then all of which are in different stages. But this one is finally in the home stretch, so thought I would share. I should note that from about April '13 to Sept' 13 I was not active at all and my bench was vacant due to busy work life. Luckily I now have more time.

Anyway this really isn't a progress pic from start to finish, but thought I would share where I am at now. Which is just finishing up the weathering.

Here is the box art.



Here is where I am at after first round of weathering.









And once done with mud and stuff, I plan on placing it in this little gem.



Thanks for looking. Feels good to finally be close to finishing one of the 5 or 6 builds i got on the bench... EEK. Any feedback is welcomed.

Fantastic work sir.....
You have worked it well and produced a kit worthy of lots of praise.
I hope you crack on with that command post as I always fancied that kit but have never seen one built from start to finish
Maybe you could start a build thread when you find the time to work on it??
Well done again mate, good luck with your other builds..

That's actually a great idea. I think maybe if I did a build thread, it would help me stay on track, as well as a way for me to ask for advice along the way. Which I am always appreciative of.

Thanks all

You'll always find a helpful modeller on ISM mate...
....and yeah you could show us your build, ask advise and then show the advise put to good use on the next post..
Excellent, we all learn from your build then.
I too am a recent returnee after 30+ years so not very confident.... got bags of passion and enthusiasm though!
Good luck chap.... well done again......

it will look fantastic on the diorama when finished, and i know what you mean by getting a few finished.
looking forward to following your build progress.
