Abandoned late-war King Tiger

Post by Prop72 »

1/72 Revell kit with a little scratch building for hatch handles, fuel dump lines, extra armour over the rear hull, and a few other odds and ends. I used modelling clay to build the base and some still water. The greenery is a mixture of static modelling materials and pieces I found in my garden.

Holy crow Alex!
Now that's beautiful work bud. You can add that one to you collection as a successful build.
It's wonderful.

There is a photograph of a KOed tiger II in Normandy that may have been your inspiration maybe? There are a lot of similarities. Fantastic job of it bud.

Thanks for the comments, guys! :)

Mike, you're right, that was the photo that initially inspired me, along with a few 'octo-camo' photos.

It was well chosen then. And you're a brave man for dealing with octocamo. That's insane.
