Looking even more fantastic now Daran, she's definitely going to be something special when you've finished her!!  
Any thoughts on getting some 1:16 crew for her? Maybe a Tamiya or Heng Long Tank Commander? That would certainly look good standing in your superbly weathered turret?!

Superb result Daran - well worth the wait to see it finished!! 
Superb weathering and an all round great build of what I understand is not the most accurate Tiger model out there!! Are you pleased with what you've achieved and with the end result? Really looking forward to seeing the full display in the 'Finished Build Gallery' now?!
Thanks for taking the time to post up your build diary mate, it has been followed with great interest throughout and is very much appreciated!!
All the best Daran,
Kev

Thank you all so much for your comment, and thank you all for following the build! Yes I thoroughly enjoyed this build, knowing it was not accurate and modifying it to become a Tiger that was in battle, made the end result all the more special. Thank you Tomick for the medal, I am proud to be apart of this forum, and to receive the comments and the medal considering the standard of the modelers here, I am well chuffed init!! Pics of the completed build will be up soon in the gallery, thank you all again,
Daran
