Front mudguards are done. There should have been plastic that the etch folded around, but I wanted to make them with damage so I left the plastic out.

Great work as always nem, as well as the etch and weathering you're making certain areas of the tank look like they are a bit worn and beat up. Just the way a real WWII Tiger Tank would look in battle. Excellent stuff as usual!   Oh! A question? I just wondered; do you intend to add any battle damage to further enhance the sense of realism? Regards

So this is Will Fey's Tiger, 134, that I have based my Tiger on. I am trying the 'Blutac' technique, not one I have done before, so fingers crossed!!   Well it seems to work well, pleased so far but still have the rest of the hull to do!!  And done, turret and barrel next!!

Wow I have read a lot about using blu tak but like yourself I have never tried it myself. I am glad it worked out for you, it is a great paint job

Very nice indeed. Was beginning to wonder what you had in mind to finish this one and while these sort of builds do not always lend themselves to something that stands out some of the later Tiger schemes do. Very well done as a kit if this size really needed something special and this finish is just that. Happy Modelling

I have started weathering and assembling the interior, so I started with the engine bay. First a dark wash then some dry brushing, matt varnish then finished with city grime pigment.     Now onto the fighting compartment.

This is a joy to follow, it would be so easy to overcook the weathering on this build but you got it just right Steve
