My first Tiger

Modeling Subjects Armor

My first attempt at building the King Tiger/Porsche Turret. I tried to finish it in the winter whiote wash of the the winter if 1945. Any suggestions from the experts on German AFV’s would be appreciated.http://community.webshots.com/album/100577057VPjBDw

animal,
The KT looks pretty good from where I sit. I like the whitewash scheme. I want to do a winter scheme but somehow haven’t developed the “guts” to do so. Keep up the good work!

Looks real nice.

I like it. I hope my whitewash scheme turns out as well. How did you do this one?

Dave - how many people do you have on staff in your model building factory. [;)][;)]
Wasn’t it just last week that you were asking about this kit ???

Looks good from here … my only question is in regards to the markings (and I hope some of the Germanfreaks will jump in on this one because they know far more than me). The markings would have been applied before the the whitewash, so would they be 1) covered by the whitewash or 2) would they have just left the area surrounding the markings in the base camo.

Another fine job Dave. Keep that crew of your employed, it’s good for the economy. [;)][;)]

Thanks for sharing as always.

Dave, looks good. I’d have raised the question of the markings but Robert beat me to it. I might add that the tools and cables would also have somehow been covered with the whitewash. I’m sure that in '45 they did not have much time to spend removing bits off the vehicles to keep them ‘clean’… But then maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I think you are right and I will white wash the equipment and markings. It makes more sense this way. Thanks again

Looks great!

I’m not sure about the tools and such. I’ll have to check and see if I have anything that shows it. But in the pics I’ve seen, they usually “painted” the whitewash around with the markings.

Looks really good Animal. Can’t wait to see your next project.

According to my New Vanguard King Tiger book, the area around the markings were not whitewashed. Nice job animal.

Thanks for the info Tigerman I will slop a little white wash on the tools and cables and not the markings.

Great job Animal. One of these days I’m going to try a white wash, right after all the other things I’m going to try one day!

Great job Animal,

Does Animal want Tiger now?[:D]

15

Very very good for a first Tiger job. Much much better than my KT.

These cats never stop to amaze me.

Nice Tiger! Great work, Animal.
I’ve always thought the Porsche-turreted KT looks great in winter camo.

17

looks good! I like the whitewash on it.

I meant to look at this from home last night and overlooked it. I can’t access webshots from here. [:(!]

I’m sure it looks good from seeing your other works so I’ll just go ahead and say good job animal!! If I change my mind after looking this evening I’ll be sure to let you know. [;)] [:D]

I should be hearing from you tonight Eric because I think I did a lousy job on the finish. I just can’t seem to get it to look like the ref photos and no where near some of the models of the real tigers builders here. I guess I’ll stick to my trucks

What kind of sh@t are you trying to pull? That’s no truck [:D]

Excellent work Animal, nice to include a commander too !!

thanks for sharing,
