Just a little teaser on my dio WIP…the KT DOES fit the base…a few more pics to be posted in the DIO thread…
My teaser comment…Nice
I’ll put more in the dio thread
Shot Over!!
WOW, gor-jee-us!
Impressive looking Tigger! Is that the markings of the 506th around Arnhem at the time of “Market Garden”?
I’m brappin’ over to the Dio’s section right now to get a better look-see! [:P]
The bottom tow cable clamp is off by at least 2 degrees and…[:D] (couldn’t resist)
This looks like its gonna be good, Is that field applied zim?[;)]
OK seriously, what story do we have in mind here? The sheer size is impressive even at this stage. Well done Manny
Steve
[#toast] That Tiger looks great… [tup] really squared away! The hardedge camo is very interesting. Great work[^].
Now,
[D)] I’m off to see the 'dio … …the wonderful dio of … oops uh, [%-)] seems I got caried away there.
Thanks, guys…hope the base catches up with the KT soon…I like the look off the King with the 2 story in the background…sorta gives some scale to the “beast”…darn these things were BIG…
…so far the plan is to have a couple of veteran heavy-tankers out in front of the KT planning some mischief, with a grenadier in the background (on the sidewalk) holding an MP44, doing his best bad#ss impersonation…
Is this the new Dragon w/zimmerit? Looking mighty fine so far. Looking forward to the rest of the build.
I still remember the first (and still the only) KT I’ve ever seen. It made the hair stand up on the back of my neck! That track would make anybody faceing it put on a pair of Depends!
gary
Looking top notch for sure!!
Yep, it is the DML pre-zimmed offering…fine kit…
But Manny,
Where’s the girl in this picture?[:D]
…actually, I am working on one and will probably post her and the rest of the fig pics tonight…hee hee hee[:D]
Did you use the decals from the box? because i heard decals are especially hard to put on Zimmermit.
These Zimmed Offerings look very nice, I think that this is the first I’ve seen built up.
Great question…I gotta say that the decal sheet with this kit was one of the nicest I’ve seen in a kit in a looong time…there were several very colorful markings and the decal quality was good…I just happened to use one of the less “colorful” choices…a gloss finish, plenty of decal solvent, patience and a toothpick coaxed the decals down into the zimm grooves…sometimes you might even need to cut them a little w/ an x-acto to settle them down…
Awesome KingTiger Manny that paint scheme is spot on as is the weathering when i first saw pics of the molded on zim i thought it looked too heavy but seeing it painted up like this has changed my opinion it looks great, i look forward to the finished dio.
Okay, due to popular demand
…trouble is, where should she go in the dio???[%-)]
Option 1 - In the bombed out building, trapped on the upper floor in a tub…
Or…Option 2 - On the Tiger itself, enjoying a bath as the crew pores over maps for the next day’s battle…
I’ll let you guys decide, let me know which option you prefer…
LOL [(-D] No clue.
[(-D]
I bet she is making that Tiger purr right now…[:-^]
Hehehehe another nice one from MR!
How about upstairs and the “krauts” forgetting their map and looking up to the window in hopes of a glimpes. Just an idea. I mean who could look at a map when that was nereby!?
