Tiger 1

It’s not accurate to the real F13. I just wanted to build something different.

Very nice.

Lovely job MZ3. The colour blending is very well done. Every component ties in beautifully with the next and yet still stands out. You have done a very nice job on the tracks.

I’m not a huge fan of heavily weather vehicles unless of course they are in a diorama. I think you have really nailed the weathering for a stand alone model in my opinion.

Very well done… Clapping Hands

Nice job. Realistically dirty.

HIGH Praise

Disregarding the inaccuracies, this is excellent and very realistic.

[dto:] and [snWcm] to the forums!

I’m going to assume it’s the Gruppe Fehrmann Cyberhobby kit? Looks awesome regardless of the inaccuracies! To those that don’t know about F13, it was a Tiger with early style turret, but late running gear and no zimmerit.

Welcome to our forum,I caught this over on Mig’s Site.Looks real good,great weathering+tracks are well done.Thanks for posting here.

Thank you everyone!!!

This is the Gruppe Fehrmann Cyberhobby kit. When I started it I was going to try to make it accurately, but after seeing how much discussion and debate there is on it, I decided to just have fun and do some things I’ve wanted to do on a Tiger before but never did. Zimmerit on an early style(Tamiya putty on the turret, apoxie clay on the hull), Friul tracks, aluminum barrel(can’t remember which brand)and painting it green. I really wanted something different from what I’ve seen and built in the past.

Thank you. I don’t post much on Mig. I’m trying to find a good “home” for posting my stuff.

I accidently clicked on the 5 stars to see what they were, sorry[:$]

Jump on board…

I’m glad we’re up for consideration, you’d be an asset to us.

See what I mean… an honest dude too!

Thats novel. I have never seen that way of getting a five star rating before… High Five

Hey, in my opinion your build deserves them so you can have five stars from me… Cool

I also really like the dirty look without being too weathered. Most armored vehicles which are in active service tend to not be so weathered.

Very nice looking big cat!

the_doog · February 19, 2010, 1:22am

An excellent job of finishing and weathering, IMO. Really down-n-dirty, nasty looking Tiger. Just like a GI’s nightmare!

hughes2682 · February 19, 2010, 11:22am

That is indeed a very well finished Tiger. Nicely executed weathering. If you are building it for yourself then how you feel about it is all that really matters.

Cheers

You could not have come to a friendlier forum,lot of good guys,and lots of feedback and suggestions.

jagdtiger1944 · February 19, 2010, 12:58pm

Very nice Tiger and great finish. Good job on the zimmerit also.

Bodge · February 19, 2010, 1:46pm

Very nice job, i like it loads. Im one of those people that can like something right or wronge , if it looks good then thats good enough for me.[Y]

MZ3 · February 20, 2010, 1:04pm

Thanks again to everyone that responded.

Thats pretty much the way I am. Build what you want how you want. If others don’t like it, oh well.
