                        What, no zimmerit? You got off easy. LOL Looks pretty nice, except that the left side of the tank kind of shows up as a shadow on my screen, can't admire the detail as much.

                        Looks like a nice clean build Ken. My personnal tastes lean towards a little more weathering, but they are just that, my tastes. I would suggest a little drybrushing of steel on the tracks just to enhance them a little bit.

                        And what a lovely ensemble of candles you have brought together in this dio. Wink [;)]Wink [;)]

                        Thanks for sharing Ken.

                        Nice clean build, Miller. Perhaps it became the center of conversation over dinner, huh?

                        Good job.

                        Nice job, miller. Clean build!

                        I like the damage to the fenders. I would add a tad more weathering to the tracks for a more worn appearence but, you may not have wanted to go for that look.

                        I think the Christmas tree could use a little more ornaments and maybe a gift or two underneath it. I think Verlinden has a resin set available. Tongue [:P]

                        I don't know. I think the tree is out of scale. It's either a 1/48 (or even smaller) or this tiger is bigger than a Maus! Of course, Miller could have been going for some forced perspective, I guess!! lol

                        Miller, the Tiger looks real good! I like the damage to the fenders!

                        I'll leave the Christmas tree out of my comments, other than it could use a gift or two, some lights, a little weathering or maybe a whitewash for some snow, a bit of ground work...and I won't mention the candles either, other than they look real nice, a bit out of place in the dio... Tongue [:P]Big Smile [:D]Wink [;)]

                        Good job on the tiger!

                        Good looking Tiger, Miller! Nice damage. Nice decorations!
                        My only suggestion would be to at least use a matt clear finish on it, if not weather it a little bit more. Maybe you did flat coat it, but it still looks quite shiny on my monitor. To be honest, I thought it was the shiny, unpainted plastic when I first opened the post!
                        Still, a fine Tiger!
                        Let's see more!

                        J-Hulk, you have good eyesBig Smile [:D] I have not sprayed Clearcoat on it as yet, but will tonight, I also have to find a goos way of getting those kit tracks to sag propoerly. I was doing track links for this build but it just got so frustrating I put them awayBlack Eye [B)] Model Kasten Plastic links. It is lightly weathered with pastels and a dark wash, but I wanted to represent a fairly new vehicle in North Africa so I didnt get crazy with the dirt, but maybe I should put some dirt on itEvil [}:)]
