Lil K' tiger

Posted by Buddho on Sunday, January 18, 2004 12:48 PM

This is an Italeri ( rehashed Hasegawa ) 1/72 scale King Tiger that I've been working on in between bouts with my family build Sherman. I'm modifying Hasegawa soldiers to ( hopefully look like ) paratroops....I retook the picture and hopefully it will be a brighter image... Tongue [:P]

Thanks Dan, tha is much better. (Sometimes I think my screen is too dark) Cool looking with the paratroopers on top. That is amazing that you can paint such small figs.

thats excellent, you ought to try another tiger 2 with ambush cammo and if it turns out good, take the troops and put them on that tiger 2 and put it in a diorama... just a suggestion, I wouldnt try an ambush cammo on that one cause you could mess it up.

Ron's right, I do wish I could paint firgures this good, 1/72 or 1/35. But just for the record, it was Chris that said that not me.

Thanks for sharing !

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Great finisher to a project that is already very well done. Those KT's are really gorgeous aren't they. Might need to try them 1/72 armor in the future,too.
