Thanks guys, you are coming though as usual...
Capt. Caveman,
His first Tiger had the 'tall turret' for he really gives it the business in the book. He blasts it as a very large target able to be seen from a distance. The figure I'm creating will be in his usual pose, head just above the rim ready to drop. You'll see he's a big proponent of the commander using his peripheral vision and not 'buttoning up'
Edog,
The hull seam is due to the need for the upper structure to come off for batteries and access to gears(I will attempt an inner brace to pull the lower together a little tighter, I need to set the antenna first). The track link holders aren't finished, I'm putting three links on the left and two on the right. I will add the lower pins then and the pegs on the empty hangers (I balked at the idea of the serial numbers on the hanger tops). I opened up the turret side vision ports but decided against the periscope holes. Thanks for the pics, I have Jentz' 'Tiger Tanks I', and his 'Combat Tactics' and 'Panzertruppen' are on the way. That is some seriously detailed info.
The twisted exhaust covers and rear details will be added after I 'rust up' the pipes.
I was thinking of using acrylic medium (sort of a paste) with ground up colors for caked mud around the wheels and fender areas, any experience with this?
Again thanks,
I'm glad finally to be able to post something besides goofy jokes about PE.
