Hey Eric , looks like even sitting  static in a museum the tracks are lifted off the front wheels ....just like your model . Good research bro !

Eric-Nothing wrong with that JP it looks great I think. After all, everything is new at one time or another, no?

Gamera-Ha! I like your title, thanks for the nice comment

Regards,

Eric=  If you would not have said anything about the numbers i wouldn't have noticed she still looks great love the camo, and the sag is about right if she is in motion, if static then maybe a  .00001 off.

I went by the boxart which shows the tracks off the front wheels. I think a reference book confirmed this. I agree it doesn't  look 100% on.

Gamera, I've never been big on weathering, but I was trying not to cover up the dot filters which I thought turned out well for the most part.

Ernest= mine is actually 1/35 but thanks for the compliment on the zim.  My wife doesn't give me a big allowance so I try to make what I can.  Wait til you see the screens I made for the rear made from actual screen door mesh.

Eric=  If you would not have said anything about the numbers i wouldn't have noticed she still looks great love the camo, and the sag is about right if she is in motion, if static then maybe a  .00001 off.

I will post some new pics tomorrow just got back from a two school trip with my kids, and started the working the weathering and rusting.  I use a mix of mig pigments and pastel artist chalk.  Had to remove the first set of decals as they were the wrong ones and put on backwards (lol)  I feel like Ernest the older I get the dumber I feel.

Keep up the great work guys.

Mark: Like it! I was thinking 'Hans, you always pick the worst times to go take a leak!'  Nice job on the Tiger, the figure, and the dio!

Eric: What's the problem? She looks good to me! I guess some people would tell you to go with more weathering but I like a nice, sharp, clean build, I cover lots of mine with mud to try to hide problems but she looks good enough she doesn't need it!

Dave: Nice work there with all those fiddly little bits!

Ernest: That night scope looks cool, looking forward to seeing it mounted.

Thanks T-Bolt and Carl. You're right, we are our own worst critics. None-the-less, I will try to get my Tiger done for the GB. We'll see.

Eric my friend , we are our own worst critics aren't we . She looks like a fine piece of model building to me .

Whats the next project ?

Eric, she looks pretty darn good to me, man! Salute! The track sag is excellent, I've never got them to look that way yet!

Calling this one done. As always, never fully satisfied, but I have to move on. The numbers are incorrect of course, and other mistakes are visible. The tracks are the kits and they were okay, but split where they connect. Not happy with the weathering on the spares, but like I said, I need to move on.

Good looking Panther you got going here Dave .

Thanks, Ernest and everyone else for the kind comments...

Well, I think the build phase is DONE! I've finished up my little punch list. Next update it'll be covered in paint. 

Side skirt retaining plates, tool clasps, gun travel lock chain and a bunch of other little stuff. Let me know if you see something that needs fixin'  (Tools were left off for painting separate from the main model. Some have the tool clamps glued onto them instead of the tool bracket.)

...and it only took 4 months!  Geez.

Hey Bish , thanks for helping out bro !

I did delete some library's at p.b. last week , now that you mention it.

Strange thing is that i'm not trying to post a pic in my post , so where this phantom "sorry" thingy from P.B. is coming from I have no idea .

Thanks again .

Carl, have you changed the title of the folder the photo's are in on PB.

Bish-Thanks man

Buff-Thanks also, and it's the Cyberhobby Tiger 1 Feb. 1944, #6650

See , there it is again ...................

Ernest , how you doing my friend !

You didn't miss much on the Jagd because i didn't post much of the build up on it here .I'm just getting backup to speed on this sight myself .

There was no picture posted below my text . Photo bucket has been doing that "sorry" thing on every one of my post here at FSM . I don't get why but it only happens on this sight

Your comments are much appreciated ! Thanks .

wow, I can't believe its already been two weeks since I last posted anything!    Sorry, I'm back to working 12 hours, six days a week and been too pooped to even get on the forums...  I've got another week like this and then I get a break for a few days, but I might be able to get a few things done tomorrow night.

Still I managed to get caught up this evening and read the last 3 pages of posts:

Shawker - the little King Tiger (P) is coming along great!  Love the zim work you did in braille scale!

malone - that is one sweet looking little Panther!  Superb work on all the detail, painting and weathering!  [Y]

Carl - I must have missed most of your work on that Jagdtiger, sorry dude!  All I can say is what a great looking JT you've completed!  One of the best I've seen!  Oh, whahappen to the last photo you posted?  Something about "Extended, extended....."?  C'mon, don't keep us in suspense!

Dave - progress on your Panther may be slow, but your great work is all in the details!  Loving it so far!  Keep it up!

Reserve - cool dio with the Tiger!  I like the action poses of the figures!  Which Tiger kit is this?

armor86 - didn't realize you had switched camo colors, but it still looks great! 

Extended , extended .no use stopping now .

Still time to get in on the group build? The Wife got me Dragon's Königstiger "Battle of the Bulge" kit for my birthday. Should be able to get it done in time for the end of the GB.

Yes sir, you can still get into the GB. The deadline has been extended. Would love to have that BoB kitty in the GB.

I like that Tiger Dan .

There are some amazing finished builds on the front page. Gamera, i am liking the dio a lot.

I am planning on digginbg out the figures for my Pantehr this weekend, so i am hopeing i can wrap up the Diorama for it before the end date. Fingures crossed.

armour, thats looking really nice, great work.

I haven't checked this GB for a while, so many GB's, so little time. But i am so glad i did now. Mark, that dio is amazing. Stunning work all round.

I am with you on the price of those CH kits, i can't see it either. I know some of them are unusal subjects, such as the Panther i built, but still. Sound like you got a great deal. I paid £70 each for my Panther and Wittmann Tiger.
