Great work Aron!

As the others have said, but it could use just a minor amount of chipping on the Panzer Grey. 

Show us a little primer!!!!!!!!!!!

Yaouzzzzaaaa.....

Just started this kit and wanted to get some good shots of someone who finished one in the same winter weathering as you did.....

Great stuff....thanks for the reference and inspiration...hope mine will turn out half as good.

One thing I am finding early on in this kit is the instruction are a bit difficult to understand at times.  Especially using the PE at the back of the tank....

Good job...

Aaron - seen a lot of your stuff in the magazine...I think this builds trumps them all. Great stuff!

Are we going to get a look into what methods you used for the whitewash and mud buildup?

Wow... I love this weathering. I can just imagine all the equipment drug, lugged, and slid across the top of the turret. Seems that proper attention to areas where thousands of hands have slid across the surface was addressed.

 

Beautiful, beautiful build. This really deserves a diorama.

 

Tanks for the images Aaron.

Stunning, the white was looks perfect. The weathering is spot on, love the grittiness it exudes.

Really want to build one of these beasts. I want to do a Leningrad/late 1942 one in PG, the early version.

Like Manny said wondering the technique used for the whitewash.

More later in the year eh?

Guess we will have to wait for the issue!

...wow...this reminds me a lot of Rick Lawler's work----and he is world-class. Looks like real steel.  Outstanding finish and weathering...what was your technique on the whitewash and mud?

Work before play, good job on both.

Tanks for posting the Tiger I, take its the new DML 'Smart Kit' marked as a Leningrad Front unit? 

Regardless it turned out great.Toast

Hard to believe you'd never built a Tiger before this one. On the other hand, I've never built on either....Any how, really nice work as usual! Nicely weathered too!

Nice Tiger. The white wash is excellent.Yes Think this is the first time i have seen one of your kits. I take it this is OOB.

How wa sthe build. I have the same kit but with the pre white wash markings, so anything to look out for.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Guys,

Here's a couple of photos of the Tiger I finished recently. This is the only one these German behemoths I've ever built. Comments and critiques welcome.

Cheers, Aaron
