Just came across this WIP, I've been missing out.  Great work thus far.  It all looks good, scratch work, Pe, Zim, and love that paint job.  Really like the periscopes, that's slick !

Thanks friend!

 Here are more updates!

 Filters: Humbrol for each color in base and camo. I added the antennae and hatches.

Damage zimmerit: for start the work in these parts, I will use Humbrol #128 (Satin grey US) mixed with white pigment using spirit solvent in order to give the irregular dust texture. Step 1.- Mixing H128 with pigments. Step 2.- To apply covering the zone to treat Step 3.- Adding more pigment Step 4.- Before to dry, to apply the pigment carefully. And... ready!!!

Filters have really brought the camo scheme to life Rodolfo, keep the updates coming!

Great work Rodolfo. Wish I could have followed this thread better, but I like it.

Hey buddy,

I love this build! beautiful work and by God what a stunning paint scheme - the turret roof inspires awa!

My personal preference is for early war Pz I's and II's but I'm currently building my second Tiger I and I'm growing very find of them. My first was Dragon's 6600 Initial Tiger and my current wip is for Tigermans 'Steel Cats' GB. For that I'm building Dragons 6383 Pz IV Ausf E c/w moulded on Zim with Friuls and RB Barrel / RB Antennae and AM shackles.

I'll be following this closely and using some of your tips too.

Lovely work!

Ben
