Posted by shaunfletcher on Sunday, March 22, 2015 9:41 PM

Thought I would drop a couple of this model in here.. this is Tiger 332 of Abt.503 in the days before Operation Citadel at Kursk.

This is her all ready for her diorama..

And prior to painting for those interested..

This will be resurfacing along with a Flak halftrack in the diorama forum very soon.

I like it. Just a bit worn but not overdone, same with the weathering. I'd say you have a good grasp of knowing when to stop.

How did you tie down the tracks? I have my technique with speaker wire strands but always looking for new ways of doing stuff.

They are friul metal tracks so they sag naturally. lot of work and pretty expensive though!

....  But well worth it, in my most humble opinion.

Well done.
