“Lost Again”

This is the 1/35 scale Tamiya Tiger 1 Ausfuhrung Africa, built straight out the box with a few extra details added, headlamp wire and S mine launchers wire.

The figures are Alpine and master box I must say the Alpine figures are a pleasure to paint, the tiger was painted with Tamyia paints whilst Vallejo and oil paints were used on the figures.

Looks superb Mike, I'm envious of anyone who can paint figures realistically. The tank's not bad, either ;) I like the detail and texture on the signboard; is this vignette based on an actual photo?

Hi no its not based on any image, I just came up with the idea after building the tank, thanks for your comments

Exceptional quality build. Figures are beautifully done and the weathering on the tank is sublime.

Excellent build Mike, the Tiger is spot-on with subtle & effective paintwork and weathering.

The figures are exceptionally well done & give a real sense of what the vignette

is saying.

Cheers Patrick
