Das Werk 'King Tiger' Pzr Abt 505

[langy71]

Well, seeing the progress being done on various builds on here I figured I needed to 'pull my finger out'...

So here's my next build, The 1/35 king Tiger from 'Das Werk', ..(apparently this is the MENG kit without the interior).

She's currently sitting waiting for some oil paint weathering to dry, but it's coming along nicely.. need to work out a dio for it next..


Link and Length tracks.... (mixed feelings about these, maybe one day I'll throw a set of fruils onto a build just to see how different they are)



OOOOooo..... Henschel Turret and photoetch goodness !


Primer, pre shading and white highlights.








MiG Dunklegelb basecoat...


The 'paint shop'... AKA a re-purposed potting shed.


Cam and Decals added





First bit of weathering on the running gear



Modified 'Schurzen', These should be full length, however I went a bit crazy with a razor saw. (lol) .....Besides, Tigers always look better with battered or missing Schurzen !





First stages of weathering on the hull and turret..


looking 'dustier'..

Superb!. Great freehand work on the camo

Yup, top marks on the camo application. Sad that the pre-shade is gone.

Cheers,

Chris, nice, if that's how you get on with link and length I don't think you need to think about Fruils, I can't manage those link and lengths so where they have been made for the model then I use the Fruil.

Chris,
Beautifull build and finish.
Do not ever worry about how fast you build or how others build, you do what you can, when you can and how you can.

Chris,
Coming on nicely mate. I echo what Mike has said build at your own pace.

 

[rtfoe]

But not at my pace...takes too long.

Cheers,
Richard
