madcat911 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Here's my rendition of the venerable Dragon King Tiger. This build represents a Tiger II assigned to SS-PzAbt 501 during the Ardennes Offensive of 1944/45. It was painted with Gunze lacquers and weathered with enamels and pigments from AK Interactive as well as artists' oil paints. Decals came from Echelon Fine Details. The mud in the lower hull was done with AK Interactive's Diorama texture paste and was applied to the model with the help of some water. The wet look of the mud is simply Future floor polish. Hope you enjoy the photos! Critique and feedback are most welcome. Mark 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wm Blecky Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Great looking tank! I particularly like the camo scheme and your weathering is outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fewr9fkr9595 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Very nice! Good effort mate! I built 204 several years back... Couple points for anyone wanting to build it too- It had the smooth bell mantlet The turret rear escape hatch had the two small discs on it. The unit insignia was on the rear hull plate too. 👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Sure looks like a Tiger, I love that squat menacing look and one can never have too many Tiger II's. I've never seen that wet look with Future and it really looks great, must try it. Take care, Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is the armour equivalent of building an F-16C with an F-16A tail, big mouth intake and PW exhaust. Lol. This is only my fourth armoured vehicle. I will definitely put more research into my armour builds down the line. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about it mate, the enjoyment of the build and clean execution in the modelling and finishing always outweigh slight inaccuracies IMHO . Superb job .
