Ozzy Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) This is my winter project, just the trumpeter kit to get; This is my inspiration [/url]=http://s1050.photobucket.com/user/bigyellowbus/media/1d5faaacdb7929b4d830d6c899072226_zps2dc0502d.jpg.html][/url] I have had the tiger for a number of years, sat waiting not knowing how to display it. Until I saw Dragons bivouac set, having seen this picture I set about gathering the other kits I needed. The progress so far More to follow.

PlaStix Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I too will follow with interest. I've only built one 1/72 Tiger but I have to admit I rather like them. Looks like this should be an interesting project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this should be an interesting project. PlaStix please do, I'm going to do the command variant as the antennas add somthing different. No typhoons in mine, this train is going east.

Ozzy Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Did a little on the suspension last night, I cut the sponsons after seeing a 1:48 hull on when the tigers broke free thread. It looked better for access for the road wheels and track. Edited October 4, 2014 by Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done that much of the tank its self as I would like to put some zimmerit on first, I've ordered some taymia self adisive, to give that ago if that fails then I will do it by hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 With my zimmermit not having turned up this week, I'm turning my attention to the bivouac set. I had already built the ponchos, but they look a little thick so will sand them down also the figures I will paint a panzer crew using Tamiya's NATO black as its not as monotone as black can be.

Ozzy Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) My zimmermit finally arrived, what a product, it's fantastic, it required a little trimming to fit and its transparent to allow you to still use all the kit holes. One for the Sgt. A slightly less new looking turntable. I also found the trumpeter kit in my local model shop for a fantastic price of £33 that's half price. With the zimmermit applyed I can crack on with the tiger build. Edited October 18, 2014 by Ozzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Bravo sir.....Well and truly boken in! Nice zimmerit too, I've got the Trumpetter zimmeritting tools, but they are a bit coarse for my preferred scale really. That applique looks a geat option for 1/35, but again I wonder how well it would work in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The product itself is easy to use and no masking evolved, they also do it in 1:48 I belive, this may be a little better suited? At least if it doent give you the effect your after you can always peel it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Spent the weekend building and bending brass. The only anomaly I found was with the exhaust covers being both the same unlike the kits plastic ones. Once I have painted the track I will put it all together.the MG cover was from the initial tiger set dragon do.

Ozzy Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Not a lot of modelling this weekend due to a visit to London. All I have achieved was to secure the tow chains ready for fitting. Hopefully get some paint on it next week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
