Jusjay Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 So here is my (pretty much) finished Takom King Tiger! Bought for me for Christmas and I've enjoyed every minute of the build. It was built out of order sort of and the idea was taken from a video I watched on YouTube so I cannot take the credit for the idea on how to display this. Paints used were Ammo by Mig King Tiger set and Tamiya. Primer was ultimate black Primer. All I need to do now is get a wooden base for the thing and maybe add some steel to the track cleats. I've done minimal weathering on this and finished it as a clean build. Thoughts welcome! 25

Thanks very much for the comment I was a bit concerned about the camo initially. It's not mounted on a block of wood, I'll try get a photo of that soon. 1

It does add something to it I must admit. I'm trying with the idea of painting the base white instead of plain wood but can't decide lol 1

You did such a nice job of the build and paint its speaks for itself without the need for anything jazzy with the base mate . 1
Jusjay Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 Sounds like a good plan mate, thank you. I'll give it a clean and Polish when I get a chance

modelman182 Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Lovely clean build and a smart presentation. Would love to see the finished 'mounted' display on it's base, I'm sure it looks top notch! Spotted this kit in my LHS last weekend, and was tempted to buy it, but didn't. Seeing your great rendition, you've changed my temptation into desire - I think I'll have to have it! (Here's hoping that no-one else has grabbed it first!) Cheers Kev 1

I'll try and get some pictures of it on the base soon, i must admit i intended to but completely forgot!
