Takom King Tiger - open hull


Jusjay

Recommended Posts

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!

A nice clean build Sir and great display piece ! The camo looks great .

:thumbsup:

 

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.

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

:hmmm:, I think I would just mount it on plain polished (perhaps) ? wood Jay, keeping it simple but smart looking .

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 .

Sounds like a good plan mate, thank you. I'll give it a clean and Polish when I get a chance :)

I think that's all it'll need to really set off your nice work mate .

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
