Trumpeter 1/16 King Tiger Porsche turret version

[BlackMax12]

Here it is pretty much finished.

 

Looks good for an early model King tiger with only a few scuffs and dings. Maybe could use some more muck on the tracks, especially the left front.

That decal film doesn't show in real life but of course the camera sees it. I ruined 3 sets of numbers trying to apply them to the zimmerit and since

this is the last set of 1/16 numbers they will have to do. And half a bottle of decal set too, at the point where it was starting to dissolve the paint.

 

I didn't bother painting the turret ring and gear as the turret is a very tight fit. Maybe someday I'll do something about that, maybe.  The upper hull is

removable to show off but I didn't want to do that outside, too windy as usual here in Alberta.

A work of art - very well done - I'm officially impressed  

 

I can just imagine it crushing my little 1/76 Sherman

Thanks BigX

 

Thanks Chris

 

Stash is empty but there is a 1/16 Trumpeter T-72B and a 1/16 M-ATV MRAP at the LHS.  Hmmmmmm......

Here are my 1/16 Tigers, a small task force. I need a bigger bench.

The Porsche version needs more track work for sure, have to pull them off once again.

 

The Henschel is a bigger turret but has less frontal area and I prefer the look. That Jagdtiger is one mean looking beast, low slung and menacing, a

real killer.

Absolutely brilliant Lloyd! Fantastic large scale modelling. 

Kind regards,

Lloyd,

Yet another classic WW2 tank given the special touch!

 

Fabulous mate.

[BlackMax12]

Thanks Stix

 

Thanks Widow

 

I managed to tone down that decal film with about 3 coats of dullcote and some more dirt.  I pulled the tracks off to re-paint

and do a better job on the weathering so more pics coming.

 

Take care,

What a collection. Fantastic, superb, and brilliant.

I'm jealous Lloyd.

 

Rearguards,

Badder

[BlackMax12]

Thanks Badder

 

Wonder how big a 1/16 diorama would have to be to get all 3 of these and 2 Panzer IVs into it? 

Pretty damned big and then there's a T-34 and a SU-100 to fit in there somewhere too.  My

back yard probably isn't big enough.

 

Take care,

 

Lloyd

Finally got around to some outside pics on another overcast day.

Outstanding work!  Not jealous at all

[BlackMax12]

Thanks Gav

Some final forgotten things like some dry brushing on the track teeth and the track faces and more muck. Then a couple of final interior shots before the lid goes on. No weathering

inside the turret as it's mostly hidden.

 

The fat lady has sung on this one.
