Isn't that one of those kitty cat thingamebobs?:giggle:

Lovely work Steve. Although there is a discussion going on in the chat section as to whether modelling can be art or not, I would have to say that that is definitely a work of art. Brilliant work all round. And now that it's finished, you can build a proper tank, such as a Sherman.:wicked:

Thanks echen... and yes you could just practice practice practice...... time and practice, you do great models from what i have seen so just build on what skills you already have.

Really nice job Steve......I'd lost track of the Tiger build blog, things have come a long way. Nice result using a pic for reference. It captures it very well.

 

 

Great job.....:yes:

Simon

Why thank you Darryl......research with the help of @Das Abteilung is going on as we speak on the 36......looking forward to it too ...its a nice kit although it does (like all kits) have a couple of areas that need some extra work.

This is absolutely stunning!

I love all the details. Especially those little touches like a jerrycan attached by the wire. I could look at the model for hours. And it matches the photo very well.

 

Cheers,

Nenad

Thanks for the very kind words Nenad .......Hope you are well mate ...not seen you lurking for a while :D

I do like very much....! The Tamiya kit still builds up a very nice model as you've proved - excellent attention to detail, nice stuff.

Thanks bud...yeah the Tamiya kits can still hold their own.....just a little extra detailing and they look fantastic....and thank you :thanks:

Top class! Love the wired jerry can, the dangling track-changing cable, the bent fender, the zimmerit, restrained chipping etc etc.

 

Being a total stickler for detail, I do notice you've put the spare track links front left of the glacis on the wrong way round when compared to the photo.

I'll get me coat.😆

 

Rearguards,

That is an excellent piece of work Steve,

I love the way you have studied the extra little details and recreated them on the model. The finish and paint work is spot on and seems very authentic. :clap:

I think you must be the Tiger King.
