That's a beauty, Rob. Sorry for not posting before, but time is becoming a quite rare item, at least for me. I saw it on FB, but here it looks even better

Thanks all for the tips and comments. Sorry I took so long to get back here but I knew I'd be busy the past couple days and this weekend. Just a quick update from two days ago..lol Tracks got the AK burnishing treatment, a good cleaning after that and then set to dry for a day. After it was all dry and blackened I then applied a wash using AK track wash and mixed with AK track rust pigments. This was then set aside to dry. Next will be some dust washes and earth effects to finish them off. While searching and cleaning up the shelves a bit, I found a couple of queens that were started and then placed in a box. This is the Dragon Nashorn. I have some PE ammo bins for it but might just go with the kit parts since they look ok, and much better than the parts in the older version of this model.Was thinking a faded WW and very dirty...or an Italian front model !! Wheels were already done which will save me time.

Wait, a Nashorn isn't a Tiger! I'm with Andy - how many half-builts have you got kicking around, boss?

LOL, I've got nearly 2 dozen of them..lol Remember Dupes the first sign of a problem is 'denial'...."how many drinks did you have; only 2 (more like 4)". "how many cookies did you take; only 2 Mom (4)" How many shelf queens...........

LOLOLOL like I said T, I might have more kits around that were started one way or another. I get ideas in my head and drop things, but then find a pic and get other ideas. 2013 will be the year of queens. This way they are out of the way and hit ebay at the end of the year. We'll see.

Nice progress on the Tiger's shoes Rob! As for the Nashorn, well an Italian front scheme would fit the bill nicely considering. Either way it's good to do some shelf clearing to avoid clutter!

Looks great indeed.
I find pigs not too easy to work with (easy to mess things up) but you defo have mastered them, can't wait to see the groundwork!
