Morning guys! Was up before the sun yesterday and got the Panzer gray base coat on.Now your probably saying it does'nt look any different and your right.I could have just gotten with the primer as very little of the gray will be seen once the white is sprayed on.Needless to say i don't have any white paint,so an order is do.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking!  |

Don't take yourself too seriously. It's just plastic.

Nice stuff. An early Tiger at that. The panzer grey looks fine.

Evening fellas! Got the white camo on this morning.I did 3 light coats of Vallejo white and had to stop as the humidity was a killer.  There's a slight bit of gray that shows through and hard to see in the pics but i like how it looks.Also got the tracks primed and painted.I tried something different with the tracks this time.To keep the primer and paint from flaking of the rubber tracks i sprayed them with a flat coat first and then primer and paint.No flaking when i installed them.Hope you like so far.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! As always ACW. |

Nice work Leon, It kinda reminds, concept wise of a Military Modeling,(USA version) from the mid 1970's of a Tiger eastern front. The article was about a heavily modified mid production variant. Obviously built at a time before any aftermarket anything was available.... If you remember such things I believe the article was entitled "Winter Kills". It was very cool as no doubt this will be too.

Lookin good Leon! If memory serves, and it rarely does these days , correctly tensioned Tiger tracks should touch down on the second road wheel. |

Dierk,thank you! These pics were taken before i glued down the tracks.They are now glued down for the correct tension. |

Evening fellas! Following in the steps of PJ,I've been fighting a chest cold a sinus infection the past few weeks and have'nt felt like doing any modeling.Sunday i fired the AB up and gave the Tiger another coat of white as i really did'nt like the gray that was showing through.I also touched up the gray and started painting the tools.I'm having second thoughts about the brown tracks.Just may give them a wash of gray.A little more detail painting and this kitty will be ready for her numbers.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  006 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking! |

Morning fellas! Finally got the tiger back on the bench and got the markings,did some chipping and put some rust on the exhaust.I tried doing some rust streaks on the sides of the lower hull and they looked awful.In removing them i started wearing through the white paint and ended up with the chips.Still woud like to add a wash but i don't want to obliterate the white.  001 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  002 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  003 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  004 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  005 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  006 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr  007 by Leon Dorak, on Flickr Thanks for looking!
