Tamiya 1/35 Elefant

[moparmadness]

Hello friends. So here is a vehicle that is as deadly as it is ugly. An absolute brute! Probably my favorite WWII land vehicle. But, I will say this kit had an impeccable fit and really was a fun build. The Zimmerit really took the most time. The rest of the kit went together with ease. Thank you for following along during the build.

Another nice job,weathering and zimm look great.the tracks are weathered nicely,leaves are a nice touch,this is what I meant for you to do on your Tiger,the only other thing I would do is to tone down or dirty up the white numbers a little,I usually rub a little pigment on them.But again,just my own thoughts.

That’s a good point about the numbers. Same with the symbol on the back side. I appreciate the kind words!

STUNNING build! Really very nice touch adding dried leaved too.

Thank you buddy! Really learned a lot from this one. I’ve got a zimmerit kit under my belt now. 😄

Excellent work! And all the autumn leaves on the build are a superb finishing touch.

I simply cannot say enough good things about this build Chad. Beautiful work on every single level. You've gotta be happy (and proud) after completing this one as well as you did ol, buddy. I'm just glad it didn't fall like the other one did. lol

Fantastic finish up.
