Porsche Jagdtiger. Ahhh, what the hell , another pic .

[wing_nut]

looks great so far Carl. The lap joints in the front glacis look great. Nice job reworking those.

[deafpanzer]

Carl, why are you breaking a nice decent model kit apart? LOL It looks great... damage looks pretty realistic.

[Deleted]

very nice detail you have added the battle damage looks ace

[armorguy]

Great job on the hull front Carl, you made it special !

[Deleted]

Hey guys ! Much appreciate the comments . ;D

Still not 100% satisfied with the overall look of the damage .

I'll move on to another part of the build for now .

[bbd468]

Bml ......thats a good idea . Might be to late on this model though .Thanks

E.R. thanks I agree some weathering and rust will add realism . I'll leave it as is . ;D

The damage to the travel lock is a nice touch Gary, definitely adds to the 'in action' feel of this beast!

Thats ok my friend ......... ;D

[modelfreak72]

The battle damage looks outstanding!

[noll]

Looks awesome so far! I may have missed it, but how did you make the shell damage? ( what the method from page 2 is isn't mentioned I don't think).

Glad you guys like the damage . I picked up the method from DanB . I used a cheap little soldering iron and after practicing on an old model ifinally i carefully put the tip of the soldering iron into the model . I enhanced the raised material on the edges of the damage with gel c.a. and excellerator .

[Deleted]

I used some glazing putty and put some surface texture on the glacis and casement sides .

Here's the putty smeared on . Model looks blue because i didnt reset the white balance .



After sanding and paint this is the look of it .Starboard side.



Port side.



The re finished glacis .



;D

[danb.]

Nice job on the texturing Carl it looks very realistic keep it up buddy

Dan B

[wouter]

oh man, love the destroyed front and the texture you added makes it even more cool!

And those Friuls, they were my first ever which I assembled...quite some bits ey...I assembled them at the time, only to found out they weren't correct for my KT ;D

Looking forward to next update!

Cheers

[tobias5555]

Great work.

[bullardino]

I love that texture, great job Carl

[fightnjoe]

someone was pretty dang lucky. that hit on the front could have been much worse.

carl it looks fantastic from here.



joe

[deafpanzer]

Agree with guys... great job with the surface texture! I will have to holler for your help when I build it one day.

[wing_nut]

I'll leave it at that.

[Deleted]

Dan , thanks ! I was looking at the texture on your latest build . I'll have to look into the Tamiya putty method !

Wouts , good to hear from you about the texture and damage .My first Friuls on this one . I started assembling them ........ ....lots of parts on this track design . Thats to bad about them being the wrong ones for your model. Friul dont give a lot of explanation as to what tracks go with what version of tank imo . And the instructions ? What instructions ?........

Tobias , thanks .

Luigi , glad you like it . no seats in this one my friend . LOL ;D

Hey Joe , thanks for stoppin in ! I figured these 70 ton beast didnt move to fast so the Rusky 76mm had time to throw a good number of armor piercing rounds at this Jagd . The Jagd had 5.9 inches of armor steel on the glacis and i figure these got in there about half way . Sure as heck would of been a bell ringer for anyone inside though .

[bullardino]

No seats. And it's german. But I like it all the same

[Deleted]

Hey Andy , Hey Marc !! Hey de hay hoo haw howdy ....sorry ... ....he hee .

Thanks my friends . ;D

Andy , when you gettin that Tiger 1 done man ?

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

OH MY
It does look real Carl.
Much more pleasure in seeing you're new found life style than than reading about you guys in the paper or seeing you on the 11 o'clock news.

I admire your courage to turn your life around Carl and Gary.
