What can one say but what a superb piece of art. You have cracked it. Can you stop improving now as its getting intimidating.

Hi Mac,
That is stunning paint and weathering. you really hve excelled your self with this, I'm looking forward to seeing it on the tables.
I have plans to build one of these after my current project as I haven't built any Armour for such a long time now.
Any way I have a couple of questions if I may?
Are engine sets available for these dragon kits?
Are the AK modulation and filter sets worth the money or should I stick with what I know best? (Tamiya/mr hobby and oils).
Looking forward to seeing more of this one for sure.
Best Regards
Keith

Hi Keith
Engine sets by Tamiya can be converted I think Verlinden does a few bits too.
I used filters on the KT mainly the modulation sets are good I think the best are the Lifecolor Easy 3 for oils the Mig 502 set German Armour tones is a must thanks for the kind words on my skills

DSC08329 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Heres some better pictures of the whole vehicle. .  DSC08325 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .  DSC08321 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .  DSC08326 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .  DSC08327 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Well hope you like it almost done on this big update on the Jagdtiger Diorama tomorrow. Mac |

Hey Mac. Weathered , worn , torn and battle weary ...your big cat is looking like she rolled thru a big battle .
The tow cable and cleaning rod hanging off the side is an eye catcher .
Tanker sitting on the crate fits right in . He looks just as beat up as the tank he's sitting on .

Working at finding time to stop lurking and start participating and this is as a good place as any to start. Like Joe I just went through this from he very beginning. Al I can say I hope to God I never build a model that looks like that! Because… I would feel I have reached my peak and never build anything else since it would pale in comparison. Out-freakin’-standing.
