Sd.Kfz182 king tiger

[craigcole20b.]

Well I got some bench time today its been over a week or so so most of my building and prep during the week after work but this last week has been straight to the couch
Finished the tam Zim was not sure how it would look with paint on it so I had some left over so light on the primer and had some model air light brown out for another project a few light passes and the detail came alive it looks like the key to this Zim is going to be light on the paint
Thanks for the comments everyone
The one on the left is primed and painted the one on the right is not

Nice test with the primer shot Craig, looks like very light passes are going to be the key for sure.

[craigcole20b.]

Got the rb barrel attached

Hi there Craig,

What a beast this is, especially the shot from below gives you a feeling this was a brutal- and lethal weapon. Great pictures on the zimm too. Count me in...

greetings, Richard.

That zim looks good primed. Looks like ya got a winner going.

Fantastic KT build brother Craig! Im impressed with the Zimm. Lookin forward to paint.

[reserve]

Nicely done, looks sweet. I tried the Tammy zimmerit on a Tiger 1 last year and the results were less than spectacular to say the least. You, however, have got it nailed

Regards,
Mark

Thanks for the comments guys sorry for the late reply I have been busy
A small update got the tracks for the turret done and added a chain form a hobby boss lav
All that is left is the commander not sure if I am going to use the kits one or break out the alpine one I have and do some damage to the Zim and cut up the side skirts

[Leon]

great work and lovely clean build Craig

[craigcole20b.]

Thanks for the comments everyone just have to put the tools and decide what I want to do with the side skirts and chip the Zim a bit in some spots then it's off to paint

[deafpanzer]

Glad you are doing figure too... it looks good!

[wbill76]

Looking forward to seeing this one with paint on Craig.

[tonylee-Rest In Peace]

Clean machine and the boss is perfect for it.

Thanks for the comments guys the boss really bring this build to life does any one have a color shot of the commander to see what color the trim on the hat shoulder bars and head phones and cables
I know the uniform is black but is his jacket leather

[craigcole20b.]

The side skirts are done have a little battle damage And bent them up also saw a picture in one of my books with a damaged skirt shoved between the exhaust

[craigcole20b.]

Well I have not been in the mood to paint and I really have not had any time to get down to it so.... I stared the jagdtiger
I'll paint both of them at the same time

[TRM]

Some nice building there Craig!! Put them in the holding pattern on the color and keep up the fine manufacturing!!!

[wbill76]

Sounds like a good plan, do what you've got the mojo for and the rest will come later!

[Leon]

No rush on the paint Craig,It'll come when your ready.

[craigcole20b.]

One side of the tracks are done for the jagdtiger top run is not glued together so I can get them off for painting
I think I'll have to do the wheels and tracks first before the rest of the paint

[Aiden.]
