Sorry for the absence...the dark nights are drawing in here in England, which means I'll be back on my workbench quite soon. The people who know me will be aware that the last few years have been tricky, balancing work, my modelling and family has been a challenge. As our youngest was born and has been such a demanding little person (in personality and in health) something has had to give, and it's been my hobby!<br />
Thankfully my daughter's (and my wife's) health has improved and so I'll be finding time to get back on track - literally!<br />
<br />
Thanks to the well-wishers and those who have kept interested...in the meantime, please have a look at my art blog (just skip past the strange half naked women, we all have to pay the bills somehow!)<br />
<br />
I've started painting tanks to remind myself of how tanks actually look! :D<br />

Not really model related but I have uploaded a couple of sketches to my new art blog (yes we all have to make a living, unfortunately!) so if you haven't seen them before, check them out...any commissioned received with qualify for a 'friends discount'! Haha!<br />
Anyway, happy modelling to ya all and hope to get back to that styrene real soon!<br />
Cheers all and thanks for calling in!<br />

Also gave me the opportunity to try and fathom out the workings of my new camera! First impressions of the kit show a raft of tooling changes especially relating to the turret roof, turret shell, and hull roof. The new incorporated detail upon these areas are possibly the finest I've ever seen in 1/35th scale. The depiction of the sheet shroud over the turrets gear and ball-race ring, will give the interior detailer a good footing for depicting the lower reaches of the turret, that has not been covered by any previous major manufacturer or AM manufacturer. <br />
All I have to do now is decide which Mid-Command Tiger to build...008 anybody?!<br />

Apologies for the delay in posting here...and a few other places. Unfortunately, we all have to earn real money on occasions! Paid projects are almost at an end, so normal modelling services should resume shortly, and once I'm back in the modelling swing, I'll try and remember to take a few pictures and get posting too!<br />
Thanks for continuing interest and be back soon...hopefully!<br />
Cheers,<br />

My apologies for the vanishing trick! ...What a year!<br />
Well as you can see from the above images, the Tiger '211' "Doppelganger" is at a static point. Hopefully with the Holidays nearly upon us, I will have a bit of spare time a impetus to get it up to speed again.<br />
The 'Sub Modulation' base coats have been applied... This is a tongue in cheek phrase, when asked to explain why I did this, prior to a top coat. I have been playing around with this for a while now, and by logically (I can be logical sometimes!) laying down a primer/base coat that matches the actual surface or substance to be painted (ie the vehicles actual primer colour, Zimmerit even, and burnt metals etc) I find you get a rich tone with a little more vibrancy, than just a single primer colour. Working as an Artist, I always attack a painting this way, by using light undercoats a 'lighter' look can be achieved. as shadow can when using darker earth tones. Another positive result of this, is larger chipping or peeling can be achieved, with masking or surface resistance techniques (hairspray,salt,oils) can be incorporated without to much trouble.<br />
You can see the start of this upon this Prototype Krupp Turreted Tiger Ausf B! This is now ready to join the other members of it's 'ambush' at 'Barkmann's Corner'. After finishing it's Zimmerit phase over on the <a href="http://zimmerit-it.blogspot.com/">Zimmerit-it Blog</a>. This is going to be a 1./s.Pz.Abt.503 machine... You guessed it in Normandy. I still need to pin down it's tactical number, but hopefully this one should also be back on track soon!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Hello again folks! I have finally managed to wheedle out some time to post some images of the trip to the Ardennes, that I took at the end of August.<br />
My first impressions of the scenery and landscape were staggering, a beautiful and very challenging environment. Only the desperate would launch a mid-winter offensive through here... The narrow nature of the winding roads added to the always inclining or descending terrain, must have been a nightmare to the drivers of even the medium Panzers, PzIV' Panthers etc, let alone the massive King Tigers unleashed westwards!<br />
Unfortunately because of the race weekend, it was difficult to navigate south of the track, especially near Stavelot and La Gleize... So I did not get to see '213' of the 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.501... Perhaps next year I can get to the area early before the Grand Prix mayhem breaks loose?<br />
Here are some images of the area in and surrounding the race track Spa Francorchamps, you will notice that a lot of the corners names upon the track still recall a chilling and ferocious past.<br />

And welcome to everyone who is following these 'Tiger Tales'. Now that summer is finally abating, and normal service with the weather gets back to regional regularity, I hope to really get these poor neglected Big cats back up to speed.<br />
<br />
Here are a few images of the '211' Doppelganger', it has had a little more detail added to the turrets fighting compartment, namely a scratch bracket for the MP40 next to the turret walls escape hatch, along with a padded disc to arrest the discharged spent shell cases, also some more work on the gunner controls for the gun and turrets traverse. And the one remaining front fender/mudguard has been finished and re-attached.<br />

Hopefully with summer drawing to a soggy end, the call of the bench will become stronger! <br />
<br />
I am still waiting for the brass tread-plate, and the CMK sets. With our ever efficient customs and postal service, up to their old and new tricks... I went to the books and web, in order to find anything on the later interior layout of the 44' Tigers... And there is not much, 'Jentz and Doyle's DW to Tiger 1 has the best clues to the stowage racks, that populated the 'shelf' above the turret ring, as well as the turrets mechanisms for the turrets traverse and gun elevation. A real lot of items that were stowed upon the turrets interior wall have been removed by this point, (unless the Saumur Tiger, has been gutted , whilst sat in Northern France?) there appears to be very little conduit and mountings at all compared to say, the earlier produced Bovington and APG Tigers. To me it looks as though these 'bins' that populate the lower turret interior took most of the previously wall stored items! <br />

Now on the back 'shelf' in DW to Tiger 1, of the Saumur Tiger, there are a couple of images that show smaller compartments, for what looks like 'episcope' components etc, but I am not sure if two or three differing patterns are fitted between the main guns counterbalance cylinder and the escape hatch? As you can see the Verlinden kit is anything but comprehensive! So a lot of very visible smaller detail has been added, whilst trying to keep it 'through the hatch' yet detailed enough to show a 'light destruction,!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCJCm_JqZyOiDjzafWFgEwt6bq4TXOanDy9XJof1uj1reGJneV_iDjl6h25nfdbDggkfKi8_ln0OgG7QJM_DFGN9e3VqIwqbZTl7Z1dwV_j-gLTnaLidjumE1QOuJ1SJdQ1Uy5hIGu21f/s1600/Turret+Trials+%26+Tribulations+022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCJCm_JqZyOiDjzafWFgEwt6bq4TXOanDy9XJof1uj1reGJneV_iDjl6h25nfdbDggkfKi8_ln0OgG7QJM_DFGN9e3VqIwqbZTl7Z1dwV_j-gLTnaLidjumE1QOuJ1SJdQ1Uy5hIGu21f/s320/Turret+Trials+%26+Tribulations+022.JPG" /></a></div><br />

A fair part of the interior details can be seen through the open hatches, as with all the 'ports' open, the interior is well lit. In keeping with the fire that '211' was part gutted with, I have tried to show the spent shell case basket, as partly burnt. For this I rolled out some 'Green Stuff two part Epoxy' to a very thin depth, and impressed a piece of cloth into both surfaces, leaving the putty to cure for an hour, it was then 'torn' from the rolled out piece and formed onto a brass tube frame armature, to give a kind of 'toasted' remnants look to the remaining shreds of cloth!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Okay some more scratching of the interior stowage, to compliment the sparse Verlinden parts, then back onto a little more detailing of the main gun and it's ancillaries, then we should be reaching for some paint in earnest in the near future eh?<br />
<br />

Well I guess it is time for an update upon the 'Doppelganger' Tiger '211' of the 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.101 then?<br />
One thing that puzzles me about this Tiger is the damage, and fire evidence... on the left flank it is quite 'beaten up' with very little evidence of a catastrophic blaze... Yet the fire upon the right upper hull portion has been intense enough to remove the Zimmerit on the turret, and create enough heat to 'detach' the two spare track clamp assemblies both on the turret roof lip, and the outer turret wall. I personally am starting to think that it could have been simply abandoned, with the 'spite shots' coming later. Or that it was 'flanked' and taken down with a 'rump' shot. Still even 'standing in the water' the pattern and location of the fire damage is strange. Though I suppose nothing is impossible eh? But it must have not had much fuel in it's tanks, what do you think? <br />

Well after much thought and personal debate, I have decided to continue with the 'through the hatch' interior within the 'Doppelganger'. I have had creeping doubts, about the accuracy of the parts and the locations within the very lacklustre instructions, since David Byrden highlighted a raft of discrepancies when the box was unpacked initially. So with many of the viewable turret equipment and stowage missing, I have therefore decided to utilise some of the 'usable items' from the Academy kit's. The Firewall, and 88mm ammunition stowage bins being few, the rest will have to be scratched... All this makes me realise the time, effort, skill, and patience, not to mention the vast amount of knowledge and reference needed to completely populate a AFV interior...<br />
<br />
Carrying on with the build, a base has been planned for a while. With so long spent working on and studying the Tigers of the s.SS.Pz.Abt.101 in Normandy. I thought that a suitable base for this Tiger would be a part of a Tiger... After all they all ended up in pieces before being smelted. Using the units emblem heraldry of the 'cross skeleton keys' (a reference to 'Sepp' Dietrich's name and his award of the swords to his 'Ritterkreuz') em-placed within a shield with the 'clipped' right hand corner, denoting an Armoured Division, and the 'oakleaves' commemorating 'Dietrich's' addition to his Knights Cross.<br />
So why not place the Tiger on a an armoured shield, with a plinth depicting the s.SS.Pz.Abt.101's rather 'romantic' moniker?<br />

</div>I have managed to get back to the bench, and resurrect this ailing Tiger. A lot more work on the empty and destroyed stowage clamps and brackets, along with my attempt to replicate the remnants of the right hand exhaust muffler. I have also made a start upon the drivers hatch interior, I think this needs a lot more attention, as I feel that much more detail needs to be added, especially the empty periscope securing bracket.<br />

Part 1Well Hello! My Tiger torturing comrades!<br />
<br />
Normal service looks as though it is on the horizon! Along with the North west of England's 'standard' weather pattern! So activity is blossoming up the workbench, in all earnest... Or maybe that should be 'Ernst'? Panther on the way perhaps?<br />
<br />
With a little spare time coming my way, I have managed to get some more 'Tiger trashing time' in! My main focus has been upon the remaining side skirts upon this 'Tamed Tiger'. ...This is not as easy as I first presumed, some real care has to be taken in order not to deform the part of the fender that is attached to the sponson.<br />
Also I intentionally soldered the support fillets to the main skirt panel a little heavier than normal, (honest!!!) as when I tested a one the end fillet separated under the stress of the folding with the pliers.<br />
<br />

With a maelstrom of Chaos behind me it's back to the bench then. One thing I have got onto is the depiction of the varying production variants of the Armoured Exhaust Cover. I have mithered David Byrden over this in the past, and a lot of the features and differences come from 'mould' drop out during casting, and the moulds being 'patched' rather than reset. Often the apex of the cover suffers the most due to mould flaws, with the central ridge being flattened and smoothed. Another version has what looks like bridging plates inserted to strengthen the deteriorating mould, causing a 'roofed' effect, and yet another example has access channel machined into the side walls for the attachment nuts/bolts to be fitted or removed.<br />

I knew that I would not get away with it... The Tiger tick list of shame, that is... So here are another two. These are a lot further on than the other 'pasted' hull and turret 'dry fits', and are also the subject of a comparison web build log.<br />
First up the original '211' of the 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.101. This Tiger was photographed on the 101st's approach to Morgny on the 7th June 1944, climbing up the winding hill on highway 316 leading to the town . I believe that this Tiger had the broader, heavier coating of Zimmerit on the Turret, and a one piece 40mm roof, meaning that in my view the '211' Doppelganger has no relation to the original '211' other than the re-painted tactical number. See what you think!<br />

Widely believed to be 213 of Hauptschafuhrer Hans Hoflinger, not see in the marching order of the 2./s.SS.Pz.Abt.101 on the 7th June 1944, during the road march to the Normandy alert area. But recently after following the discussions of researchers Yann Youallt, Mike Kenny, Hartmut von Holtd, to name but a few, I am more in the mind to depict it as '234' another Tiger not fully identified during the Normandy conflict. This Tiger is of great interest to me as it has a few components that mark it as being a February '44' build,meaning no armoured turret protection ring and unsculpted hull front side end plates, yet it has a 40mm roof? Maybe a turret swap at some point, or perhaps what ever components were around the assembly area at the Henschel Kassel Plant.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
First up a 'Hybrid' Tiger '411' formally of the Schwere Kompanie Hummel, disabled 10 kilometers from Bastonge in Oberwampach. The gun sleeve has been shed from the Manlet when a winging shot that hit the muzzle brake before striking the sleeves collar.<br />

Perhaps added after the recent experiences of the Panzerwaffe fighting for their very existence with the Tiger, within the debris and rubble strewn confines of towns and cities.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

An interesting feature of this Tiger is it's vertical Zimmerit On the Turret, I have also been told that this Tiger currently resides in the Kubinka Tank Museum. And from the images I kindly received sometime ago, I have discovered that the Glacis plate also was pasted in the vertical fashion...

<br />
Back at the workbench, (albeit for a very limited time) I have finally bit the AP round, and took a dremel to this poor Tiger! Using a mixture of cone and ball ended dental burrs, the impacts were then treated to a few applications of Tamiya Extra-Thin Cement to soften the indentations and remove any residual swarf on the craters edge. On the impact on the mantlet, I heated the ball burr and pressed it further into the wound, in order to create a little lip where the deformed plate formed a kind of solid corona. If that makes sense?<br />
The impacts on the Glacis were 'drilled' completely through... The hit on the drivers armour vision port, was finished with the cone burr, slightly penetrating through the styrene, then closed up with some Tamiya Extra-Thin. The crack in the cast port pillar was simply scratched in with a scalpel and pin.<br />
Now for the penetration that has deformed the Kugelblende... This being drilled completely through, and then a piece of stryrene tube with a smaller brass tube within the core, trying to replicate what I believe to be the AP round that caused the bow mg ball mount and housing to deform so alarmingly. As stated in Panzerwrecks 8 Normandy, the bow mg/radio operator must have taken a serious blow when the Tiger was hit... If the Tiger was still crewed and operational at that point!<br />

Hello again friends!<br />
<br />
I have managed to get a smidgin' of time working on the slowly deteriorating '211' Doppelganger. I have added some more weld seams and 'tag' joints, by using some bright coloured stretched sprue, softened with Tamiya Extra Thin, and given a rippled and pitted relief to represent the texture of the welding. You will notice that I have also added some 'sprue' welding joints to the spare track clamps lower lugs. This is because the area is devoid of any Zimmerit due to the fire, and it will give the possibility of adding a very bright silver weld to mix of the melted paint, charred Zimmerit and heated, rusted armour plate.<br />
<br />

"BGA"? I hear you say, well do you know that unlabelled piece of plate that adjoins the Bow plate, and the Glacis plate, that also forms the roof for the transmission? ... That's the BGA, or for want of an 'official term' what I call it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One major headache for modellers wanting to depict a Tiger 1 during it's production period that was 'covered' by Zimmerit application... Is to paste this area or not! Take a look at this collage of images that appear to show Zimmerit in place, or give a clear indication of an application of the ridged pattern. I personally believe that on the majority of Mid and Late Tiger 1's, that Zimmerit was applied here, and one of the main reasons that it can be difficult to observe, is due to the levels of overhead saturated light that would create difficulties in a period image being clear enough to discern whether, or whether not Zimmerit was applied.

</div>Tricky eh? For this area I have experimented with a few various mediums and methods of applying the ridges. For this particular Tiger, I have dabbled with using good old 'Mr Surfacer' the modern wonder of the Armour Modelling world.<br />
I used the 1000' grade Mr Surfacer in a couple of coats that were 'flow' applied with a medium flat brush. This was then left to cure, for around ten-fifteen minutes, before the pattern of the smaller ridges with the indomitable Lion Roar Zimmerit Applicator tool. Surprisingly at no point did the Mr Surfacer stick to the rollers die. And in my opinion looks to be a fair representation of the Zimmerit on this much queried area of the Tiger.<br />

Especially to my good friend Rob, and to Didier, good to hear from you both. I will post an abridged version of this Tiger over on the MIG forum shortly.<br /> I have been having a bit of fun with the Zimmerit on '211', focusing mainly on the rear hull plate. If you look closely, you will notice that the actual Zimmerit in this area does not follow a uniform pattern. I believe this to be from stowage and confines not enabling the use of the standard (roller) applicator, and the 'spreader' at Kassel having to employ a different tool in order to imprint the ridges into the curing paste. Here is a little collage to illustrate the point.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> Now by using a technical pencil to map the damage and paste areas, then by using the Lion Roar Zimmerit Applicator, and a 3mm Jewellers Flathead Screwdriver, I have applied the 'disrupted' pattern of the Zimmerit onto the flaking and scabrous rump of this once noble 'Big Cat'.<br />The sponson plates Zimmerit has been realised with just the Lion Roar Tool, though the pattern's most forward edge often has the 'trowelled' ridge where the Glacis plate meets the Sponson's plate.<br /><br /> Well the next logical step I suppose is the AP damage to the 'soft' area's on the Glacis plate and Gun Mantlet!<br /><br /> See you all later...

Sorry for the void between posts, and the slow response to comments... Not really au fait with the 'whole blog' thing yet!<br /><br /> There that's my grovelling apology over. And what have I been up to on the Tigers?<br />Well other than getting two builds going forwards (slowly) I have been spawning a wrecked Tiger of the s.SS.Pz.-Abt.101 of the 2nd Kompanie, that was originally from the 1st Kompanie, before the latters withdrawal from the Normandy theatre, in order to refit and train on the Tiger B.<br /> This has come about due to Rob's (Scratchmods) enthusiasm for me to wreck a Tiger! So I had a look around for one that would spur me into a build and found this one...<br /><br /> Now this Tiger caused a lot of web traffic as it's tale began to be pieced together, by an amazing bunch of researchers over on Missing Lynx, and Forum.Axis History.<br /><br /> http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=97516&highlight=<br /><br />The work of guys like Yann Jouallt, Mike Kenny, Hartmutt v Holdt, Cyprek, etc fascinate me, always liked a good detective novel... And this stuff is better than Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's sleuth works.<br /><br /> So as a tribute to their efforts, (and Rob's patience) here we go...<br /><br />I am once again using either DML #6253 or #6406! I tend to combine a lot of sprues from various DML Tigers together for space saving!!! The Zimmerit is applied with Tamiya's Smooth (white) Epoxy Putty, I use this due to it's long curing time, it's ability to be softened with gentle heat, and it has a stiffness to it that enable you to really impress the pattern into it, almost to the strenes surface, without 'splurge' between the rows, adding to the look akin to the actual Zimmerit seen on a Tiger's hide. For the pattern this was replicated using a Lion Roar Zimmerit 'roller' tool.<br /> As you can see from the actual images of '211' it has taken a 'hell of a pasting'! I think for my first attempt at a 'Trashed Tiger' this one has got a bit of everything thrown at it! Impacts,fire damage,missing stowage,shattered Zimmerit, field repairs, and re-numbered to boot! <br /> I have been having a good look at the rear of this unfortunate Tiger, and it appears to have possibly taken a lot of punishment to it's rear. I believe that it has the right exhaust assembly missing, except for the armoured cover. Maybe a round took it out or it was lost due to an explosion from within the engine compartment, as the fire damage is mainly to the rear right hand side portion of the Tiger. I have pasted up the flanks and bow plate of this Tiger, and will post some more later, as I want to experiment with something on the rear hull plate.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping off... Back very soon.

Well I thought that I had forgotten something, and I did... The sibling to '121'... '112' This is a straight 'OOB' build using the Gunze Sangyo paint code given in the instructions for DML #6383 Tiger 1 Late with Zimmerit. The only things of note on the build, is the removal of the moulded Zimmerit pattern behind the exhaust assemblies, the shortening of the DS Track by '3' links (though this has now been resolved with shorter tracks in the Cyber Hobby "Wittmanns last Tiger" kit #6610. Still not a great fan of the moulded Zimmerit or DS tracks, but with a little attention and patience, #6383 can give you a highly acceptable depiction of this legendary beast. Weathering was achieved using a mix of MIG Productions pigments, artists pastels, and oil washes, pin and dot filter.<br /><br /><br />The 'spattered mud' effect on the exhaust shrouds was realised by 'blasting' air from the airbrush over a heavily loaded brush, heavy with a mix of pigments, pastels and fixatives. (P.V.A. and MIG Productions)<br /><br />Right then off to the others kitties in the litter!<br /><br />Back soon, Cheers Phil.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14484792262400258284noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3754373722248492803.post-34671560038741291352010-02-04T06:58:00.005+00:002010-02-04T07:21:13.719+00:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhls-W-hj-REENHGxzyxqKmblXx5pcbiUpFyP9bJESU-ao_wV5cW76DSx1cbqFT5w3kKeA57MXeMEu0t_8yqxWgWrNQwbOzmhI6IYXakyWJ3szNPIaImxh5Os7ZWzB2YjcjpWg2JD1RCd2d/s1600-h/%236383+pigments+etc+004.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhls-W-hj-REENHGxzyxqKmblXx5pcbiUpFyP9bJESU-ao_wV5cW76DSx1cbqFT5w3kKeA57MXeMEu0t_8yqxWgWrNQwbOzmhI6IYXakyWJ3szNPIaImxh5Os7ZWzB2YjcjpWg2JD1RCd2d/s320/%236383+pigments+etc+004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434283791468535346" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaXVMk9RtCGtGIMfGDWtNXpAU5AokW0nzGU1On7VoLd-67UAdo7Kfcu01ZiMgnwOFqJYeSlTeJ4FaEly079IiTD0iBFb8sklkebM6yeP7O_UpRMl-y4YvAjqa4-3PJvgODjiTpu_1EMXr/s1600-h/%236383+pigments+etc+005.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTaXVMk9RtCGtGIMfGDWtNXpAU5AokW0nzGU1On7VoLd-67UAdo7Kfcu01ZiMgnwOFqJYeSlTeJ4FaEly079IiTD0iBFb8sklkebM6yeP7O_UpRMl-y4YvAjqa4-3PJvgODjiTpu_1EMXr/s320/%236383+pigments+etc+005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434283271240807394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4rcCbJmpHmooV0Xuc3NSABSCQjqfHQ7Uoddm9LADGXit3h8mlVCuz0XnUCXluxcYhOUPeKnvpNa7aHJij9sTmwL9iWZcUeNn2TMWIhtSVf-s1LWlnAsuJGjetq5JGiNmcY6McGRYvC6fJ/s1600-h/%236383+pigments+etc+007.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4rcCbJmpHmooV0Xuc3NSABSCQjqfHQ7Uoddm9LADGXit3h8mlVCuz0XnUCXluxcYhOUPeKnvpNa7aHJij9sTmwL9iWZcUeNn2TMWIhtSVf-s1LWlnAsuJGjetq5JGiNmcY6McGRYvC6fJ/s320/%236383+pigments+etc+007.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434282182389090658" /></a><br />Well there has been a little more work on the first kompanie Tiger '121' (this is a slightly 'modded' DML #6383 with moulded Zimmerit... Not a big fan!) a bit of subtle shifting of the pigments and a light dusting of a very heavily diluted Tamiya Buff XF57. This is applied along the lower hull, and at the intersection of the turret and hull roof. This helps 'tie in' the pigments and washes, and gives the effect of a very recent coat of 'travelling' dust... After all these Tigers road marched some 10k to get knocked out at Villers Bocage!<br /> Now that this Tiger is nearing completion, my thoughts turn to the next Tigers upon the 'workbench horizon'! These will both be from the second kompanie, the first incarnation of '211' and either '233' or '234' using the tactical numbers of two unidentified Tigers to tie in with a 'knocked out' second kompanie Tiger, that features a few interim features of a February '44' build.<br /><br /> Right then "scalpel nurse"...
