Custom 1/18 Tiger I
Here's a recently fixed up tiger.
I've applied woodland scenics snow as a test. I think the snow looks great!!!
I kinda wanted it to look and feel like a tiger that's been through thick snowy fields and a blizzard maybe.

She looks old and derelict a few years after the war , lost somewhere in the Russian steps.

Re: Custom 1/18 Tiger I
Looking good! Might be worth scraping the snow/"stuff" off of the tips of the teeth in the running gear, assuming she's been rolling recently, to add that lived in look.

* Has that abandoned look. Neat experiment Alex .
............ I really like the tactical turret # 356 you chose to paint on it too.

Re: Custom 1/18 Tiger I
Well Done Flyboy!!!!
The snow is very convincing, that Tiger would look great in a dio.

Re: Custom 1/18 Tiger I
NICE snow and ice! captures the cold almost too well...would be afraid to stick ones tongue on the turret
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

Re: Custom 1/18 Tiger I
Thanks for the feedback guys!
@Ram, this one I would like to sell. Tiger 1s were not used in the Bulge. I plan on making a jagdpanzer and Jagdpanther for it.
