Again, great stuff. :D
Someone was bashing the 21st Tiger the other day but when you see what can be done it is still an amazing piece for the price.

Great job there PC!!!
I had one and was going to mod it also, but I ended up selling it off because I'd never get around to doing it.. :oops:

That zimmermit really makes the model. Nice work. I want to do a Pz IV. I know there are a number of zimmermit materials out there, I was curious what you used? Was it the winter scheme Tiger to begin with?

Nice mod. I particularly like the wear and tear around the hatches etc. Is that the zimmerite? I am not familiar with that product.

That`s Outstanding work mate.

With all the snow we have & no doubt you guys in the US have,an outside photo would be cool (pun intended).

Looks a lot better than the XD Winter Tiger BTW.
