discussion 1/35 Tiger 1.

[aaron]

1/35 Academy tiger 1 early.


I wanted to replicate an initial tiger in Leningrad, with a panzer IV stowage bin and no side mud guards.


I have mounted it on a small base because I wanted the tiger to appear dominant and almost trophy like.


Some inspiration

The Academy kit was beautiful and I can't wait to build the full interior. Sorry about the many lighting changes but I haven't found the sweet spot for taking pics yet.

Wow, what a top build Aaron, fantastic weathering and mud! I've been reading up on these early tigers, as I guess you have, looking at your research photos. I wish that there was an English translation for the tif.de site!


Also gets me thinking that I don't have to be quite so obsessional about painting 40 odd tyres - 'cause my wheels are going to be caked in mud too...

top notch winter finishing. the tank commander is nice addition. painting is great. love it.

Awesome!!! Love the derailing and weathering and that commander is looking very ominous ( good textures) I like your small base as the tiger does sit imposingly, love the dirt too


A true great build
