WOW they look totally awesome and you have got them so lifelike, I never realised that such could be made from what you have achieved!! I have a 1/35 TIger and a SHerman 1/35 both in the garage at moment til I get round to fixing them up.


Wanted to Michael witmans TIger but still got the research to do to get the Tiger right and the Sherman I want to do a Normandy DD tank ( the swimming Sherman) by they are on the part bench but they will never be as good as what you have acheived I will have to learn a lot more new skills to get to your level.

Thank you so much! Never say never my friend! the longest trip starts off with the first step. Have had plenty of practice- "30 odd years" Just stick it out ,you'll get there. Thanks for your kind words Cheers....JIM

Thanks Scott, I try my best to make things look as authentic as possible within reason and pocketbook. Weathering seems to come about on its own - just keep throwing stuff at it Trouble is knowing when to STOP Am screwed for foliage for Tiger - 3 feet of snow about makes it difficult collect the roots I like to use for tree branches But I'll keep chugging along with other aspects of build in mean time. Cheers!
