Hi all!


This evening I’ve been working on the exhausts.


These are the normal plastic pieces. Of course, there isn’t any kind of EP sheet that comes with the model :)

I added a scratch build pieces made from a lead sheet.

With an electric grinder I reproduced some damage.


View attachment 117689



Now I glued the lead pieces with super glue.

Then you just need to press the pieces with your finger.....and yep! Your exhausts looks much damaged now!


(you can add some plastic putty on the joins to seal the work)

Not Moni.


Are different size pieces on the center and one by one on the rear and front part :(


I'm thinking to paint the wheels and the tracks separaly and then glue all the set with patience, trying to don't damage the paintwork.

oh yes I know that way did on my KV,but painted all the wheels first then did the tracks half/half and jioned them where ther will not been seen, ;)
 
I'm building a 1/35 tiger 1 too Polux, yours is looking beasty with those guards. Pity about the missing hull piece but your replacement should look great with some Zim. I look forward to watching this.
 
Superb work so far Polux. Loving those exhaust shrouds.


Nice to see you back again Aaron, are you doing a build thread for your latest Tiger?
 
Thread owner
Well.....I did the scratch build piece on the hull, but the zimmerit is another history....


I proved different things, and some worked better than the others, but I never obtain the same effect like the model kit.


Accepting my defeat....I bought a zimmerit resin sheet to add at my Tiger :(


Is not exactly the same, but looks much better than my attempts....

Hi guys and gals!
Can anyone say me if this figures is ok for the Tiger?

Is a tank driver, but I’m not sure if the beret is correct for this late version.....o_O


Thanks

If I'm right Polux, the beret marks him out as in 1939/1940. By 1944, typical headgear was an officer's cap or a forage cap.
