That's certainly one battle weary Tiger :!: :!:

I love the way Noel has painted the replacement barrel and all the little nicks and scratches.

Love that paint job, the weathering is one of the best in 1/6th I have ever seen! I'm not very keen on colour photos in this scale but you have a very convincing Tiger 1 well done, is there any chance you can give us all a breakdown of how Noel has achieved the look ie base colours top coats and the superb weathering technique.....please please please please

The master painter has struck again. What an impressive paint job on a unique version of the Tiger 1. Well done Noel, you are a very talented individual. Adrian, this tank should be displayed at Emu Gully next year, what do you think?

What can I say about Noel's work that I haven't already?

Adrain, That is one masterpiece Tiger 1 you have. Enjoy.

Kind regards

Hello Adrian,

Thats a very beautiful tiger you got there,
amazing weathering work is done on that tank.
Do you have a movie on you-tube of running the tiger?

Are you gonna take the tiger to the next Armortek openday weekend? Because it would be amazing to see that tiger for real

regards Yves

Fantastic paint job. Hard to believe it's not real. I was thinking of putting a clean finish on my Tiger and letting it weather naturally but now I cannot decide. Looking at this model the natural weathering might look out of scale. Well done. Looking forward to seeing some video of his tank in action. Great inspiration.

Amazing! Getting this look really intimidates me. I have been researching the hell out of weathering but still..You are going to be a difficult goal post to reach.
