Dale,

I was traveling over the weekend and just now saw your Tiger. After I picked my jaw up off the ground I realised I don't have much to add to everyone's comments.

A true work of art! You are right, it looks like it was taken right off the battlefield. Totally amazing work and as always, great inspiration for me on my build/finishing work. Just awesome!

All I can say is: Now, more then ever, I can't wait to see your Sherman!

Kind regards

Tim

Thanks Tim I recieved your PM.... Noel can't wait to start on the Sherman he already has some great ideas for it . Plus if i buy a PZ.III . We are going to do a DAK sceme . Just think how good this would look with jerrycans everywhere plus stowage lots of worn and sun blenched paint grey showing through all over the place dust as well ! mmmmm .... Dale

CONGRATULATIONS IN COMPLETING YOUR TIGER DALE.
LOOKS FANTASTIC.......

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE PROGRESS ON YOUR TIGER OVER THE LAST YEAR OR TWO.
THANKS FOR ALL THE FINE DETAILED IMAGES THAT YOU'VE GIVEN US ALL OF YOUR BUILD UP, AND INFORMATION ON ABOVE.
YOU GIVE ME INSPIRATION IN COMPLETING MY OWN MID-PRO TIGER. HOPING THAT I'LL GET IT PAINTED SOME DAY SOON, AND UP AND RUNNING.
IF YOUR PUTTING YOUR NAME DOWN FOR ONE OF ARMORTEK KING TIGER II, CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU WOULD DO WITH ONE OF THOSE MONSTERS?
CHEERS

If this tiger is in my backyard, I could look at it for days.

This is the color scheme that I was aiming for when I finish my early tiger assembly.

Congrats!!!!!!

Dale,
I cannot add any more than the others are saying. Simply awesome paint and detailing. Magnificent. The tank looks weathered, battered, a bit tired, but still in the fight! Thanks for sharing them, sorry about the late response.
