I know this has been a long build but the end result justifies the amount of time taken.
I hope you are planning to take this to Bovington in October as I am sure it will be a prize winner.

Steve

Re: King Tiger Porsche Turret Build
Simon,
Absolutely stunning detail. Having a long term project myself, I can say its only a long time if you haven't enjoyed doing it and you look like you've enjoyed it I know what you mean though, its nice to have a break and move on to something new.
As Steve says its going to be one of the top models at the show in October.
Now back to my 88

Hi Simon,
Simply oustanding paintwork - you certainly bring out the best of the Armortek model.
How about holding a paint lesson for us amateurs on Open Day - would that be possible?
Looking forward to seeing this masterpiece and the master behind it.
Cheers Per

Re: King Tiger Porsche Turret Build
many thanks all, i have enjoyed this build on the paintwork, the wheels are a bit repetitive and there's a lot more build detail you could do, its the size of the model which is tricky trying to cover a large area with detail and make it look convincing, not to turn it into a badly built toy, it's great to receive feedback and know others enjoy the posts, regards simon.

Re: King Tiger Porsche Turret Build
well this is the last of the build posts on the porsche turret, i'll keep nibbling away at the finish and overall look of the tank, i might even put some stowage on and perhaps a figure or two, thanks to colin barret, and especially to steve winstone 10 years of me pestering him for parts and upgrades, the wizard he is!, not sure whats next but will keep viewing, also thanks to all forum members for contributions, all for now simon manning.
