Hi Tim
Hopefully it will be finished by then, plenty of painting to do first though.

I think I may have overdone the alcohol intake this Christmas, I keep seeing dots in front of my eyes !

Weathering still to be done so should tone it down a bit

Regards and a happy New Year to all.

i like it steve, the colors look vivid, i've been meaning to get into this look and changing my original kingtiger color scheme to something like this, keep up the good work, regards simon.

I would do the dots slightly larger and less "established" .... slightly soft.

Some more painting done

Lots of dots, weathering to come.

Back end

Turret numbers added

On to the weathering next

Hi Steve looking good, it's certainly a challenge doing this type of paint Scheme been trying to do the same on my build since Christmas, and what a drag it's been, still it's nearly done now

Hi Roger
As you have obviously found out, it's a long process and working out the best order to mask and paint is a nightmare.
I used the Tamiya 2mm lining tape to lay out the pattern then filled in the masked areas with normal masking tape and paper. Looks good when finished and well worth the effort.

Hi Steve thank's for the painting info on your build, a quick question, where did you purchase your number's on the turret ? they look good.
