Re: Tiger build
I'd take that reject bin. Better than I could make most likely. Work of art.
Nice work Mark.

Re: Tiger build
Been waiting for a half decent day to finish painting... been very damp and humid here in SW Florida ! ...I don't like painting indoors as the over spray dust gets everywhere ! had a good day a few days ago and managed to get some items painted.... so close to the finish line ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: Tiger build
Was able to get the rest of the turret painted this morning...oddly enough there was a drop in the humidity do to the Sahara desert dust in the atmosphere according to the weatherman...how fitting as this is an African tiger... I now have to wait several days for the paint to fully cure as I use an oil base wash which will affect the paint if I didn't wait

Re: Tiger build
Looks a superb model. Just need to see it in its natural environment ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'd kill for a workshop that size. It looks about the footprint of my whole house
And is that a huge jet engine on the shelf ?

Re: Tiger build
One of the best i've seen in 13 years of watching the builds on the forum, it takes a lot of dedication to this level not to mention ability, well done, regards simon manning.
