Great finish you have achieved on the wheels (Actually the whole tank), Love the dusty slightly worn effect and looking forward to seeing the completed tank.

Such a delicate touch on such a brutal vehicle :D

I do think you need to sort out those split pins though - they're letting the side down :wink: :lol:

Thanks for the nice comments.

Adrian, the split-pins and shiny washers are on my list. :D Finished the other side of the lower hull and running gear last night so just a few things to do before I start adding camo to the rest of the hull.

Best regards
Tim

Tim,
I can only say what others have said as well. The wheels look great, love the subtle color camo and weathering. You have set the bar way high for the rest of us. I look forward to seeing more progess. This Tiger will indeed be a masterpiece. :mrgreen:
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks Bob

Hi everyone

Camo added to the rest of the Tiger. Some weathering done but much, much more to go. Some minor part to add still but I'll paint and weather them before installing. All the tools and cables have not been finished yet.

Hi guys

Thanks again for the positive feedback.

Did the next step, the dreaded tactical numbers. White border, and crosses as well as divisional marking will be next. Then some camo touch up and the last of the weathering.
