Duel tiger 1 builds starting with Andy's 1/16.

The wheels are when you really know you're building a Tiger …

...this is painful and just ridiculous! Geez!!!

Similar and likely spicier words were said by every member of the maintenance/repair crews!

You tank is looking great, keep it up.

Got road wheels on... Some left there but not much ..

Stated track... Fully functional.

 

[BarleyBop]

Got road wheels on..

That's crazy!

 

[sapper23]

One side on working on other side now. It should be on and done by tonight, then just some touchups.

 

[Jakko]

Can you still take out a link from the track, and/or move the idler? The track looks very slack to me in those photos.

 

[sapper23]

Absolutely can... I just found it much easier to put on loose like that and then adjust with all those road wheels etc... was not easy to get all of it lined up so on... The track alone is like two inches wide... Pretty heavy too.

 

[sapper23]

Got some more painting done... Still wet.

 

[BarleyBop]

painting done

Please Sir, educate me!
What are those tentacles snaking all over?
Its like the Nautilus all over again!

Masking material

Masking material

And this thing in the middle if my face is my nose!
What exactly is it, how is it applied and removed? etc.

 

[sapper23]

Reusable for multiple uses.. is way more than needed even for 1/16 model... Just make size you want and stretch it out apply. When done it comes right off usually with no residue, crumble it back up and put away for next model ...

 

[Edbert]

I didn't want to guess, glad I didn't.

It looked like camo-colored version of the "goo" from Nickelodeon to me.

 

[BarleyBop]

Holý moly Batman!
I knowed not such a thing existed!
Thanks for the lesson!

 

[sapper23]

Not necessarily cheap but makes camo a lot easier to do. Especially like the complex camo patterns and you get many uses out of it so...

Here is how much I used for whole lower portion of hull without turret

 

[Rob]

I just learned something. Thank you. The little lines of snake from your putty I never did it like that. I had it like 2 inches wide and trying to work with it oh my God. And remember when you use that stuff that's a liquid do not leave it on your model for more than an hour or so. Put it on paint and take it off. If you don't it'll melt Like goo

 

[Rob]

It's reusable too over and over

 

[sapper23]

Run through of armor brown... All needs touchups but do not get my German dark yellow until Friday. Ran out so will start turret.

 

[sapper23]

Got some done but been busy with property work. Finally got the paint I was waiting on as well. Going to try to work on some today, anyways here is where I'm at right now.

Tiger.
Looking brilliant, top work sir. Lovely paint job so far too, I bet it's wearing out the Airbrush. I have thought about getting one of Andy's 1/16th kits, even more tempted watching your build come together. .
