Excellent work on both tank and figures. The camo on the uniforms is particularly splendid! :th:

That is one nice looking Tiger, and I think your figure painting skills are superb! :thumb1:

What brand of kit is this, just out of curiosity?

Standing ovation deserved - that looks fantastic, both the Tiger and the figures. Great work picking out the medals and sleeve cuffs. Well done.

it is the crappy zvezda kit but for 20 euros it is okay! compared to a dragon tiger it's a joke but that's ok this project is skill training. i had to replace the barrel with one from rb model. the tracks are still the vinyl ones from the kit. the diorama was built to test new techniques and to improve my figure painting skills with complex camouflage. glad you like it! :cheers2:

Excellent nothing more to say really, the camo on the uniforms is really good, having gone through that myself I know it's very hard to achieve a scale mottling on your figures.
I have one thing for you, painting at 1/35 I have found you can get away with more contrast on the skin tones and go really dark in the face lines, the effect stands out when a normal viewer looks at the scene.
Just a tip I picked up.

Great looking tiger. The weathering is spot on and the crew are done to a very good standard.

You have done a great job with the difficult Zvezda kit. The paint and weathering are spot on and the figures are beautifully done. I love the base too, it really brings the whole thing together and creates an authentic vignette. The only tiny suggestion I would have made would be to drill out the Anti-Personnel Mine Dischargers (the five tubes around the top of the hull). I feel bad mentioning it though as you have done a better job than I could have done. Well done :bow::
