My progress over several days

Progress on my Tamiya 1/48 Tiger 1 build.
Adding the Hauler pe set and Rb barrel added some battle damage to the front and rear fenders and exhaust shrouds.
Still lots more to add







More work done to the 1/48 Tamiya Tiger
Mainly the side skirts, i removed some to show the tracks better and added some damage to them too.
I also cut out the stowage bin folded lids and added my own made from brass sheet, with some damage and a clay "blanket" hanging out one side.
Added some other parts to, drivers hatch interior detail, smoke launchers, feifel filters etc
The white marks btw are where i removed CA glue with de bonder, it wont show through primer






More progress on the 1/48 tiger, all the Hauler Pe set is now on, tow cable, tool clamps etc as well as some wiring for the headlights.







1/48 Tamiya tiger now in paint
Primed in Ultimate Black primer and sprayed in tamiya XF63 (shown in pics outside of photo booth)
I then lightened and darkened the base colours to add highlights and shadows with some subtle modulation effects.
Road wheels all painted too and rubber masked with circle template.

Looks great Paul! On the damage on your shrouds, did you just put the dents in by pushing on the sheet with pliers, or did you use something else?

[Sturm]

Looks great! I'm eager to see what you guys come up with in this buddy build.
So will Boba test be driving the Tiger?

Photo etch benders to damage the edges and tweezer points to add indentations and rotary tool to add scrapes etc
