After over a month I’ve finnaly completed the major construction phase of the Tiger project. I won’t lie, it’s been a bit of a slog with all the extra detail I wanted to add to the build however it was to be expected. of course. After completing the hull construction I naturally moved onto the turret which was somewhat more straightforward.
Like the hull, cast texture and weld details were added where needed. For the track brackets I added 3d printed Rochm parts which I found added a great amount of detail for being such small additions.
I also wanted to try my hand at adding cloth details with Tamiya epoxy putty. I really liked how this putty handles when baby powder is added, it rolls very thin and doesn’t stick at all. I’ll definitely be using this technique in the future.
Also of note are the figures I picked out for the build, which were by Alpine and Stalingrad. I really liked the quality of both, although I found that the Alpine offering was slightly better quality than the one by Stalingrad.
Part of the reason of going through the entire mockup process was that I wanted to experiment with stowage options for the Tiger. I knew from reference photos that Tigers didn’t really have a lot of stuff pilled up on the rear deck however I couldn’t resist adding some bits and pieces here and there.
It’s a short and sweet update this time around but I wanted to get some photos out of this build before moving onto the painting phase. Enjoy the glamour shots below!
