Shige's Tiger I - Late

No dio this time, just the tank. Nice job, like the way the commander is "peeking" over the cupola rim. Zimmerit is well done also.

Very nice job, which kit did you use and was it stock only or were add on parts used?

She's a beaut Dave and it raises a question. I've read debate about the colour that should appear under damaged zimmerit. Some say red oxide primer, others say grey. I don't know. Any thoughts guys?

Thanks Dallas but that's not mine (I wish I were that good) it's from Shige of Dr. Shige's Tank World.

Guess it would be red if the vehicle's exterior was primed, grey if not and grey if a "Hit" had removed the zimmerit, primed or not. In short, I dunno.

That's what I would have thought, but the place I read about the grey colour was in a book by a guy who's a pretty good modeller, but also describes how he makes 'zinmerit' so I wonder how much notice I should take.

Love the dings and dents...amazing stuff. I also like the cool way he chose to display it on a long board like that.

I like how he tends to get away from standard colouring when it comes to German equipment. The lack of red brown is a nice change and the faded look of the sand colour is excellent.

This guy is great with tracks too...that colour he uses is spot on. I also like the way he's made the hand painted turret number look like a small guy painted a big number rather than like a big guy painted a small number...if you follow me.

I agree, the only tracks I've seen that look as good are these, by Steve Zaloga :



Of course Shige does nice tracks too. These Churchill tracks are 'strong':
