Well my friends it is time for a brief update on the Tacom King Tiger. The main construction seems to be complete. There are some smaller things here and there but the main construction is done. Detail has been added to the lower hull rear plate.  The upper hull.  And both the inner and outer portions of the turret.        Since these pictures have been taken the upper hull, lower hull, and the turret have gotten some color. More on that later. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

And now for a brief update on the Tacom King Tiger Porshe turret. This post is all about color. Started painting using Mig Ammo paints. The names escape me for the moment but the pictures will tell the story. First up was Stynlrez Metal Primer. Over that went the main color. It went down smooth.    Oops I forgot to show my added radio set. The pictures are not the best but they do show the headsets. All of the other pieces are the co-drivers side.    Now the second round of paint set the tri color scheme.   The last thing is the exhausts. First I used the Metal Stynlrez, after that dried I sprayed(psi was near 2 or 3) Model Master Metallic Burnt Iron. Shortly after that dried I stippled several pastel pigments to give it a bit of texture.  Now overall the paint job is not accurate. At least to the drawing in the instructions. I am ok with it and will proceed. Next is to finish off the ammo racks for the hull and the turret. Then to glue it all together and install the tracks. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |
