Neil...

Here is the first Konigstiger repainted. I still have to paint the barral end and, put some sepia wash on the wheel nuts and weather the tracks and, paint the locking mechanism on the turret hatches but, then it will be done. I know you wanted some progress shots.

Hope its Ok??

Looks very nice, realistic as well. The shadowing will bring out the details. The barrel end? Some consider painting it black as unrealistic. Which way then? A darkened color where the heat has affected the paint.

Thanks. I use a smoke pigment for the end of the barral and fix it using a pigment fixer. This gives it more of a dull finish darker than a matt black.

The second Konigstiger repaint for your viewing. You wanted a winter white washed porsche variant and, it is harder to find these. However, here is tiger 314 of the Schwere Panzer abteilung 503 (Fledherrnhalle). I have three or four really good pics of this tank in the Szarkerestes area fighting in the winter battles late in WWII. It did not have a long life and, was scrapped for parts on or around the 4th April 1944

Completely different to the Henschel version as its had less time to weather out the white wash so, its more of a cold metal look with more grey blue and black used to weather the vehicle.
