Thanks Monica,,, it was definitely some trial and error at my first attempt on the zim...ended up using an acrylic wood filler that was thinned down and patterned using a Tamiya zim tool that I found on eBay. I liked the way it sort of broke off in some areas to Give the look of damaged zim.

Joe, that's a beaut of a zim and paint finish on your tiger.

Cheers,

Finally had a chance to install the tracks and oh boy did they test my patience i’ve added some additional pigments and streaking as well as had a chance to paint some figures that will company the tiger. Also was experimenting with a old damaged jeep trying to flatten the tires as it will become part of the small scene with the tiger and troops

Finally had some time to get back to the bench have been working on the ruins of the building that the tiger will sit in front of.

John, 98% of the building is scratch built. Only windows , doors, bricks on damaged wall sections and arches above door were either laser cut, resin or plastic that I had in the stash. Everything else was scratch built from cork, foam, plaster board, coffee stir stir, balsa wood strips.

Thank you Steve, Paul and Lee for the compliments. Trying to keep up as best I can..trying to get materials ready for the Simon T build at the same time trying to finish this one. Here are some new updates on the rest of the street,,, clay type material for the bricks..never used them before but they are pretty easy to use and have a great bit of detail and diff shapes and sizes so I think they look pretty real at this scale. Some other sections of the collapsed building getting painted up as well..more debris to come.

[Steve Jones]

Awesome update Joe. Once all weathered up it will look the DB's. Great work my friend

[Strenko J]

Okay finally finished Tiger I that was simultaneously being built along with the King Tiger for Simon...apologies for being bit photo heavy with the B & W’s

That is one nice looking "Cat" Joe. And a very "Homogenous Diorama. Certainly one to be proud of. :thumb2:
