[Guest]

hello evryone, i was away for a while and couldnt finish my ferrari built. i had some hard times after holiday. my wife got tumor on her stomach and got operated. it was a big shock for both of us. i couldnt have time to work on modeling. i just did very small work untill last week. now everything is ok, tumor is not lethal, i am back for modeling.


previous friday i started to build this big boy and finished it in 1 week -this is my personal record- to get ready a local competition. competition was held this afternoon and i couldn't manege to won award


i learned a lot from other modellers and realised i have very long way to walk infront of me and there are a lot things to learn...

I have to say that if you didn't win anything with that the others must have been of an extremely high standard! I think your weathering and chipping effects are very effective and overall the metallic surfaces look very realistic. Hopefully the ones that did win offered you some guidance as to what you can do that bit better and next time you are in with a chance. The only thing that stands out for me is the finish on the woodwork. That would be a very light colour as the wood would be untreated and well bleached and worn.


I'm happy to hear your wife is doing well, we have been in a similar position and it is a very difficult time. Thankfully she didn't have what we feared and everything was OK.

Wow! Is hard to believe is a 1/48 Tiger!! Looks great to me


Good news to heard that your wife is ok!! My best wishes and a fast recovery!!

[Guest]

I think you deserve more than an award after all that you have been through.


Your tank is excellent, don't worry that you didn't get a award, the judges apparently can be crazily anal and maybe your tank had a rivet missing from behind a wheel or something.


Great job, love the paintwork and the weathering

Looks very good

[takeslousyphotos]

I would have thought that would have been a winner for sure.........It is exceptionally well finished....... I like it a lot. I am building a T90A and if it turns out half as good as your TIGER I will be very happy.


Glad to hear your wife is doing ok and There is nothing serious. Good news.

[Guest]

Safak that is a very very nice dainty piece. Very nice paintwork and really superb effects. Not overdone just right.


I like the attention to detail with the tools and bits and pieces.


Finally very nice photography the detail is var clear indeed.


And really finally pleased to hear that all is well with your wife.
