Dragon King Tiger Porsche Turret

Thank you to all for the gracious comments, I really appreciate the feedback! Since I'm trying to get back to the bench after several eye procedures, I have a few things I've been wanting to try. I damaged areas of the kit zimmerit to add some interest to an otherwise too perfect exterior, I thought you ought to be able to see the concrete edge. I used the Dremel and a flat bottomed cutter to make the damage, then smoothed the "metal" hull with my micro chisel. I then painted the concrete edge with PollyScale Old Concrete. This proved to be too much like the tan in the camo stripes, so I repainted it with Model Color silwsjuxyne. B) Don't know that color? Neither do I because the label has the numbers worn off. :facepalm It's a light grey, I think it looks like newly exposed concrete.

I added a little worn bare metal to the fender too.

I'll let that overnite and then get it ready to filter and weather. Still a lot of detail painting to do, hoping my vision will continue to improve, I'm still shaky on the close stuff.

Here's a little tune to keep you entertained. :drinks

You talking about the Porsche turret is what got me interested in building this. :coolio I had made some progress that I hadn't taken pictures of just prior to my recent eye issues, I'll try to get some pictures and maybe finish this build before the deadline. It's gonna be close! :pinch:

:drinks
 
As much as it pains me to concede, my eye just won't let me model. I tried painting some of the missing details, but between not being able to focus on the parts and my lousy depth perception, I decided to shelve the build for now. :( Thanks to all who followed along and for the support while all this is going on. :notworthy

I feel your pain Mike, we all know how much you want to get this finished. Best not to push things and let nature take it's course.

Hang in there! :zen :zen :drinks
