There has been a slight change of plans for this campaign, I have decided to do a quick mojo builder on a subject I've wanted to do for a long time.

I'm planning this King Tiger to have been "liberated" by US troops, sometime in 1945. The Three Stooges short provides the inspiration, just too good a theme to pass up.

 
Thanks folks! The short left out lots of classic Stooge routines, look for the full length video, it's worth it!

Finally got a little time to assemble the kit, what a well detailed little monster! Everything fits and the directions are accurate!

N'yuk, n'yuk. n'yuk, Hey Moe!

Fresh from the paint booth, using Waldemar Trojca's Konigstiger In Color book as a sketch pad.

Green looks like it should have been a little more olive on here and the yellow needs toning down, but they always look so stark at this stage anyway. Still need to do the detail painting on the tools etc. Planning to start the washes Tuesday, back to work tomorrow! :stinker
 
Good job Mike . These complex paint jobs are so much harder to do on the smaller scale subjects. can't wait for some weathering. :popcorn

Cheers, Christian B)
 
A big THANK YOU to all for your support! This has been a trying week at Iron Mike's house, my wife has been on bed rest due to a doctor's pain injection gone bad. Needless to say, I've had my mind elsewhere and been away from the bench most of the week. I did manage to squeeze in some painting while she napped, what do you think?

The camo spots were hand applied, glossed up the areas for decals and the washes.
