Great tips. I’ve used steel Rod before. Just wanted to use the kit supplied parts to showcase the model here. Issue with guitar strings and steel Rod is they don’t taper. They are a constant thickness which is another reason why I used these parts. Really appreciate you suggestions 🙏💪
What a beautiful message to receive. So pleased you enjoyed it. Seems there’s a lot of people wanting a diorama! I have a few projects I need to tidy up…then I’ll see what I can do. Good luck 🐯🍺
Great work and great motivation for me! After years of modeling I only just finished my first Tiger. Now I want to try another one and follow this tutorial. Thanks for this Wicked Tiger!
I love it that people are getting motivated from these videos. Growing this hobby and getting people excited is what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing and good luck 🙏🍀🐯
Welcome to the greatest hobby in the world my friend! Just be careful not to expect too much from your early builds. I’ve been modelling for a long time. Try to enjoy the process rather than the result. Good luck with the modelling and the draw 🐯🙏🍀
@workbenchhobbies4316 Thank you! Iv built a few Tamiya kits as starter base and now moving to more complex kits from RFM and Takom. And every kit im trying something new to attempt to broaden my knowledge and skills just spent the last 2 weeks doing a ton of photoetch on an Easy Eight Sherman and learned alot!
Welcome to the greatest hobby in the world. Modelling has brought me so much joy and connected me to community over the years. Glad the vids are helping you. Good luck 🤞 🐯
Hey Yashar - Welcome back to the greatest hobby in the WORLD! So glad you have found the channel. Hopefully it has inspired you in a small way. Appreciate you taking the time to connect and good luck 🤞
Thoroughly enjoyed your processes culminating in this wicked Tiger! I painted a Tiger in the same scheme couple of years ago, only it was a Dragon kit in 1/72nd scale. Needless to say, the lightning bolt markings for that unit were tiny! Cheers!
Impressive paint and weathering effects, I just bought this kit. Your videos will be very helpful throughout the build to weathering. Thanks for posting!
WICKED TIGER!! Nice work Clayton. Love the selection and variety of weathering agents, powders, etc. that you use. I have two early production Tigers so a mid-production would be a nice addition. A very WICKED TIGER indeed. Take care mate!
Thanks to you Chris. Glad to hear you’ve found your way to this epic hobby! Be sure to check out some of my older videos. I try to cover all different techniques. Good luck and thanks for being part of the fun 💪🙏🍀🐯
Now that is one “Wicked Tiger”. I loved all the weathering bits on it. I have to try that pigment binder. Never used it before, but I liked your results. Thanks for sharing with us.
So glad to hear the videos have been helpful. Most of the time I’m learning as I go…so we are all learning together 😆 Thanks for connecting- good luck with the draw 🍀🐯
Nicely done! I enjoyed watching your process - its been a number of years since I built and painted a model kit so this was so helpful in seeing current techniques applied - cheers! Wicked Tiger!
I’ve built a lot of Takom kits. Some are definitely better than others. This is a lovely kit but the track assemblies could be a lot for a new modeller. So if you are wanting to build it just know there will be some patience required. Good luck 🤞 🐯
The application of foliage to that wicked tiger really sets it off and has given me some ideas for a Normandy based Panzer IV im planning! Thanks for the inspiration 👍
Wasn't sure how I'd like it at first, really grew on me as it got muddied up. Has to be the little boy in me playing with the army men in the back yard coming out. That is one Wicked Tiger 👍
Wicked Tiger Clayton! Have to admit that I was initially very dubious about that camo scheme but it’s come up a treat once the filters and weathering was applied. I rate oil dot filters and often use them to tone down WW1 lozenge fabric on German aircraft. I hope to see it at ScaleACT. 😊
Hey Craig. Doing these multipart videos can be a little confronting at times, but I guess it’s good for everyone to watch the journey taking it from more or less a toy to something that looks real(ish). And yes…oil filters work a treat don’t they?! Looking fwd to Canberra already. Good luck 🤞 a thank you so much for your support 🙏🐯🤞
Hey Matthew. Love the Elefant. Such a cool vehicle. Most of those techniques should work well on that palette. Thanks for taking the time to enter in the fun 💪☝️🐯
You did a great job with this video tutorial, Clayton. Very enjoyable, and informative. I found your weathering techniques to be interesting, and very helpful. Thank you, for all you do on your YT channel 👍😎 Cheers 🍻 ~ Rob at RB1S
Excellent tutorial - new sub here - thank you!! 🤙🐅 💞 This kit is on my 'want list' and I hope Takom produces a full interior mid production Tiger I in the near future.
You really went through this build in a layered approach. I also like to apply a step, recompose and apply the next step. This creates a moderate buildup of effects resulting in this case in a Wicked Tiger 🐅💥👍💥
Awesome, thank you! Weathering armour is all about the layering, so it sounds like you are nailing that! Great stuff. Thanks for taking the time to share. Good luck 🍀🐯✌🏼
Wicked Tiger! I can’t wait to see what’s next! I really like how you did the ditching beam. I’m working on a T -55 and this technique will come in handy. Thank you for sharing.
When it comes to sponge chipping my fist contact wit the model is a quick dab on the bottom to make sure I had taken enough paint out of the spoung. I do this every time I reload the sponge. Nothing worse than putting a blob of chipping paint on the model and having to start over. Have you ever concidered chipping the zimmerit coating with a slightly darkened color of Buff. As you know the coating was quite suseptible to chipping and cracking when hit by flying debris. Nice looking project it has got me rethinking my next tiger project.
Hey! Great tip with the sponge, and yes, this is something I generally do myself. Re the Zimmerit, I added my chipping effects to that in the painting video - not sure if you saw that one ? They just tended to tone down during the weathering so are probably not that obvious. Thanks for taking the time to join in the conversation 🙏
Gorgeous work! Really liked the tarps and spare wheel detail and post shading. Wicked tiger - wicked, a great term of appreciation from Cheltenham high school in Victoria the early 1980s - a time when I first developed my passion for scale models! Getting back into the hobby thanks to UA-camrs such as you. Keep up producing these videos which are a fantastic inspiration!
Hi Clayton. This finished model really is a Wicked Tiger! I have really enjoyed watching this build series, and the explanations of your techniques throughout. I have learnt a lot by watching your build and weathering videos, and have adopted a few of your weathering methods with great success, so I thank you for that. Love the channel mate, so keep them coming. Cheers until the next project!
Thanks Gary. It’s one thing to just watch the videos but to hear you are implementing the techniques is so rewarding for me. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to connect 🍀🐯
Wicked Tiger! I have been using Vallejo products for my Panzer Kampfwagen II. I haven't been able to ammo products where I live except online and I prefer to grab a product when I buy them.
Well done on pushing on with the tiger after the base painting.The weathering is spot on and i agree with the storage on WICKED TIGERS, us modelers sometimes over do it with storage on our tanks.Hope you can do a diorama for the wicked tiger.
Hey 👋 thanks for joining in. Seems a few people are really keen for a vignette…so I’ll clear a few builds off the schedule and see what I can do 😬 Good luck 🤞 🐯
As I've said elsewhere Clayton, another great video explaining what your doing, why you're doing it and how your doing it - nice and tight just like your Wicked Tiger! Hope you decide to show this beauty at the NSW show or ScaleACT, would be most excellent seeing it in person 😉😉
Very nice wicked Tiger. I've received my own Takom Mid but I've put it off for now cause I don't want to mess it up with a messy paintjob (no airbrush)... Gonna try experimenting with stippling/drybrushing camo onto a Tamiya Panther and a Tamiya Tiger Late before I even touch the Takom kit. I also need to invest in aftermarket tracks since my Tamiya Tiger indy tracks crumbled on me, haha.
Hey 👋 can be tricky trying to replicate German 3 tone schemes brush painting. I know some of the tigers were monotone…maybe you could look for one of those schemes. Thanks for taking the time to connect 🐯
@@workbenchhobbies4316 Asked a similar thing on Facebook and David Bryden said that many Mid Tigers initially came out with just Dunkelgelb and a white wash... Nevertheless, if I can get stippled/feathered camo that looks presentable and can be modified with oils, pigments, washes, etc...
A good video of your work and the way to this convincing result, Clayton. A cool Tiger I, especially with this improvised camouflage. Impressive! Best wishes and a good weekend. Joachim
Looks great. A bit too red for my liking but in the end its what you like the most. The foilage looks fantastic. Instead of post shading, maybe you can try preshading. Since you use brush/sponge chipping this will work. I havent used post shading, but I will try now thanks to your video. Happy building!
I’ve noticed different screens seem to present this more red than others. Even when I looked on my tv at home it was quite vivid. It really toned down but appreciate its not for everyone. And far too many layers on this one for pre-shade to make any difference, hence went down the post shade route. I do love that technique 😄 Appreciate you sharing your thoughts 🙏🍺
Very nice Clayton. I've got this one in the stash and was planning to do exactly the same camo scheme. Great inspiration for me. Oh and by the way it's a wicked tiger. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Great finish on one of the tuffest , factual schemes you can attempt for the "wicked tiger " 1 . Well done for plugging away and trusting the process. I had the same doubts when doing a hard edge , 3 tone camo on a dml sd.kfz7 flak 37 . Horrific until that first filter .. then , sorted , no longer toy like . Thanks for the vids . M
Many thanks Martin. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about tackling this scheme for the videos, just because of how nasty it can look during the process. But like you said, trust the process and the result will appear. Good luck 🙏🍀🐯🍺

I tend to get analysis paralysis when weathering my models but your comment about ‘just do something’ resonates. Love that wicked Tiger!😅
Yeah…we all suffer it from time to time. Glad to hear you got something from those words. Thanks for connecting 🐯
This has been a great series! Weathering is certainly a struggle point for me, and your explanations help. Maybe I'll try my own wicked tiger!
Great news. Glad you enjoyed it. Let’s see if we can get you one!☝️ 🐯🤞

My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks go to you 🙏🐯🤞
ive just joined your merry band watched the whole build of the Tiger loved every second 🙂
Brilliant! Thanks so much for your support. Its appreciated 🙏🍺
For the antenna you can use guitar string or acupuncture needles ,and the needles come with a spiral bace perfect for antenna base .
Great tips. I’ve used steel Rod before. Just wanted to use the kit supplied parts to showcase the model here. Issue with guitar strings and steel Rod is they don’t taper. They are a constant thickness which is another reason why I used these parts.
Really appreciate you suggestions 🙏💪
One of the most unique camos ive seen on a German tank in a lomg time, definitely a wicked tiger
It’s different isn’t it? That’s what drew me to it. Glad you liked it. Good luck 🍻🙏🍀🐯

A good video of your work and the way to this convincing result, Clayton. A cool Tiger I, especially with this improvised camouflage.
Impressive! Best wishes and a good weekend. Joachim
Thank you very much Joachim. Always appreciate your support here in the channel 🙏🍻
Now that is a wicked tiger mate!! Thanks again for the tips!
No problem 👍 Thanks for joining in 🍀🐯
great work !!
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻
Looks great. A bit too red for my liking but in the end its what you like the most. The foilage looks fantastic.
Instead of post shading, maybe you can try preshading. Since you use brush/sponge chipping this will work. I havent used post shading, but I will try now thanks to your video.
Happy building!
I’ve noticed different screens seem to present this more red than others. Even when I looked on my tv at home it was quite vivid. It really toned down but appreciate its not for everyone.
And far too many layers on this one for pre-shade to make any difference, hence went down the post shade route. I do love that technique 😄
Appreciate you sharing your thoughts 🙏🍺
Great work ,,that’s a wicked Tiger
Thank you. Glad you liked it 🍺🐯
Very nice Clayton. I've got this one in the stash and was planning to do exactly the same camo scheme. Great inspiration for me. Oh and by the way it's a wicked tiger. Keep up the great work, love your videos.
Ah, that’s awesome! It’s a tricky scheme to execute but I’m sure you’ll nail it! Thanks for joining in. Good luck 🙏🍀🐯
Great finish on one of the tuffest , factual schemes you can attempt for the "wicked tiger " 1 . Well done for plugging away and trusting the process. I had the same doubts when doing a hard edge , 3 tone camo on a dml sd.kfz7 flak 37 . Horrific until that first filter .. then , sorted , no longer toy like . Thanks for the vids . M
Many thanks Martin. I have to admit I was a little apprehensive about tackling this scheme for the videos, just because of how nasty it can look during the process. But like you said, trust the process and the result will appear.
Good luck 🙏🍀🐯🍺
