Very nicely done 
cam looks great and it’s got a nice pose. You know he isn’t going to suffer from sight parallax when he has you in his scope crosshairs …

So, the King Tiger chassis colour … All change !!!
Tried to add a third brown splinter colour and totally gashed it up…it wasn’t pretty
So, on to plan G … 
Those first 2 were a bit dark so got some more light on it to show it defined a bit more.
I oversprayed the whole hull in Halfords red Primer …
Same as what the Rheintochter launcher was.
I will be spraying a NATO green or Field grey over that in a basic random pattern and the front shield on the launcher.
Quick shot of the Panther missile supply wagon.
Still not sure what colour to paint the missiles …

Trisaw: Looks great! The camo works well with the mechanization bits.
Johnny: Nice progress. Liking the difference in the color schemes. Maybe an RML 2 or RLM 66 for the missile colors, like the missile version of just primered, with a white tip? Thinking some sort of “factory fresh.”
Happy Modeling,
zon

Trisaw, very nice. Are you goi g to give it a dull/flat coat of varnish when it is on a base? Seems very shiny, but might just be the pictures.
I am with Zon on the missiles. RLM 66 could look great - maybe with dunkegelb tip?

Don’t give the man an easy option. Make him work for it.
John, I expect a suitable camo pattern based on rocketry of the time - one, or a selection of these

C’mon, the last scheme is easy; just a bunch of straight lines.

Yes, I will spray Flat Coat.
The shininess is from the Citadel Miniatures washes as they’re semi-glossy to settle into the panel lines, nooks and crannies compared to other brands’ flat washes.
It is too small to add decals, being 1/20th scale.
Thanks for the compliments, everyone.

Welcome onboard, David! Looks great - especially the figures. Very crisp and clear for their scale. I recently purchased some MIG productions 1/72 figures expecting them to be this crisp and was really disappointed on the soft details. Yours looks much better - what company is this?

Thanks for the welcome @SGTJKJ. These come from Alex Miniatures (Alexminiatures.com). They do some great 1/72 figures but unfortunately are produced in Russia. I was able to get them from panzerfux.de. It is so hard to find 1/72 figures!

Yeah, the move from the washes to the new shades is a step back to their original inks - the new stuff is shiny and can be reactivated by adding more layers, so be careful you don’t accidentally undo any shading! It needs to be sealed after you are done…
Love the Sci Fi / Alternate History theme, so many great options.
I need to look thru the stash and see what I can dream up…
Sounds good, Neo. Only your fantasy sets the limit in this campaign. Whatever, you feel is cool and exciting within the What-If and Sci-Fi genre - go for it! 
Sooooooo… I thought I would give the basic green cam a go on the King Tiger chassis… Freehand with no masking.
Quite like how it went ??
Enjoyed trying it freehand and it was nice and easy control.
Ryan @Tank_1812 remember that airbrush you recommended ?? And I got one as well … Have you used yours much ? I have to say I think it’s brilliant… I think it was about £40 ? A complete bargain …

Everything that I have painted since getting it has been done with it. So far that would the AHN and R35 posted and primed some other figures. Not sure what else off the top of my head. I hope to paint my 1/35 Battleship 5” turret this weekend with it.
