Nice progress guys. I’m late on my own schedule, but some progress was made on my kitty.
I managed to work on hull (not yet closed though, because I want to paint interior black as I want to leave hatches open and put some figures there.
So far I think model is overcomplicated a little bit. In some places instruction tells to combine ~2mm element from 3-4 plastic pieces… So that’s definitely won’t be a quality breaker build 
Plus wheels & some small elements
Some oil stains, light mud (it is supposed to be Spring after all), and the cat will be done. Accessories need finishing and decals for the figures applying.
“The fuel system leaks all over the place.” I heard
Then the treatment it shall get!
Looking good!
Your build is very good. My only thought would be the tank tracks (not the links). The plant life would be crushed down but not so muddied.
I know what you mean, but as it’s late spring there could be a shower or two around, making the ground sufficiently wet enough to be churned, followed by a blast of sunshine to dry up the deposits on the tank 
Ps, my first attempt at a scene of any kind!
Well, for a first attempt or 5th or 10th, I’d honestly give it an outstanding. I wish you could show us how you did the grass.
My guess is a grass mat with some mud texture applied where he wanted the tracks to be in order to create the crushed and churned ground effect.
Am I close?
Thats looking good MartinBird87 . Base for a first attempt v good the tiger almost looks a peace sitting there waiting for the next encounter
Encouraging me to get on with mine .
Right? I am finishing the base on mine now but it won’t be as varied as Martin’s; just simple grass. I don’t have room unfortunately for bases much larger than the vehicle itself so not a lot of gear gets added to my bases. Deployed artillery is the exception as they look kind of dumb without the rest of the gear set up around them.
I still have two more Tigers to assemble since I went ahead and cut them off their sprues as soon as I finished assembling the first one.
Full transparency, it’s this mat with some extra work put in: Spring Meadow With Dry Turfs F511 Model Scene 28x18cm
That’s the idea! A break between engagements.
Spot on 
It looks great, better than I would end up with. I think this is a great idea.
Nice work on the figures. Black uniforms are hard to do well and yours look good!
