English subtitles are available. This is a complete build of Tamiya King Tiger Ardennes Front in 1/35 scale. This is truly a complete build where you see the construction, painting, and weathering. Enjoy
Just a quick comment to let you know that I enjoyed this video very much. I have just purchased this same, Tamiya King Tiger Kit, and I look forward to building and painting it. I agree with you and I am very happy with the quality of kits that Amiya is producing lately. Please keep making these videos. It is nice to see what other. Modelers are doing, and sometimes I get to see a demonstration of a kit that I may be thinking about buying. I also wanted to let you know that you do NOT seem arrogant or like you are trying to be an "expert" at all. You are very kind, friendly, and helpful. It is plain to see that you enjoy this hobby and want to share that with other scale model hobbyists. Wishing you all the best!
+John Richards That you. You wrote very kind words. You are right. I do enjoy this hobby a lot and my goal is to just encourage others to make their own model kits. I'm just myself. Take care and have a wonderful day!
Hey QDC your Tiger is riding high. I believe you made the same error I did. This is best illustrated at the 5:39 mark as you will note the torsion bars are resting on the bottom of the locator pins as opposed to the torsion bars covering the locator pins thereby lowering the suspension to the correct height. In other words the locator pins would be covered by the torsion bars and not visible. I know we are not the only ones to make this error so I did want to point it out to other modelers who may be building this kit for the first time.
+qdc748a great work as ever. love the camo effect. So far I've assembled mine but have yet to paint it. I did cut out several of the fenders to sumulate field damage, as well as rhe front left flap and added some holes to simulate battle damage.
You can rely on good old Tamiya to make a detailed kit that builds nicely. Well done Q. Your Kingtiger looks terrific. Beauty of a camo paint job. Weathering is tops too. Hope you do the figures also. Bill.
I watched, until now, most of your videos. And I must say, for a non-professional modelbuilder, you're (in my opinion) a first rate modelbuilder. I learned many things from your builds. Keep the excellent work going and I'm looking forward to your next projects. Greetings from Belgium!
Nice straightforward build Colin on this one. Great job on the camo pattern and the subtle weathering too. Goes to show you that sometimes less is more! Looking forward to your next build.
That is a nice build, love the paint work. Every time I watch one of your builds it makes me want to get back into model building. It's been 12+ years since I did my last one. I have a B-17G that's been sitting it the wardrobe for 13 years!, that'll be my biggest challenge. Great work, thank you for sharing :)
In my opinion, "comes out good" is not how your model kit looks but how you enjoyed the process. If you enjoyed it, you always are coming out good. Take care 😀😀
I built the same kit a couple months ago. I didn't do a camouflage paint scheme like yours, as it was my first kit and I didn't want to ruin it. I love how your paint scheme looks
+qdc748a I'm considering buying another Tiger 2 kit from Tamiya again and doing a camp scheme. The one I purchased from my local model shop came with photo etch parts and a metal gun barrel
Hi I just got a tamiya king tiger for Christmas so had to watch your build I was not disappointed you did a great job I like the paint job as always all the best from here in the uk Anthony
That's cool that you shared this with me on RU-vid. I'm sure you will enjoy building it. I want to wish you and your family a belated Christmas and also wish you a very happy new year 🎉
Nothing can go wrong with Tamiya kit, even if it's an older one:) Still you nailed it in your great style, Colin. King Tiger looks fantastic. Cheers, Radek
You do such beautiful work man. You make it so easy and understanding. I love watching your videos. You have away that I used to be like when I was much younger and could see all the detail and pride in your work . You just keep up all of your hard work. Someones got to keep it going, and your the man WHO can. C.J.
Welcome back, Maestro. Allow me a little Boston English: "WICKED AWESOME! WHATTA A PISSAH!" Translation: "BEAUTIFUL WORK! WHAT A KILLER MODEL!" Congratulations, Maestro. You are getting better all the time. Tiger Tanks have a certain mystique and yours definitely captured it. For a moment, I thought I was looking at the box cover art, not at your model. Job well done: from the assembly steps to the finished camouflage. Applying those dots by hand, indeed, shows your talent, patience, professionalism, and dedication to this hobby. Thanks for sharing and the inspiration. One question, please? Have you ever thought about something with Zimmerit? All my best. Your friend, Lou
