Jagdtiger is such a cool steel cat. It’s hard to argue about that. I built one when I was about 15 years old, it was one of the Dragon kits. I did a pretty chaotic job on it, but the result was pretty nice, and it actually won me some awards in junior categories!

So, almost 15 years later, I decided to give this monster another try. This time with a brand new Takom kit and with additional 15 years of modelling experience. It was my first German 3-tone camouflage in a very long time, and I had a blast from start to finish. To this day, I think it’s my most intricate weathering job ever.

It was also my first real attempt at painting miniature figures, and it was a scary experience! I also made a simple scenic base for the model, because at this time, I was starting to enjoy making miniature landscapes, and slowly finding courage to build a proper diorama.
