Finishing The Mighty FrankenTiger Hybrid! | Tiger 1 Gruppe Fehrmann | Rye Field Model 1/35

It's been a long and intense journey, but this Tiger project has come to an end!
The previous two weathering episodes gave me a few ideas on how to improve the mud texture on the hull, so I went over it once again with my new enamel mud mixture.
I also couldn't miss the opportunity to use the dirty water mixture which I first used on the Rutscher a few months back.
In case you're wondering why there's no smoke residue or soot at the end of the big KwK 36, it's because Germans used smoke-less gunpowder :)

I didn't know trash could be so beautiful

[@The_last_prime]

If night shift builds it trash will become the most beautiful tank

[@theothertonydutch]

Everything humans produce is pretty much trash.

[@cyma1178]

Why trash?

[@stephenbridges2791]

I have thoroughly enjoyed this project. I've been modeling close to 60 years and this is one of the finest depictions of a Tiger that I have seen. All of the techniques you used were explained quite well. The benefit for all of us is; they are techniques any of us can use. No high dollar stuff. Just an investment of time and patience. Well done, sir!

Apart from the several dozen different materials used in weathering, you mean...?!

It took a while but the Tiger is finished... I hope you enjoyed the series! I'll see you again the next Friday with a modern tank 😊 And Panzermeister36 uploaded another Tiger video on his channel as well so make sure to check it out! Link is in the video description.

I don't think it's possible to make this Tiger look better at this scale, the result is amazing!

[@stuarthalton8866]

I love this build. Each time I rewatch I notice something else I like.

[@atomicbetrayal1]

That Tiger is simply awesome... I followed the entire project from the start so it feels weird that its over now, but as i said its a an awesome and cool looking tiger!

[@MAN394631]

Simply fantastic, the best Tiger model i ever seen, and every modeler knows Tiger models one can see thousands on all model shows or in internet, but Martin youre one impression me much.

[@aleberti__889]

Glaz: details It's the beautiful model i've ever seen! I love it!

[@aussiedownunder1993]

Man, this is by far, THE BEST BUILD OF A TIGER I EVER SEEN, that is some next level awesomeness mate!

[@cromagnonman7887]

Stunning! To see a tank with that ‘lived in’ look, it looks like it has truly been used.

[@Tinblitz]

I honestly really liked the "Weird" camo. The concept of a tank just made of leftover bits is very interesting. Can't wait to see what your next project is. I'm always excited for that new series video.

[@cady.moriarty]

I've been working my way through all of your playlists, and this is definitely a stand-out episode, the photos at the end are beyond incredible, muh friend

[@Maverick2843]

I want to call this model a master piece but that word isn't strong enough to describe it! WOW! Damn good job, man!!

[@BazzyPredPop]

This really is awesome and those pictures at the end just totally show it off and all its glory. It’s utterly utterly brilliant. Thank you so much.

[@antonvoloshin9833]

Man, this is just insane... This thing. THIS THING! It is so alive... Just an outstanding work!

[@strt6480]

Very impressive. In a movie it would be way more realistic than a CGI model. You must be really proud !

[@dirtydandinoman8902]

I love it! I'm 14 and I've been doing modeling since I was 12. I have 7 ww2 tanks. I watch your vids so I can improve and buy new materials to make my models look good. And, how does a man cover a tiger model in dust and descusting mud, but not get a single drop of paint or powder on his perfectly white workspace? I mean like, I literally mix my paints straight on my desk, and use superglue too.

[@602gaming]

I'm 13 and have been doing since I was 6. Nice to see another young modeller.

[@tiger-zr7se]

there is something called a dish, new paper, editing skills and tidiness.

[@majoriix]

My desk is an absolute mess, especially when i have to do PE. Also I'm 16 and have been modelling since 2014!

[@pelleschwarzberg8848]

I'm 15 and have been building for 5 months. I still have a lot to learn, but with uncle Night Shifts techniques they turn out decently well!

[@markfergerson2145]

I'm 67 and started modeling at 7 when texture products didn't exist, acrylics didn't exist, and only pro artists used airbrushes on cars and surfboards. All we had was Testor's enamel and paint brushes- if you wanted to do special effects you had to get really creative and that meant making some spectacular messes like grinding up real rust to apply with clear flat paint. It gets easier to get neater, is all. Don't sweat it, it comes slowly but naturally.

[@chrisfeldi]

I am now convinced you are 175 years old, build, drove and destroyed EVERY tank ever made. On every Continent. Period. Here is a new subscriber, your work is dope.

[@BrotherHoodMovies331]

I absolutely love this Model, call it wierd as much as you like I think it is incredibley satisfying to look at, and I cant wait to see the next thing on your bench.

[@Unda86]

One of the most beautiful models I've ever seen. Amazing.

[@chrisjordan4210]

Imagine pulling up to the valet service in that tiger - "I think we'll have to charge a little more for this one sir"😀

[@markfergerson2145]

Just don't ask them to detail it...

[@TwinIonEngines]

Man I own the Tamiya 1/16 scale RC Abrams tank I painted a year or so ago, and I've binge watched a ton of your videos, it just makes me want to strip her down and paint all over again. R I P XD

This Tiger is a work of art. Well done!

[@aaron2709]

It's great. I love the funky, unorthodox quality. Surprising how heavy the tank looks.

Honestly, this is my favourite model of yours. You did an absolutely incredible job with this, and I LOVE the mismatched camo. It looks lived-in, battle-worn and intensely practical, which I find is incredibly underrepresented in modelling. You have done an awesome job, and if you ever get sick of it you can post it my way 👌😉 I can't wait to see what you come up with next 😊

[@KillerCobra89]

Great video and great build, looks incredible. Truly inspiring tips you give which will be in my mind on my current build. Your tips saved a previous build of a KV-1 I started in 2018 and finished a year later (first time building for about 20 or so years at the time) as I went back to it and applied the things you showed and the improvements were night and day in comparison. So thank you for these videos and keep em up! I've sent links of your videos to friends who have started this hobby to give them the same inspiration you've given to me.
