Nice interior and load of small gimmicks, but to be honest the paintjob isnt very well done....

Bonjour Jean! Bien que vous montrez votre modèle ici.
Please excuse that I am switching to english now.
Nice Tiger!👍 You did everything to achieve the look of a vehicle in use.
Obviously you painted your model with brush.
May I suggest to mix your colours thinner next time. That would avoid that all the brush strokes can be seen and that the paint becomes so thick that it swallows the fine details.
Another hint I would like give you: use less parts lying around on the hull and the turret of the vehicle. All those things would slide and roll around and fall off, when the tank moves. You would never see such a mess in reality.

Hi there !

Thanks for all your comments ! Yes the paint is too thick. I would have prefered use airbrush but I don't master the tool and painting with brush calm my nerves 🙂 anyway it's a model I build some years ago ! I have bought thinner since !!

As far as the stuff on the tank is concerned.. let say the scene represents the tiger stopped and beeing reassorted by people... liking carrots & tomatoes 🙂))) I assume, I like to put a lot of things on my model 🙂))

Enjoy day and Thanks again

We are all on the same journey of self improvement! The build and diorama are great but I think early on it is better to have less things to work on. I can see you worked hard - no problems with paintbrush but a couple of light undercoats would have helped with at least 12 hours between coats. Then you would not have tried to bend the will of the paint coat (I can still see the plastic underneath! Now cover! More paint lol!)
Many of us here have probably made the same moves!
I will use your interior build as an inspiration for myself when I build my 1/72 next year.
I invite you to watch the build! 🫡 👍

@ Ulf Petersen
You are so right my friend - but even many advanced modellers place loose equipment on the deck of vehicles - not everyone has served in a front line unit!
