Building a monster!

Here is the latest project, Trumpeter's Geschutzwagen Tiger fur 17cm Kanone 72. It's 1/35th scale and is huge. The only additions so far are a few bolts from plastic a metal barrel and superb muzzle from RB models and an application of Mr Surfacer 500 on the hull to replicate the steel texture.
As this was a xmas present from the wife I thought it was high time to build it, plus it frees up quite a large space under the bench!
