New Year, New Video - kicking off 2024 with a "How To" Guide showing me adding Apoxie Sculpt zimmerit to Revell's 1/72nd Scale King Tiger, or Tiger II, using the Liang Model zimmerit roller tool featured in a previous review.

This video covers that but also the addition of other details on the model like weld seams, engine grills and tools/accessories - as well as how I integrated them into the construction and zimmerit application process.

If you don't know, zimmerit was an anti-magnetic mine paste, much like cement, that was applied in varying degrees of finish to World War Two German armour.

I hope it's useful and you enjoy it.

I mention the following films in the video.
