I got around to painting the 1:100 scale Bergman Tiger II model I'd been mucking about with in Blender and printed on my elderly Ender 3 in eSun PLA+.

The number decal (from Skytrex, I think) on the starboard side didn't stick properly and came away on my finger; I had to kind of glue it back in position, and there's quite a bit of silvering as a result. I'll probably have to go in and paint over as much of the carrier film as I can manage.

Looks excellent.  Seeing this reminds me that I have a load of 15mm 1944/45 German vehicles to complete that a mate airbrushed for me.  Another project to add to the "to do" list. After that it will be the German infantry.

That's a rather nice looking Tigger. Well done!

Here it is alongside an injection-moulded Zvezda kit (left) of the same scale. I think it stands up pretty well, especially considering that it's a FDM print.
