The figure decals are doable, even without a cutting pattern to guide you.
I winged it which left gaps, but they lay down so well that I was able to fix that with a bit of paint.
Throw away nothing, even the tiniest piece, until you are done.
BTW, when I folded over a pad I put it on anyway, then carefully folded another to match up and make a whole pad
Sure I did

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: Titan's Octopus Tiger
Well after nearly a week away from this I made a mad dash yesterday and today to get more of it done and hopefully get it completed before the end date.
Exhausts added and rusted.
I have added the tools and nearly finished the commander. Some light weathering has been done and I also started to fade the camo a bit though it will be getting a spraying all over with some `dust`so that will naturally add some more fading to it and blend it together.
The spare tracks will need to be rusted a bit more and then a bit of brown black post shading along the joins which should see the tank completed.
The soldier has also been started so if everything goes ok with the decals should then see my GB finished...
Here is a teaser of how I left it today.
Regards
Mark

Re: Titan's Octopus Tiger
Thanks Jeff, the tank is now finished and I am going to call it done. The figures still need some work doing to them but I am not going to get enough time over the next couple of days to finish them, these are superfluous to the build any how but I have taken a couple of pictures of them on the tank just for the sake of completeness.

Thanks all for looking in it been a fantastic GB
This kit was great to build if over engineered in places and I was very pleased with how the decals performed.

Re: Titan's Octopus Tiger ***FINISHED***
That is exceptional; the figures give it the true sense of mahooosiveness and the paintwork is beautifully flat (as in dull, but in a nice way....) and the whole thing just broods.
Best wishes
