Tribute to my cat

Album info
It's a fantasy Tiger I, so don't look for accuracy!
My cat is a crazy one and we called him Ozzy, because we were listening to a Black Sabbath song as we were coming back from the animal shelter.
And, yes, he kills birds, too..!
This is a 1/35 Tamiya kit of a mid-production Tiger. It's meant to be set on the summer of '43, so it should be an early production type, but I only had this one available at the moment.
And, anyway, it's a fantasy..!
So I tried to recreate the spots of Ozzy's belly, using red brown and Dunkelgelb paints. I also tried to show the tank covered in dust and "tchernoziom" - "black earth" from southern Russia - as it would have looked like after a summer rain in Ukraine or around Rostov area.
Obviously, I'm not happy with the figures. First, I focused on the poses and the small cat. Second, I tried to paint them with Xpress/Contrast paints... and it didn't get the effect I was looking for.
Faces were my first attempt to paint visible ones, not hidden behind scarves and binoculars or winter goggles..!! Haha!
