Man - I would paint it! That Tiger will roar to life even more if you paint it. I know the feelings of leaving it unpainted but man. That will look really, no Really good painted.
Just my 2 cents, fun to look at either way.

I'll see Slodder's "Holy Cow" and raise him a "Whoa!" That is some incredibly incredible detail work.

You already know my opinion Lee, but just so everyone else knows this is the best detailing I have ever seen. Count me on the side of painting.

I too love to detail interiors but even with my enflated ego, I could not boast having detailed an interior like yours. It is absolutely marvelous. I am for leaving it unpainted as you can see the detail much better that way. If you do decide to paint it however, be sure to use the Fingerprint Designs interior stencils

Yeah then It makes sense that you can paint it if you have a couple of subassemblies otherwise it would be kind of hard job to give the cat color :-)
I was quite quiet when I saw the first batch of pics and I reached a state under silence when seeing this update of the beast... My god that`s some outstanding detail.. you are still together with your wife :-) I think it`s too bad that you are boxing her up for a while and I hope that will not be too long
Great Job and I definately want to see more of it

You have created a masterpiece. And in 1/35th scale... WOW. Please keep us up to date with new pics. I cannot wait to see the finished product, painted or not.
Just amazing work.

To ease this discussion, here's a picture of this incredible project ! Most techniques are in scratchbuilding 101, but it takes a steady hand, a keen eye, lots of patience and years of experience to do something like this. Most of us have met our master here :
