Hi Everybody,
I took some pictures of my Panzer VI Tiger Tank this weekend after applying a
couple of decals. There are still a number of features yet to be completed -
there needs to be more equipment, rope, etc. affixed to the outside, and the
interior isn't finished yet. But the exterior is all done:

The chassis has two functional hatches, and the turret has three. The turret
also has 360 degree rotation, and the gun can elevate about +/- 15 degrees.
Oh, and the treads work :)
My main complaint with the result is that the turret came out a bit wide and
high. I could make it smaller, but I think doing so would compromise
the signature horseshoe shape. Ahh well :P
The stark white coloration is a significant departure from the usual greytones
... sadly, my supply of grey is nearly exhausted, so I opted for the
winter-camoflauge scheme. It seems this Tiger is deployed on the Eastern
front, that's all!
Anyway, feedback is always welcome ... let me know what you think!
Thanks for looking,
Shaun

| Wow Shaun, This is really something, It is really detailed, and I love all of the SNOT, drooooool, mmmmmmm, such cool shapes too. What do you use for your decals? I saw some decal paper at staples, but I dunno if that's what I want. Great work I (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.military)
