TIGER 1

[GCB]

Hello all and Merry Christmas...
So, after planes< i decided to try something new and went for the Tiger 1 on 1/16 scale from Hobby Boss....
Big piece and while the assembly was not difficult, it required some modifications to be assembled.. and the worst were the tracks: 98 links on each side, every one made of 2 pieces to cut, sand, glue and then attached together with a steel shaft. Long hours of work...
then paining and I tried a winter camo (even if there were not many made like this) and then mud.....
So, here is the beast...

It turned out quite nice.

Very nice! It looks right at home on its base.

Thanks.. I tried to do the prints of the tracks on the mud but without success.. next one!

Are you going to motorize it?

I thought about it but so much mud and pigments on the tracks that it will be a mess... so not on this one
