Holy Macaroni! Pure craftmanship!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

This is not model making. It is miniature engineering of the highest order. Apart from saying that, I am lost for words.

Simply breathtaking... :O :O
A question, oh great Hephaestus (you greek God of metalworking and smithing)..how do you bind the main plates together? I see the mortise and tenon stile joints, and they're almost certainly a precise interference fit; but do you also use bolts, pins and resins to bind them? If so, I can't see them :O
Feeling very, very humble. :|
