Hi All,
Thought I'd post a few pics of a Tiger made available here for sale on the Forum and now residing in my tank depot in the US. Thanks Tim! Thor is the creation of Ian Barraclough, a serious model builder and, as far as I'm aware, first appeared in 2007 on Missing Lynx as a partial build and later as a completed model. I don't know of Thor's travels since, but he had taken a few knocks, nothing fatal, but now, with a few repairs and re-attachments, looks pretty much the way he did in his prime. In his fully working days, he had a very impressive electronics display, but I haven't had much opportunity to see whether he's in full running form though everything seems to be present.
Thor came with a great looking tank commander whose detail has to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated. My camera skills leave a lot to be desired and the detail is lost. There is also a great looking loader with beautifully crafted desert boots but a broken arm and missing hand. I will have to seek help here to see what can be done to bring him to full duty status as I know less than nothing how to help him.
Here are the pics. Again, I apologize for their quality. A click on the picture will enlarge it. Hope you like them. Excuse the erratic order order of the pics. I don't quite have the hang of posting them yet.
TIGER THOR S.Pz.Abt 501
