Building a full metal Tiger
Building a full metal Tiger
Hello. Has anyone made one of these successfully? I have the bottom hull, turret, gears, wheels and tracks, just waiting on the main top piece for the turret to mount on.

Re: Building a full metal Tiger
I have the full metal rear hull on the one I am bashing together at the moment, I wasn't sure about the metal upper hull, seems it would be tough to correct the errors, easier to grind down plastic? Post some photos

Re: Building a full metal Tiger
Hi. I will take some pictures tomorrow. I have enjoyed it so far, I should have taken pics from the start really. I have the Mato metal upper hull and I have had to make adjustments to it to get it to fit, and more are needed. I will see what I can post tomorrow.Markocaster wrote:I have the full metal rear hull on the one I am bashing together at the moment, I wasn't sure about the metal upper hull, seems it would be tough to correct the errors, easier to grind down plastic?

It says the file is too big to upload, and that is just the first photo. How do I get around this problem?

Rusty, try a web photo upload site like
Photobucket.com it's free and they compress the images for the web and give you the proper code to insert it into the forum
