I agree with the nomination. Anyone who knocks this one better be keen to step up & build their respective ass off .
What really impresses me is the fact that this has been taken appart from a finished build, altered, and then match painted to be as good/better than it was before................& that was pretty damn good to begin with.

I feel there are a few recent builds that deserve the master class build nomination , that have indeed gone through the cracks, but these should be bought up again to take votes & assume rightful place in the Master Class hall.

For me, Mr Hugills Tiger. Whichever one- depends on how lazy he's feeling !!!!!

When its done , Mr Wobbly's ARRV

Mr Fyns FURY, and relevant commander, for sale or not.

And I will put out there barring any disasters, Mr Zulls Tiger.

And, of course, again barring any disasters, Mr 'For the Memory's Tiger.

Several from Mr Chris 3 still unfinished

The hobby is in good hands & the cream can be seen to rise to the top.

Seriously guys, 100% agreement. This thread is chock FULL of great information to follow and the end result looks great.

Like Mr. Bix said, this was a rebuild too! This is one special kitty, the guts are above and beyond alone!

For me, not master class, but how about decent for a noob class? :haha:

Derek's Tiger was one of my favs too and one to watch, though he hasn't been able to work on it much for awhile.

Let me make my way over to master-class to vote.

And Herman is correct, some that probably deserve it may have slipped through the cracks. I can think of a few that deserve a look at.

After a two years break some news to my Tiger 1. For these two years was my Tiger without commander; this must be now changed.

My Tiger is from the LAH, that's why receive my commander a suit for SS tank crews in oak leave pattern summer; suitable to my title - June 44. A suitable figure was still present, but some adjustments were required.

Image

That’s why again many arm fractures, which were fixed with wire.

Image

My commander was fastened in the cupola.

Image

After all adjustments were the defects with Apoxie Sculpt repaired.

Image

Image

Image

Thereafter were the hands adjusted; especially the position of the fingers and a thumb must be build new.

Image

Here the temporary result.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

My commander receives a little pin at the underside. So he has every time the same position, an inner neodym magnet holds him.

Image

Image

Image

Next time it goes on with painting…
