Been doing lots of other projects over the years, but I feel like I'll be getting back to this one to bring it to the edge. I've a real itch to complete it.

My hobby bench has been covered in a mess, unusable for a long time. I've taken to cleaning and sorting everything and I'm almost back to an empty table. Hope I can shake the rust off asap.
You've got to finish it! You level of detail is simply phenomenal and truly inspirational! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a static Tamiya Tiger I and your work will be a guide post once I start it. :clap: :clap:
I might have missed it; who's scale hardware do you use?

Welcome back, Doc! I've been building Tigers while you were gone using your build as a guide among others. You need to finish it to show how it is done. ;o)

SOV for years you and "Tanks for the Memory" were the backbone of Tiger builds on the Forum and I know I am not alone in saying I learnt most of what I now put into practice from both of your offerings, so yes you have to complete this particular tour de force, PLEASE :clap:

I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Holy cow, what a response, lol. Glad to see so many cheering for me, I'm quite excited to see everyone's progress since I last looked around.

Two springs ago I fulfilled a dream and switched to building a 1:1 scale WW2 vehicle that I've been having fun with. Bet some of you in the UK will recognize what it is. Different skill set than building a model though. :haha:


Been painting some mini figures for a board game too. Really excited to gather my model bits and get the Tiger back out again. Covered in dust, gotta clean it all first, lol. You guys are certainly amazing inspiration to get it going!
