1/10 King Tiger build.
Got a few pics here and will ad to very soon.
I hadn't printed since before the Xmas break so some slicer work was neccessary as you can see.
Prints are better but always looking for better than better right.
I'll keep adding to imgur if that's the right option here as my phone pics I can only get if I email myself then I can post up , yes I am a gumby type.
Anyways hope you guys like it and I am open to all help and idea's to print better.
If you all know of 1/10 scale metal tracks/parts for the King Tiger please let me know.

Re: 1/10 King Tiger build.
best bet would be German sites, as that scale is quite popular over there. Be prepared for some eye watering prices however, the Germans don't do things on the cheap like the English speaking world insists on doing - they will quite cheerfully pay 3 grand for something that was properly engineered, where as most folks here would turn their noses up at it even if was on offer for less than 1k...

Yup well German engineering is a thing right ,so yea that's how they roll. I will continue my search for metal tracks in Germany.Tiger6 wrote:best bet would be German sites, as that scale is quite popular over there.

Re: 1/10 King Tiger build.
This build is on hold/slow as I've just bought a Dragon Sherman in 1/6.
I will print bits from time to time but I've had some issues with my printer and I am upgrading it to a non bowden tube printer and a few other upgrades.
So yes build is in a go slow phase or sell off the lower hull and bits phase as I'm going big. lol.

It's been a while. It's not small the chassis she's 74cm long, she'll be just over a meter with the 88.

Re: 1/10 King Tiger build.
Yes these are mostly Lubos's STL's. This is on the back burner as I've got too many projects on go at the same time.
I am making my own files now so very soon I will be building my own models.
Cheers .
