I’ve been working on a 1/16 Scale Henglong Tiger 1. I’ve been posting on local facebook group that has a lot of very knowledgeable and nice folks on it

Welcome alone Mr Craftsman from the Gold Coast of Australia out of New Zealand.
I can claim to have visited Georgia, but I only got as far as Atlanta's massive airport..............and was hightailing it to the next terminal to make a connecting flight to P.a !!

You certainly look to be well on the way to a mighty Tiger. I notice the front mudguards , look to be a fair ole bit of creativity to get them in place ;)

Welcome to the Forum MrOC, :thumbup: :wave: :clap:
Many of us cut our teeth on Heng Longs Tiger 1 although we do have the odd dour Scot who will blather and bemoan the very idea of the vehicle otherwise he is almost human,
Nice detail on the front fenders I found the hinges for mine in a Dolls house fittings site,
Keep up the detailing you will be followed by lots of us looking for tips :thumbup:
Enjoy this place and do ask questions and do join in on any subject that catches your attention,
We like doers as well as watcher's :lolno:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute. I have no idea why Mr Jarndice thinks I’m dour? :think:
Just because I have a dislike of Tigers, because there is just too many of them. Closely followed by a dislike of most WW2 stuff. It does not mean I do not appreciate the work some people put into their models.

Welcome to the forum. We've got some folks down in GA on the forum. Personally I can't help with any Tiger things as I don't own one, but hey it is what it is.

Many years ago....43 or there about to be exact I was in Geraldton West Australia when I was in the Navy. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, we were there about 2 weeks. Was set to go to Sydney next but the ship was called away due to issues in the Persian Gulf.
