Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
Way cool Dan, excellent recoil action and the blast is killer. The paint work seems changed or maybe it is the outdoor lighting but it seems more of a matte finish in this light. How well did the KT preform in the three foot of snow? Sax
Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
Winter Camo (since it's all snow here in Minnesota for the next 3-4 months....)
Added temporary "whitewash" with Crayola washable poster paint. Pictures and video attached.
Heres' my story on the camo job....
"...with freezing hands we swabbed on the thin, almost frozen whitewash with brooms, brush and rags...had little energy and little time to do the job...on the move even farther east..."

Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
WOW,that really looks great Dan. Diffidently a winter King Tiger. Does have that field applied look.How does it handle in the snow? Have you considered adding weight? Really need to follow your example but we have a total of 5" of snow this winter,that's it. Back to wet rain which really is no fun for tanks.
Have to say Dan you have done an excellent job,and for a first tank awesome. Saxondog

Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
dan KT looks great and i love the firing. take it it is a one shot deal then you have to reload the gun? thinking of getting a jagdpanther in the near future and that would make a great addition. jeff

Brilliant work there lots of great ideas and engineering ! Keep up the good work!!! If you don't mind my asking were are you south or north regards Gary.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning!
Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
Great modifications there, not sure we would get away with black powder mods in the UK though. The authorities would not tolerate hordes of model tanks driving through the city streets 'smokin and a flamin', they would think that there was some kind of armed insurrection going on!

Re: King Tiger with Firing Cannon
Great Video shots.
Your explanation of how you did it, first class.
I too build model boats and once saw a club member use black powder in his warships guns, (not too reliable).
Definitely not as impressive as your KT.
