The 1/6 Tiger that is painted now lives in France the 1/6 Tiger that is in the building stage may be finished for Feb 09
The name Rivetcounter came about when I was building the 1/16 Late Tiger 1 with the Aber kit most people wouldn't have gone to the trouble I did especially as there where no parts available for a late Tiger when it was built, I enjoy researching my builds and try my hardest to get them as close to the real thing as possible

When I first started modeling AFV's, (25yrs ago) the hunt to find reference material was a hobby in itself.
The more you know about the vehicle you are modeling the more it seems to belong to you. like a good friend, and now that apart from looking good they can also move on there own.,it has taken the hobby to another level. You do great work, keep it up.

The true reason Rivet counter is called rivet counter
The storage bins on a Tiger 1 are partly riveted together, Rivet counted and measured the rivets and thier spacing and guess what they are exactly right on his 1/6th tiger.
