So what's next Richy...another Tiger variant?

ALPHA

Hmmmmm Im thinking about another tank but something a little different, not sure what though

Sometimes that's the hardest thing.... play with this one...it might help stir the juices of inspiration...There's a lot of pride in this one so it might take awhile

ALPHA

Yeah I need to get out and take some more pics for you guys. maybe in a forest nearby

I said before I really like the look of the 1/6th now that would be interesting, A nice project for the winter although Ive driven a 1/8th and that was a monster

1/6th is too big for me lol.... for some reason I feel that's a scale that will punish me lol....The nice ones weigh in the neighborhood of 200 lbs or so...not to easy moving it around to work on it..... they are very nice though... John F's Panzer IV and Tigers are simply put... works of art

It cost more???????????????? ....That is about the going rate for a Taigen

ALPHA

Lol I had to buy the metal tracks/wheels and idlers.

Was it used???????????????????? ... I might be mistaken... but I think Taigens low and high end come with the metal tracks

Taigen make a full plastic Tiger I(this is the basis of my Early Tiger), a version with the metal chassis and gearboxes but plastic weeks and tracks(this is the basis of my Late Tiger), and then there is the full metal version with metal running gear and tracks as well.

My guess is that Rich has the middle one of the three.

Your correct paul. Mine had the metal chassis and gearbox so mid level. Thanks for clearing that up . I was getting a bit worried lol.
