Hi,

Just joined up.

I currently own 2 1/16 Tiger 1s. I'm also working on a few upgrades for my brother's 1 /16 King Tiger.

I look forward to reading your comments.

These show some of the battle damage I inflicted on it.

The Tank is still a work in progress... a bit more detailing to do.

I'm posted here in CFB Gagetown, New Brunswick. Your Tiger looks like it has seen every major battle :D The cam net job is great, i also didn't see it at first. Your backyard must be full of Allied Jabos's...

PPCLI in Gagetown..... Lil far away from home... aren't you?

Used to be a Royal in the reserves. Then joined the Regs and became an EO tech in the RCEME Corps.

Back yard is full of enemy squirrels.... that's why my other Tiger was not upgraded to an IR tank.... it can still shoot the lil rodents...lol

The cam net was is a piece of fabric which was first painted with the same base coat as the tank (light sand).. added some of the olive drab and brown.... I then took strands of colored wool and wove them into it.

I will take a close up picture.

Another project is to build the tank a bunker.

Yep, a little ways. The BN thought I could use a break after so many tours in the sandbox. They were wrong but it is a nice break for family life. You at DND HQs? Later...
