Jack and Painless' Late War Tiger 1

Post by PainlessWolf »

Weather ( snow, high winds and cracking cold temps ) precludes an outdoors shoot today. This is temporary and the sun will soon return. I will follow up with an outdoors video then. Pics:

Lovin' the opened turret escape hatch!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

I'm a happy man. 8)

Good morning!,
Many thanks for the Kudos, Gentlemen! The tanks on the desk are the most current Builds. There are a couple of shelving units that support the rest of the 1/16 scale vehicles. I can see that I'm still learning 'How-tos' when I look at older 'top Drawer' type builds compared to the most recent efforts. I must be having Fun when knowledge is rubbing off on me like smears from wet paint and I don't even realize it *chuckles*
regards,
Painless

Lovely build Painless, love the ammo pouch and the opening hatch. Little details like that really make the model!

Good morning,
Tom! Thank you! The hatch was Jacks original upgrade. I came along and modified it with a different magnet setup to keep it extra secure in rough country going. ( like my North African front Lot ) I've been a fan of those gurt sacks for the cupola mount MG-34 since Paul introduced me to them some years back. There are all sorts of them available now, open and closed. We are lucky builders to have such a plethora of parts and different models of vehicles by different manufacturers available.
regards,
Painless

Another fantastic result, Painless; a real testament to both yours and Terry's hard work. The fine details, especially on the hatches and fittings are great.

You make it look easy!

This is really an fantastic mix, merge, and upgrade :thumb up:. Especially making all those hatches workable is amazing.
