Looks great and very menacing. How about a video?

Oooh! Nice job! I like the display case, too, with the light--somewhat reminiscent of the lights under the low riders that cruised the Long Beach barrio when I lived there in the 'eighties.
Ausgezeichnet!

Thank you guys!!
I guess I'll make a video soon. Haven't heard the V12 Maybach for quite some time anyway...

I'm not sure the neon under tank lighting is period correct for the King Tiger.
Looking good!

Melmondt,
That is a very nice KT!
Looks so cool cased and lite up! About like an aquarium, you could just stare at it for hours!
Cheers,
Eric.

So, I made a short video today.
And also some new pics.
Don't mind the weird focus/angle of the vid, it was my very first one.
I noticed that in terms of driving/sound synchronization/amount of smoke and a few other things there's still much room for improvement. But I guess it's rather normal for a model builder to overlook the things that turned out well and concentrate on the things that are still to improve...
By the way, the gun recoil is selfmade.
