This was a close one! I congratulate both of you! Thank you for entering: for me the fun is in seeing the great work you do.
Jnewboy: that is the dustiest dust! And the tracks are perfectly matched in packed dirt.
Herman Bix: the B&W photos are a great idea! And those figures work so well!

WOW! Thanks everyone! On my tanks I focus on their appearance almost exclusively. That may work great for the camera but I know that the internal RC workings are almost always stock. I do very little driving time on my tanks and I started on these tanks as a way to develop a large scale model collection. I spent my youth building 1/35 armor and 1/48 & 1/32 aircraft. I was always amazed at looking at the size of the 1/16 Tamyia boxes and wanting to build a tank that big! Eventually I could afford one and then another but the hobby became expensive and so I would sell my work to buy more and supplies. Hundreds of models later and here I am. Since this Tiger I have finished a KV-1 and a KingTiger, Ill try to get pics in the show off soon.

Great Job Herman Bix! I have done one of those Matorro Jagdtigers and they are not easy!

Thanks Everyone!
