Glad to be a member here.
I’ve been working on a 1/16 Scale Henglong Tiger 1. I’ve been posting on local facebook group that has a lot of very knowledgeable and nice folks on it- Attachments

Welcome alone Mr Craftsman from the Gold Coast of Australia out of New Zealand.
I can claim to have visited Georgia, but I only got as far as Atlanta's massive airport..............and was hightailing it to the next terminal to make a connecting flight to P.a !!
You certainly look to be well on the way to a mighty Tiger. I notice the front mudguards , look to be a fair ole bit of creativity to get them in place

Welcome to the Forum MrOC,
Many of us cut our teeth on Heng Longs Tiger 1 although we do have the odd dour Scot who will blather and bemoan the very idea of the vehicle otherwise he is almost human,
Nice detail on the front fenders I found the hinges for mine in a Dolls house fittings site,
Keep up the detailing you will be followed by lots of us looking for tips
Enjoy this place and do ask questions and do join in on any subject that catches your attention,
We like doers as well as watcher's

Re: New Member from Georgia in the US
Hello and welcome from Argyll and Bute. I have no idea why Mr Jarndice thinks I’m dour?
Just because I have a dislike of Tigers, because there is just too many of them. Closely followed by a dislike of most WW2 stuff. It does not mean I do not appreciate the work some people put into their models.

Hi & welcome to the forum from the UK, interested Tiger you have there.
Re: New Member from Georgia in the US
Welcome to the forum. We've got some folks down in GA on the forum. Personally I can't help with any Tiger things as I don't own one, but hey it is what it is.

Many years ago....43 or there about to be exact I was in Geraldton West Australia when I was in the Navy. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit, we were there about 2 weeks. Was set to go to Sydney next but the ship was called away due to issues in the Persian Gulf.HERMAN BIX wrote: ↑Fri Jun 27, 2025 12:57 pm Welcome alone Mr Craftsman from the Gold Coast of Australia out of New Zealand.
