1/4 King Tiger THE BEAST

Post by hatakashi »

Just replaced few of the tank's suspension springs and took it out for a spin plus videoing and photographing

Took 2 short clips today and combined into one youtube video, it's part of the preparation for the 8mins long featured "film" I've been planning to make

Hi Atakashi
The reason I said it was it looks so real your tank that is not the figure ;) , all fun said,
did you buy it all ready built like it is or did you rebuild to your spec, I think its one of the best I've
seen right down to the mess tin :clap: :clap: .

It's already built with basic stuff when I got it and added all the rest to my tank over the years, as you can say it has many many scars and "battle damages"

Hi hatakashi
The battle damage looks great you must have put a lot of time and effort into it to get it to that standard
every time I look at your photos I notice other detales like the tracks and wheels they look so realistic its
hard sometimes to think of it as a model.

Thanks Gerwyn for your comment most of the weathering and damages you see on the tank are actually real, all "done" during my years of running it outside and into all sorts of terrain, natural weathering is the best weathering if you ask me heheheee

Hi hatakashi
Your right natural weathering is better than any one can paint, so this is must be a all metal tank,
??? what is the weight of it, what gears are fitted, what scale is it.

Hi Hatakashi
Thats one big tank you have Mate and you have the power to pull it :thumbup: , I'm not at this level
mine is the bog standard HL Tiger 1 no s/f :'( , I worked on it to get it running and painted
the camo and I think it looks OK until I see what others have done to theirs :{ , I bought a
1/18 german figure today thought I would see what it looks like sitting on the tank but
the wife as hid it from me :'( :'( .
