I recently built and designed my 1/8 scale Bovington TIGER 131 which was built completely from hobby and art crafting materials and some hardware nick nacks, I started the project last sept 20th and completed her fully painted on oct 20th Now on to the fine details and airbrushing, XDXDXD stay tuned!
Just so everyone knows the 1/8 TIGER 131 IS A STATIC MODEL, I'm also building the Sherman Firefly and Russian KV1 in 1/8 STATIC presence. IVE ALWAYS BEEN A MODEL MAKER/ARTIST AT HEART, now increasing THE SCALE!! a bit LOL,
My regards
MARK,

Great collection. Any chance of some close ups of the bigger Tiger as she looks a beauty.

I think he wants one his size
More pictures please,how did you construct the tracks? That is the main problem with most large scale builds.

NO this 1/8 scale tank is purely STATIC! Just built it in appreciation of the 131, I will keep building 1/8 scale until i understand the full structural process it my craft, then sometime it the future, ill build a full functional 1/6 TIGER!! But for now shes quite a looker for a static model piece for my DEN!!! =) its all a fun and slow process, i enjoy every second of it.Steenv wrote:look forward to see the pictures.
