I'm not even an armor guy and I love the tiger.

You do incredible work. The attention to detail is amazing.

Very nice man...I wish I could afford your stuff. You need to hook up with Skyworks to "mass produce" some custom armor. :wink:

Hun, Very Nice! Doing an early Tiger means you don't have to remove the Smoke/ Grenade Dischargers from the turret. :wink: Oh and I see you've got the S mine dischargers on the hull.
Did you cast the wheels or are they from the FOV Tiger? Very Cool looking...an 88 and some DAK figures and you'll have a great diorama going on. 8)

Thanks, :D I did cast some wheels off the FOV tiger, and decided it was to much work, so what the hell--and took hammer to the fov and used the wheels for this one, It was a pain in the butt, But i was able to make it work and they still roll just fine.

Beautiful work! :D You may want to remove the turret ring guard though. That was a feature of Late Tigers.
