In my castle....

If I remember correctly, this year it's 75 years since the Tiger I first saw combat, sooo....how about a year long unofficial Tiger I GB?

OK, here's my on-going Tiger build - in 1/16th scale.

Very nice Terry I have a 1/16 and a 1/32 but in display cases will try to take them out and get better photos

Nice Wayne. Thinking of getting into 1:48 armour once my aircraft stock is below a certain level. Several books on armour so if you need any references let me know

That surprises me Wojtek. Must be a tiny kit at that scale. I keep my aircraft at 1/48.

They produce some very nicely detailed kits in 1:48, I was very surprised. Also surprising are the detail sets that can be added...

Just a shame that so much 1/48th scale armour wasn't available 20 years ago - would have made dioramas easier and more manageable. I still have all the elements for a 1/35th scale diorama of 21st Pz. Div in Normandy, but the display base needed to be a t least four feet by two to make it even a compact display !

It is as big as the Bf 109E of the same scale. So not too small.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. I thought my 1/35 Tiger I was detailed until I started on the 1/16

Great stuff Wayne, but why isn't '332' stuck in a muddy hole ? It seems to be its favourite occupation !

Would't mind one of these babies ....
