Well guys, I present you my new love and joy. Tiger I, this project took me 4 months and 4 days to be exact. Enjoy!

One word: Amazing

Another word: Beautiful

I started out building 1:35 scale WWII military dioramas with my father as a kid,
and I still have a fondness for them. Tiger, King Tiger, Panzer, Sherman,
Kubelwagen, Thing (vehicle), 88mm Cannon, + tons of troops created over
a period of years. Brings back fond memories.

What scale is your Tiger, and the other figures and vehicles you have?

For me, bigger is better now. I'd love something 2-3 times the size of 1:35th,
just for the added detail and realism that could be achieved.

Thank you for the input. This is in 1/6 scale, all the figures displayed with it are in 1/6 scale. Thanks again!

Superb feel like Ive just watched a movie - some fantastic insights into why these things look as superb as they do.

Have to congratulate you on the scale of artistry that goes into something like that

I commend you on your talent, patience, and the time it took to achieve
such a fine and realistic result in your Tiger 1 Tank. I'd love to see it in a
diorama with full troops around it, in a burned out city corner or squaring off
against a Sherman Tank or US troops in some fashion.

1:6th - Wow - that is now officially absolutely perfect.

With the selection of figures available to you, you should be able to make
an infinite number of scenes and dioramas. Very smart. Couldn't be better.

I believe you have an award winner there. Going to enter it into any competitions?

Thank you for that. Competitions? why not?

Here's a couple more pictures:

Nicest group of complementary figures for a scene/diorama that I've ever seen.

Curious - How long is that tank when fully assembled, and where are WWII
military vehicles of that scale available? All I've ever seen are the 1:35th
scale Tamiya items, but I've never really looked for anything except them.

Wow amazing .... I've built a couple of 1/16 King Tigers before but not to that level ( so I know what a pain in the *** those wheels are to paint and put together) and love the panzer trooper at the end awesone! Superb detailing though I thought the tank was a bit too heavily rusted for my taste looks more like a relic rather than an operational tank ( but hey put in the Eastern front for a couple of years and that will probably do it)

Amazing!!!!

You sir are a genius.

This piece belongs in a museum or a War memorial. Compared to some of the diaromas that I have seen in the Australian Museum or Australian War Memorial, your work blows them away (excuse the pun)

I swear I was looking at real photos of a tank. The paint detail in even the work tools is amazing.

Again, well done.

Cheers
