Title: My latest scale model - "Lucky 13" 1/35 Tiger I
Post by: NeufUnSix on September 07, 2008, 05:48:35 PM
This is my third model since I came out of "retirement" and the first armour piece I've done in 8 years. 1/35th scale German Tiger I E late production. It's entirely box-stock, the kit came with a bunch of detail bits like the working latches on the tools, a turned aluminum barrel, metal grilles, lots of goodies. If you are unfamiliar with this scale, it's about 9 inches long including the barrel.

I spent about six days working on this one. Fairly quick build. I find it easier to do armour than cars or motorcycles, no engine or interior to work on makes it a lot faster.

But my next project... Won't be so quick:

I got out of building models after high school... your stuff makes me realise my kung fu is weak, and I should stick to things I know, like...

drinking...

and... CAD piloting...

oh, and breaking stuff.

;D

Excellent build!  I like to build warships & ocean liners.  Currently, I've got an 1/350 IJN Yamata, 1/125 Fletcher Class Destroyer, 1/350 SS United States, and a 1/400 HMS Titanic

I built a few aircraft back in the day. ME 109 was my favourite subject, I also built a few FW-190s and the Heinkel Salamander jet. I also recall a rocket propelled interceptor glider, I forget the name. That being said I never really enjoyed aircraft as much as armour, I don't think I'll be building any this time around.

awesome. i got myself a small compressor and airbrush a couple years ago, simply because a pal of mine was doing work similar (but not as nice) to yours.

of course, i am sh*te at it, but i do HAVE an airbrush.

cars are my thing, old F1 and sportscars.

Nice work, I somehow now feel inferior to a guy who spends his free time playing with minitures....
