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.

It's just not the same without the canadian penny.
you build some damn fine models!
[thumbsup]
Impressive
You got some skillz [thumbsup]
My first job was in a Hobby store so I use to build models but they all came out looking like the Ertl snap together models :-\
Nice. [thumbsup] Now build the one that put it out of its misery. ;)

I really like the dirt on the wheels. [thumbsup]
R/C - engine working - built in loudspeaker with authentic noise + + ?
What a disappointment. Its all dirty and scratched up.
J/K Amazing job! The detail is unbelievable. Those shovels look real.
pew pew pew
very nice. [thumbsup]
stunning work, how long does it take?
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:

he will be worshipped... like a god!

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
Nice choice. The German Tiger is/was a badass tank [thumbsup]
Great work on the model. Now let's see an Me-262

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.

ME 163? the komet...
I've had a Steve Kinser Sprintcar (model) sitting in my garage for about 10 years and it was/is a make the beast with two backsen pregnant dog to build!
Can I send it to you to build? :-\
[cheeky]
Sweet! [thumbsup]
Nice work, I somehow now feel inferior to a guy who spends his free time playing with minitures....
