Stew Dapple Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wow, those figures are really nicely sculpted - they don't include figures with all their 1/72 AFVs, do they? Looking forward to see how you get on with them mate Cheers, Stew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to see how you get on with them mate Cheers, Stew Hi Stew. Yes they are nicely done - now I've just got to make sure I don't obliterate it all with the paint! No you are quite right - unfortunately Dragon don't include figures with the majority of their kits. Thank you. Stix that is another beautiful cat in your garage! Absolutely amazing and i totaly love the rusty exhaust covering plates!!! Amazing, amazing! Hi Wolwe. Thank you very much for your kind comments. I have done a bit more painting on these but nothing worth taking photos of! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Now that this is pretty much complete I've posted some photos in the gallery. I still need to finish the Tiger Aces figures and then make a proper base for it and the King Tiger but, seeing how this GB is about the vehicles themselves, I thought I might as well get it in the Gallery. I've also taken a few photos of this Tiger 1 and King Tiger together on the temporary grass base. There's two here and two different ones posted in my King Tiger build thread. Well they were both fun to make! Kind regards, Stix 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Looking at you display of Tigers, i think you are now in a dire need for a Jagdtiger/Jagdpanther ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Looking at you display of Tigers, i think you are now in a dire need for a Jagdtiger/Jagdpanther ?Good afternoon Bernd. I think you're quite right - only thing is I've got to be able to find some at a reasonable price! I did manage a day out in Birmingham yesterday where there's a few good model shops and I managed to get some bargains - I'll probably post some details next week.I've now managed to get the Tiger Aces figures completed. Figure painting, especially in 1/72, is not really one of my strengths but at least they're done: I'll try and get some decent photos taken this weekend. Comments and suggestions welcome. Kind regards, Stix 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thank you Stew, Jon, Pawel, Nigel and Sean for your very kind comments. I have now added the aerials to all three of my Tiger builds. When I get chance I'll take a couple of photos to show this and the King Tiger's versions. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Excellent paint job on the crew. Not an easy task but with an impressive result, they look really good. Dragon kits in 1/72 are currently somewhat hard to find, it seems they are out of production for some time. The only kits i have found are mind blowing expensive. There is a company out, called S-Model, from China. Easy to build kits but with good detail, maybe worth a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another pair of beauties for the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
