A.R.1989 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Evening all. Sorry I havenāt added any update on my Tiger.Ā I have finally had some bench time and managed to get the diorama for my mid-tiger up to about 90%Ā done. Try to imagine a small lapse in fighting in Ukraine,Ā during theĀ muddy and green spring of 1944 following the winter thaw.Ā Ā I hope you approve of the work so far. The figures appear shiny but I can assure you itās just the light. Thanks for looking.Ā Ā Ā Ā Edited February 14, 2021 by A.R.1989 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just gearing up now as the M10 draws to a conclusionĀ Ā Big shout out to Zack @ZackĀ for answering my call on the Tiger 1 Mid, totally a top guy indeed. As mentioned the M10 will get finished first and then the CH Tiger 1 goes into build as the command version, as an ex bleep I can't let this one go so it has to be done.Ā Ā More bits to add as I don't like the DS tracks so I might throw some fruils or some MK tracks at this one. I have both the lastĀ and earlyĀ tracks so a bit of research needs doing but I think i right in thinking that both will fit in terms of years. Late tracks also lost the ice cleatsĀ quite quick in service anyway.Ā I'll use the newer Tamiya crew figs with good ol Hornet heads fitted.Ā Ā Ā Ā Coming soonĀ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
