Andy's 1/16 Tiger I early 3/8 Paused

[deafpanzer]

Good lord! It looks so huge and now I want one too. I don't think my wife will approve this one. I'd love to see your hand on top of it next time so I can show my wife this!

[lyle]

Lordy, that’s big.

[dupes]

These comparison shots vs "regular size" armor kits make me laugh out loud.

[TOWGunner]

This is a fantastic build Tony! I have one of these in the stash but haven't carved out a chunk of time to do it yet. I'll be watching this - yours is coming along excellent.

Been working on the air cleaners,the exhausts and hoses,and stuff going on the rear plate,also added some small bits along the way.I also jumped and did the main gun,the front most barrel is metal,while the two bigger pieces closer to the mantles had to be assembled and the big seams cleaned up,yes that is a 1/35 Tunisian Tiger,the comparison shots just continue to amaze me.

[dupes]

I was like, "oh shoot, he's almost done!".

Then I saw the gun barrel next to the 1/35 Tiger. Hahahaha

Yeah it's a big cat......big is good!

[dodgy]

Great start Tojo, it's going to be a very impressive build.

[keavdog]

Man... what if we get hooked on this monster scale
Looking good Tony

[Joe Rix]

Really good looking progress. The texturing on the exhaust is a nice touch and looks good.

[Tojo72]

Really enjoying this kit now,it's Tamiya quality ease of assembly.i started to paint the hull,but it was a real PITA trying to airbrush with my .35 needle,so I ordered some spray cans of Tamiya TS-3,internet says its a match to XF-60, and it's going to under a chipped whitewash anyway.Im also not going to paint the inside of the turret except for the cupola,once the figures in,you can't see inside anyway.I plan to work till 3/1 then do something else as a change of pace.Thanks for checking in.

Tojo - WOW that is huge. You may need to register that at motor vehicle. Build looks beautiful buddy. Cant wait to see the paint work.

Crikey Tojo, this kitty is going to be some cat. Lovely work.

[mrt51]

[kyledehart5]

Careful!

[moparmadness]

The rattle cans are a good choice here! Probably need 2 or 3 bottles otherwise!

[Tojo72]

Here's where I'm at right now,my next step will be the whitewash and the hairspray chipping.I am going to put this aside for now,I've been on it for two months and need a break and to work on something else,but thanks for following.

[handiabled]

Your progress looks great! I really like the detail on this like on the open hatch covers. Understandable to take a step back and take a fresh look at it later. I'll be standing by for this one to make it's "big" return.

[chromdome35]

You have a beautiful build going here Tony. I totally understand the need to take a break and do something else.

[armornutii]

   This is the exact reason I set the GB up to run for so long, you can take a break, recharge the mojo batteries, find the insperation, and NOT goof something up on such an expensive subject. We'll be waiting for your return, meanwhile watching what else you will grace us with.

Yeah I don't normally do that,I only did it with the Hasegawa Akagi,no problems with this just need a change of pace.

[Steve Zuleski]

Man, the comparison is astounding, the size is impressive. Great build Tony, get back at it when your ready!

[dodgy]

Lovely work mate. Fully understand why you're putting it aside for a while, but I'm sure we'll all be watching for the next instalment. 

[Real G]

We'll be waiting...
