Besides the allied armor I have quite a few German Tigers and Jagdtigers commission models on the bench.These pics are not very recent so I will try to take newer pics and post them up. First up is the Jagdtiger porsche version.  A Tiger I later/command version  Two more JT's, this time Henschel versions. These will be with marking X1 & X8.   |

Thanks fellas.
I finished all the resin Zimm for the Tiger I. Nice fit and looks great when on.
The Jagdtiger (P) got some needed bench time this evening and most of the small parts are now on. I am not looking forward to doing the tracks. The other two JT's will get Fruils instead of the magic tracks.
Once these four are close to the priming stage I'll start on a RSO with 2cm Flak....a comm build.

Nice Kitty's, good luck on the tracks. The JT Porsche tracks are a real pain but the end result is great!

Germany's production line being revived? If you want to be really accurate... hang a few hundred B-17 models for your ceiling over the bench  Lookin' good. |

Thanks for the great feedback fellas, much appreciated. So far no burn out. I like doing the JT and have built quite a few since they were first released many years ago. I think with these three I have done about 6 or 7 as commission builds, and a few for myself. Couple of updated pics.. The JT (P) tracks are not going to be fun to do but like Elco said, they do look good when done right.   |

Thats what you call a busy bench great work so far Rob do you find it difficult working on more then 1 subject at a time? keep up the hard work Dan B |

Andy, no beer while working, save that for after.
Dan, not really. I have been doing it this way for over 12 years. About the time I started commission work for three people back in Germany. It also keeps me from losing interest when doing just one subject.
