Hi all,

Thanks Florian,
the next important fair is in September in Novegro, near Milan,
we also participate in smaller events,
but for the moment I don't have certain scheduled dates,
we'll organize them on the spot
Regards
Marco

All, looks like an incomplete King Tiger on the table. Could it be from FOA. The Plastic tracks could be the clue..

Amazing models- looks like a great show. The 1/4 tiger 1 is really impressive!
Thanks for the photos!

Hi Tom,
no it's not from FOA,
one of our group is making it,
in 3D printing,
he is making both the drawings and the 3D printed pieces,
I'm not very expert in 3D printing,
the hull is wire printed,
the tracks are printed in resin for now,
but he will remake them in a more robust material,
he wants to make the model with pieces that can easily be found in a "brico center"
Without using expensive parts,
the hull is printed in several pieces and joined with glue and screws.
HI
Marco

Hi Bob,
the tiger is made and designed by one of our group,
apart from a few aluminum pieces,
it is entirely made of steel,
the thicknesses of the sheet metal are simulated,
but it already weighs around 450 kg
Ciao
