It moves on slowly, the front is a busy place on Bergetiger/Bergepanzer.

It's amazing how the white cotton vest is such an iconic look for the all action superstar.
Hugh Jackman, Ryan Renolds, Phil Woollard, Bruce Willis.
This picture could even be an out take from Arnold Schwazenegger's Raw Deal.
For me if someone's got an SMG, I'd much prefer a ballistic vest or not be there
Was it a HK Phil?

Hi JC, yes HKMP5K 9mm. The example I was using allowed the brief case to be discarded, you carried it in the left hand with the barrel facing to the rear, it was pre cocked, set to fully automatic with the safety off! When a threat was identified, you dump the case by squeezing the handle, lift and rotate your arm so the rear of the weapon rests against your sternum, at the same time your right hand grabs the pistol grip and away you go with 2 short bursts. To begin with it feels awkward but you got used to it.

Starting to get weird. The HK is real a cinematic icon used by the Villains and Police alike.
Films depicting similar covert adaptions, machine guns and RPG in guitar cases (Desperado), and a neat Mach 10 in a lunch box looking package (Robocop). But all look a bit awkward.
Enjoying the Tiger conversion, is this going to be a static model or full "blown" R/C.

The Bergetiger will be a fully functioning towing and recovery vehicle, the winch is only good for 1.5 to 2 tons but will come in handy for some planned diorama's to include the Faun, 331 ( the range wreck double ) and Tiger 331 ( the new one) with loads of new pyrotechnic effects, roll on the summer!

More weld seams to the rear and the pannier fillets, I love this work.
Thought of the day, "I really don't want to buy a mattress topper, with octasprings or without bl..dy octasprings!"

So who managed to buy the old Tiger1 from eBay today?

It's the Tiger bible Chang the book that you just can't buy!
Simon the printed inner engine hatch detail in pla may not suit some but as it's fully supported by the steel hatch it's great , it does take 15hrs to print though!
