The Official Armortek Forum - World leader in one sixth scale metal kits

Hi everybody,
Just got a late Tiger 1 with motion, sound, smoke and blank firer.

I will not start until February due to holidays. I will probably start with some of the smaller items as I do not want to work in the shed at this time of year.

Here is my work area.






Tiger crew inspection








Beside my 1/16 Tiger









1/16 Tiger in recent snowfall.





Panzer 111











Looking forward to starting on big scale.

Hi John, a most impressive and clean and tidy workshop..............that will change after year of the big stuff! Most rewarding though cheers Phil

Hi John

Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of big tanks.

I love your work room! Did you paint those grenadiers riding on that Tiger? Amazing work and I can't wait to see what you will do with a 1:6th Tiger.

Best regards
Tim

Thanks Tim,

Yes I painted the Grenadiers. 1/16 scale. Have painted some more since in winter camo.
I was so impressed with your Tiger build I have printed the whole thing out as a reference. I hope to incorporate some into my Tiger. Would you mind if I send you questions occasionally? I was thinking of starting with the turret first or possibly assembling wheels. Only problem is you have not started your turret yet and I'm afraid I will miss something. As for lowering the rear deck I think I may try the conversion that Steve Norris came up with as I do not have milling equipment or the expertise for the other deck fixes. I am away skiing in France until February so cannot start till then.
