Here is my first attempt at a King Tiger. Tamiya OOB.



I am going to add a wire for the headlight. Any other suggestions for not too complicated modifications that will still keep it looking fairly OOB?

360 degree view. Click and drag to rotate.

Best regard

Nice touch with that cable for the headlight
Is there a way to set the rotation to a lower speed? Makes my head spin ....

One possible thing you could have done is to drill out the holes for the track pins in those spare track links hanging on the turret. Maybe you have already done this, the resolution of the images is too low to be able to see this type of detail

If you click on it with your mouse it stops Robin, but still a pain but all is well.

Nice job on this though.

Cheers

Track links on a Panther:
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/c9/32/e3c93218ebb7f7aee0f23926f43d6db5.jpg
Clicking the link above will show a larger version of the image below

Here they have the track pins inserted in the spare links. The holders on the tank in some cases hold onto the pins and in other cases to the "hinge fingers".
A track link without the track pin but with the ends of the track pin showing at the sides of the link will look really strange. Non-workable separate link tracks have only the ends of the pins so using one of those usually requires some modification: drill out or drill out and insert pin.
Using workable Friul-links usually eliminates some difficult drilling since they have the holes for the pins already

P.S. I learned to click and hold in the previous thread, about the Pz II, but I would like something in between full dizzy speed and locked to the mouse pointer
