Great work Sven. However, I think some stowage would be a nice addition.

Very cool indeed!

In proper Monty Python form though, it should rear up and eat the large tiger in one bite, burp, then roam around the country side attacking cats or going up womens skirts.... oh NM I thought you said 'completely' different...

I believe you are right and I'm still waiting for the full set of
photoetched parts for it...

You never told us your JagdTiger was expecting?

Very nice work Sven-Åke, I wonder how long it will take to "grow up"?

cheers

Mike

I bet your eyes are tingling after building that one!

It's not that difficult to open hatches and add figures, stowage and aerials to microtanks. Used to do it a lot when I could see what I was doing

Nice paint job.

I've done some 1/72 stuff, but man - that's small. That's so small the braille bumps have braille bumps.

Nice little vignette.

It all depends on what he will be fed... Since he's so small
we'll start with some trucks and apc's and then when he's
grown he's first teeth we will move up to smaller tanks

OK, well I might give it a try with some other vehicles I have but
I'm afraid that my eyes aren't up to the task...

Thanks!!!

The little one is about the same size as a 1/35 scale Friul Tiger Link.

Glad you like it!
