Hi,

Not too long ago I posted a few in progress pictures of the Tiger-T-34 Hybrid which is going on a "Saving Private Ryan" dio.

Here are a few pictures of the finished model.

Any comments are welcome.



















Here is one more in progress picture just to see what happened ever since I finished the paint job.

Looks quite nice. I cannot imagine taking on such a project.

One thing I should point out is the ones in the movie had the drum style cupola. The top hatch was actually made from a 55 gal drum! Your's is more appropriate for the time period, though.

Great idee, movie star Tiger
Looks pretty good.

Great work, this would also be a prefect conversion to run alongside the new Formations Odball Sherman conversion for a Kelly's Heroes Dio!

You've done a great job on this one, well done!

James

Looking nice! Thanks for sharing...
Cheers!

Looks cool. Will fit very well into the diorama.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Steve,

Great job! I really like your model. Was this a resin conversion kit or scratch built on your part?

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments! I am happy to read ya'll like the tank.

It is correct that the cupola is not accurate. I mentioned that in a previous post but that was quite a while ago. I had to make a few compromises to make the build easier and the cupola was one of those compromises. Now I regret not changing it! But oh well,... nothing I can do about it now.

Matt, the whole conversion was done by myself. I heard though that there is a resin conversion out there somewhere to make one of these. There is a web address to the distributer of those conversion kits in the previous post.

Anyway it was great fun building this tank, it took quite a while but I enjoyed every minute of it!

Cheers,
Heli

Heli-- superb job!

A very funny idea and a great execution, well done - a real moviestar

what exactly is a tiger/t-34 hybrid?

It's a movie prop built for Saving Private Ryan. A T-34 modified to look like a Tiger.

oh okay. and i assume they did it for kelly's heroes too?
