Hi all,
a few time ago someone submitted a link to an incredible german tank (I think it was a Tiger) that a gentleman from England (if I'm not wrong) was detailing in a real terrific way with an impressive amount of after market and scratchbuilt parts. I tried to make a search in the forums but I was not able to find it. I remember that between that gentleman, that is also an Armorama user, and some other Armorama fellas there was a kind of misunderstanding that generated quite a bist of discussion too.
Can anybody help with that link?
Thanks in advance for your time and kindness.
Ciao

Scoc,

Can't you check in the "My account" thing and find the topics you created to find the link? I even emailed the link to my brother but I can't find the mail in my "sent" items folder. Strange. Anyway, I'll keep looking. It was extremely cool...

Hi, Think I remember the article you were talking about here. And if I'm not mistaken it was tied to the missing-lynx.com site. So if you can't find it here you might that site as well.

I do remember that it was ABSOLUTELY fantasitc.

Take care, sgirty.

Fabio

I think I have found the article at missing links but it`s seems like it won`t load or whatever is wrong with the link it gives a blank screen but at the bottom it says done.
I post the link here maybe it`s working on your computer
http://www.missing-lynx.com/articles/german/mmtiger/mmtiger.htm

At least this is what i think it is

Thanks a lot everybode for the time you've spent on this issue. Most of you mention missing-lynx but I'm quite sure it was a link to an english modelling club site...

For Faust: it seems that the link is not working, at least on my pc

Ciao

This model is indeed insane....

I remember the article, as this was about the first article I saw when I decided to get back into modelling...After falling of my chair and clamping my mouth shut again, I felt really depressed, and almost ready to give it all up again.

But anyways, I think this is, construction-wise one of the best I have ever seen. If he would ever do a wingy-thingy, in a similar style, he really has a chance to make the top guys on here feel miserable if he can come up with this standard... IMHO it would pay of to have this send to, and painted by one of the top painters in the business.

But thanks of reminding me of this article... I know go back to remotivate myself...

:-) :-)

Yeah, that's it alright. Scoccia, I emailed the link from home, not work and just found it myself. Now, if I can only get my employer to give a six month salary advance and a two year leave of absence, I'll build one myself...
