Hi I'm wanting to modify my old DML tiger into a sci-fi one with perhaps a mini-gun and two jet turbine engines replacing the old maybach engine. what do you think?

Nick.

There was a similar thread here on Armorama about a month back:

There are quite a few people here interested in similar projects where reality meets science fiction. If building such a thing excites you, then heck ya build it. Take some pictures and post a build log. I'd follow it and I'm sure others would too.

yes, do it.

Hells yeah, do it! I'm all for fantastic what-ifs. I mean, check out what I've got in mind...



what do YOU think?

(That's the newest vision of the Niamh Railtank, waiting for the next T2K (09?))

Hi Guys thanks for the replies this is one thing that i will be doing now but i might get a tamiya King tiger instead of cutting up a decent 30 quid tiger from dragon. I'll see wht my LHS has in tomorrow.

Nick.

Hey Nichlloye go for it… I love doing WHAT IF’s to.. No one can tell you are wrong either.. Hey Cuhail is that self propelled?? If not it should be.. You gave me an idea.. If you look at my rail road dio it is full of what ifs..

GO FOR IT

Yes it's going to be propelled by an EMD 12 cylinder and a GE Generator with dynamic brakes. It'll be modeled and viewable.

99% scratchbuilt.

Thanks all somtime this year i want ago at scratcbuilding a tank destroyer (sci-fi) i've got a few idea's but one problem is bugging me tracks or wheels

Nick.

Hi Nick! Here's my entry



Though the loader would have a 'hell of a job'!

Hi Phil! you like tigers? what do you prefer tracks or wheels.

Nick.

If you want to do a HUGE conversion check out what Bruno has done.
SciFi Thread

Hi Nick! My preference is big wheels and big tracks! These turrets are destined in reality projects Rubber or steel... Steel gotta love those 'Gummi's'.

Phil

If you want to do it go for, it will make a change from all the other (samey) Tigers we get lumbered with.

I think I'll leave it alone for a while, a bit snowed under with kitty projects at the moment! Though one of my sons want me to zimmerit a GW Imperial Baneblade! Nearly got drawn into a discussion with one of his friends the other day, as to what would triumph between a Tiger and a Land Raider?

Imagination a truly great thing... Respect Phil.
