Very nice build and build-review! You have done a great job on the Tiny Tiger and taken advantage of what looks to be wealth of detail.
The pointers will be helpful to those who tackle this beast - like ME!
Thanks for posting this - very inspirational! Now all I have to do is set aside perhaps 3 - 4 months for to do this one in (what takes others a week is my fiddling for a month or more - "speed, you know, kills!" )

Thanks Dan and Bob. I was surprised at how long this took to build and above all, paint all that great, detailed stuff you get. Even if I had an airbrush to use, I figure I wouldn't have saved that much time, maybe 5 hours? So yes, set aside plenty of time when you do get around to building it.
