That is truly one sick puppy! Nice work though, it is amazing what people can do with the medium of their choice.

I found this a while back on a foreign site, and was bowled over - especially by the track links. I am building a rough sherman interior from card/styrene and some old PE frets. To do what he's done for TRACK LINKS

I can safely say he's got a hell of a lot more patience than I'll ever have !! :-)

I figure if I tried that, I'd get about two or three cuts in, and that would be it! I got burnt out spending three months scratching a building! Extremely incredible work. It's probably more of a passion thing that having too much time on one's hands! LOL

Wow....no blaming Tamiya or Academy etc for inaccuracies on these ones eh.

The only down side for all the hard work is that water can be another enemy when storing these babies.....moisture etc.

Call me lazy but im sticking to plastic.

BRILLIANT!!!

Good luck with your project, though I suspect it will soon be more like "regards from the mental institute" :-)

seriously though, you have some talent and patience to be proud of

I am humbled that cardboard can be worked like that.

There was a guy who worked in the Smithsonian restoring cars. When he deceided to retire he began to make four or five copies of the last car he was working on. Something like 1/10 scale or so, all reall materials sheetmetal hammered into the shape of the fenders, leather with cotton filler over springs for th seats, the engine was a two-stroke since he could not make the valves and such. The whole power train, brakes and suspension worked. I think he also made a concession or solid rubber tubes, because he could not make the tiny valves for the innertubes.

People with this much skill are to be admired, and I think I'm pushing my skill level by using PE! LOL ! ! !

That Tiger is truly amazing. After seeing this and Lee LLoyd's (sp?) incredibly detailed brass and plastic Tiger, I may never get around to building the ones I have in stash... the bar is wayyy too high...at least for now...
