After 3 years of off and on work-waiting for parts packets and limited to working in the warm months outdoors-it's finished. Stamped aluminum, cast aluminum and steel with red bondo zimmerit.

Mike... that is a phenomenal build. The picture of you with the Tiger brings the scale to real life so vivdily. Its truly obvious you made good use of the 'better' parts of the year. Awesome job!!!

How long did it take for you to get your drivers license for that?
That is one huge mother of a Tiger and certainly did a good job on the zimmerit and the whole camo scheme.
This is probably the biggest scale ive seen so far.
