Hi everybody,
I've finaly started my Tiger. It is tamiya kit, and will be updated with both Aber detail sets which are awesome and Armor scale barrel, some of the best I've seen. I wanted to open the hatches but didn't want to put any figures so I've decided to scratchbuild interior that will be visible. I try to be accurate as possible but at the end turret will be barely visible.
Hope you like it, this is where I am right now.
Regards

Marko,

It just goes to show what can be achieved by the simple addition of some modelling with plastic card, the quality that you have achieved is superb, hope to see some more as work progresses.

Marko,
Very nice scratchbuilding! I enjoy seeing others approach to detailing interiors, so I'll be watching your build, for sure. Hope to see more in the future.

Thanks,
here are some fresh progress pictures. Thanks for watching.

Incredible, I am impressed! How long have you been scratchbuilding?

Cheers
Andreas

Great job!! Your scratchbuilt gun breach looks like an aftermarket part!

Thank You gentlemen !!
Andreas, do you mean how long it took me to complete this? It took me about 7 days to complete canon and mount.
Here are the most recent pictures
Thanks for watching

Hi Marko, That is some incredible scratchbuilding you are doing. and in 1/48 as well... I started this Tamiya kit this week, using the Eduard PE set (but only the exterior..) and I can see what a great job you're doing. Now don't go losing those pictures, because I can see a feature in the making. (this is a blatant hint, I want you to submit this as a feature when you're finished... )

Looking forward to your progress.

Cheers
Henk

Wow simply stunning! At 1/35th that would be very impressive, at 1/48th its absolutely incredible!

Well was impressed. Then I saw the match for size and was very impressed. Lovely work Mark. PLease do a feature.
Cheers
Tony

Thanks all,

I will be very glad to make a feature article. I have a question/recomendation though, should I save the pictures of my progress for the article, or I can submit them here from time to time.

Thanks for watching !!

Holy mowly ....

Check your messages Marko..

I believe that the best scratchbuilding is scratchbuilding that can not be distinguished from actual factory or PE parts...You have accomplished that...and because of it...YOU ARE MY IDOL!! *bows down 5 times* I still can't believe it is scratch work, if you ever create an How-To article, I am definitely reading it.

where's that drooling emoticon?

man, this is great!...keep going keep going!

Hi,
here are some fresh pictures of my tiger progress.

Still there is a lot to be done here on interior, but the end is coming slowely regarding this part of model.

Hope you like it,

Regards,

That has got to be the best bit of scratchbuilding I have ever seen.
I'm so impressed Marko, even more so when considering the scale! I'd say the quality of your work is even better than some aftermarket sets. Truly incredible. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure!

Congrats Marko and keep up the amazing work.

James

Marko,

Have you gone cross-eyed yet?? LOL :-) Wow, this build is truly amazing. Keep posting. Great work!!

Hi Marko,

Fantastic work, some of the finest scratch-built work I've ever come across. Well done!

If I could ask you one question, it would be, why the Tamiya 48th scale Tiger? The Skybow/AFV Club version would of allowed you to continue building a full interior (if that is your intent?) with no limitations.

Thanks for sharing,

Frank

Thank You all for your comments, I really appreciate it.

Hi Frank,

well, I bought Tamiya when I came across it when I was in Austria so I bought it. Here in Croatia are no 1/48 aromur. So, once I bought Tamiya I started it, and I even didn't know of Skybow Tiger at the time, but if I would be starting Tiger today it would be Skybow for sure (or afv)

Thanks,

Regards

Marko

Absolutely incredible! I can't wait to see it all painted up!

That really is turning out nicely.

Hello after a long time. I have finally decided to finish this model. It is Tamiya 148, with aber and many scratchbuild parts.

Here is where I am right now:
