I'm building a dio of a tiger tank hidden in an old auto garage with sherman and an infantry squad coming up aside street about to be ambushed.The problem i'm having is to get suitable figures to be in the process of opening up the doors.anybody know where I can get any thing to do the trick? #:-)

Are they going to be swinging doors? My first thought would be to take Tamiya's Amo loading crew and reposition thier arms to go more horizontally? I honestly don't recall any true 'pushing' figures.

Sounds like a custom repositioning of arms!

You may want to try and have the Tiger shooting through a window, parked way back in the garage, well camouflaged. Maybe a German ground guide peeking out of the window. Historically, I can’t imagine a Tiger, that could toast a Sherman at 1000 meters, trying to ambush a Sherman supported by infantry in town by having ground troops throw open the garage doors. Having the Sherman ambushing the Tiger, ala “Kelly’s Heroes” would be a different story. Shermans had to sneak. Just my 2 cents.
