Hi all i recently finished my first tank an Academy I early type Tiger with all the interior detail and enjoyed it imensley and i thought whilst building it what if you could go to the high street and buy one as you would a car. so i decided to build a dio of just such a scene and here it is hope you like it (i could post some pics of the Tiger as it was supposed to be if you like) i have never built a dio before so let me know how i got on. i normally scratch build ships. i will post some of those later.

Very clever idea.I like it. Does the tiger come with a free undercoat?

You do know the figures are 1/24 while the vehicles are 1/35?

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Tamiya makes some 1/25 tanks!

www.tamiyausa.com/.../1-25-scale-military-miniature-9000

A bit pricey, though.

I build 1/48 scale WW2 fighters.

Have fun.

Very cool idea, I like it!

I like that sporty little Panzer 38T more than the lumbering Tiger though Wink

In this format I don't see anything wrong with the figures, my first take was cool idea but the comment about the mis match of scales made this scene that much more cool, who wouldn't want thier own tiger to commute to work in. Probably runs a heck of alot better than the full size one, better milage too. Neat work.

we're modelers it's what we do

All that needs is Cal Worthington and his dog Spot!Big Smile (For those of you who grew up outside of southern California, Cal Worthington was a used-car dealer who advertised HEAVILY on local television not just for years but for decades. His screaming at the top of his lungs would compete with the overly loud banjo music and singers hollering "GO SEE CAL GO SEE CAL GO SEE CAL!" to see which would be the most obnoxious and make you want to hurl a hammer through the TV screen. But Cal was always most famous for his dog Spot, which would always be an elephant, a horse, a monkey, a kangaroo...anything but a dog.)
