The picture is quite small, but it looks very impressive. Makes me want to see more of it. Great work! Did you by any chance take other shots, Betty? Thanks!

Great work Betty! Nice to see a lady doing models in general but armor in particular (ah, the lure of the Dark Side). By the way, any more at home like you?Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Betty, the pic is a thumbnail, but won't link to a bigger one.

The finished Tiger looks great now I got the magnifying glass out..........He, He.

Oh yeah, can I get out of the doghouse yet?

I didnt know you built armor too. Great job on the Tiger, Betty! Im getting xx's on some of the images, though. Can you please give me the link? Thanks!

Donna's got to see this. But then again ... my armor stash! Hmm, might not be a very good idea...

And here is the completed little diorama with my first ever armor model...!



This vehicle belongs to the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, fighting in the Kharkov area (now in Ukraine) during the winter of 1942-43.

The base is a little picture frame with expanded polystyrene and Paris plaster to create the 'landscape', over which I applied Baking Soda and hair spray. The road sign is plastic card and a bit of a cocktail stick... I applied some Paris plaster, wood glue and baking soda onto the tank as well, although this is mostly confined to the lower parts of the hull and the tracks.

I'm enjoying myself tremendously!

Thanks everyone. I am quickly learing why Tena loves building tanks so much!

Yes Frosty it is Great. I am very pleased I decided to share Domi's love of modeling.

Many many thanks to you all, I am so excited I have the base almost done for the Tiger! I am gonna work on it again tonight after our evening meal!

Big cats look great by the way MrsDeej.

Karl, you have to read between the lines there. She really said..."You should have bought 2, the second one being a kit I want to build and will snatch off your shelf when I choose." Wink [;)] Big Smile [:D]

Really good work on your Tiger though Betty! And moving right along on the Panther too! Does Domi HAVE any kits left???? Wink [;)] Maybe that's why you want him to stock up?? Big Smile [:D]

Very, very nice Betty. Look forward to the next one - Sherman Build Group here she comes!

(pst DJ, sssh, sssh keep it down or she'll hear........what you do is, hide the tracks or one of the sprues. Then you say "Oh, it's missing bits honey, you'll have to choose another one" he, he ........ Oh oh, she heard........err... um.........just joking Betty, we didn't mean it. Okay, see you in the doghouse in 5 minutes DJ!)
