Superb Jagd Tiger, destroyed Panzer IV and icy Tiger I

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 1:29 PM

Hi all! Just a little link for all those who don't frequent missing-lynx.com often.

First an excellent looking Jagd Tiger by a very talented Robert Ferreira

http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/german/jagdtiger_rferreira.html

And second, an extremely well done destroyed Panzer IV, which is modelled after a photograph of an actual vehicle, made by also very talented Miguel Jimenez

Finally a very creative diorama of a Tiger 1 trying to ford a frozen river, also by Miguel Jimenez:

I can't remember if it was this, or another "icy" dio I saw, but someone had luck using wax (for preserving canned foods), since the upper surface would show that "fozen, somewhere between snow and ice look" once the wax hardened...

Fantastic works! Really love the knocked-out Pz IV and have been considering something similar for the future (when my skills improve!).

He used parafin wax , I used it in a dio I did a bit back for the Panther build , you break it in peices once it is hardened and pour clear resin around it , it looks just like broken ice

Wow, those are fantastic! The "ice" looks like parafin to me, but who knows. But it sure looks cold!! Brrrrr!

Crazy stuff. I go to the site on and off. Most of the work I find there is just out of this world

That Panzer is incredible. Looks like it drove into a hornets nest of Shermans.

What amazes me is not the amount of photoetched parts but the scratchbuilt (styrene) detail. This guy must have taken the construction drawings of the real thing and copied all of it in 1/35. I'm just totally in awe here. And the paintjob on that Jagdtiger is also something to behold Cool [8D]
