                        Yes, it's been awhile since I've posted any new builds. I've revisted my Dragon Tiger I late. As you can see, I'm adding Cavalier zimmerit. So far the build has gone well. I intend to do as much building as possible, before I paint it. It needs to warm up in my garage/shop before I can do so. In the meantime, I'm thinking of starting my Dragon T-34 1941. The kit appears pretty easy to assemble, so I can get that built up quickly enough. Hoping to get a few builds on the shelf this year. If things go well, maybe I'll join a GB later on. Haha

                        Thanks friend. I know, another Tiger. Big Smile The last Tiger I built was close to 20 years ago.

                        Welcome back Eric! The Tiger is looking great so far. Myself, I can never see too many of any particular vehicle modeled. What do you use to adhere the resin zimm? I have a PzIV with a set of it that I want to tackle at some point in the near future and have never used it.

                        Welcome back! And as Gamera said, jump into the 1946 GB. It will be fun!

                        I've used a two-part opoxy that works really well. It adheres well and sets slowly enough to allow forgiveness. It smells like the devil though. I touch up corners with super-glue.

                        Thanks guys. Updates will probably be slow, so I'll only post meaningful updates.

                        thank you! Aside from a Panther F, I can't see anything in my stash that would work. I'm not sure I'm ready for that kit. I will evaluate my options after I finish a few builds.

                        I can't quite remember the last project you did so this'll be interesting.
                        Looks like you're off to a great start.

                         

                         

                         I did the Tamiya Semovente back in 2012 I believe. I know, its been a long time. 

                         

                        Yes, I remember that now.
                         A great looking build,                         http://forums.scifi-nexus.com/images/smilies/nabble/smiley_grin.gif  and (by far) more
                        recent than anything that I've done as of late.

                        I can handle as many Tigers as can be posted. But to be honest, i can't think of the last Tiger i saw out of the Steel Cats GB.

                         

                         

                         

                         

                        Hey,you forgot about my Jagdtiger ? Sad or they don't count ? 

                         

                        LOL, don't worry, i had not forgot that. I should have been more specific and meant the tanks rather than the variants.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
